Ok, first allow me to direct your attention to the search bar in the photo. 🤣 I didn’t type that. That was auto AI suggestion. What exactly are you trying to say?! Do you know me personally?? 🍜 😂
Anywaysssssss, on with my point - which is I finally took one of my leaps and opened my Red Bubble shop! Some of you know I’ve been talking about expanding on my creativity and building the VC Empire. 🤓 And instead of continuing to hide behind whatever excuse I could muster up, I decided to just do it. A slow, “soft open” if you will. Just a few designs to put the “face” up. Seeing as I’m currently on deadline for the next Noodle Shop book - No. 11 - I have to stay focused on that, but more things will be coming in the future. Like lots of things. And frankly, I’m damn excited about the possibilities up ahead.
Link for the shop is in my Linktree. 😃

Excuse me while I make some room for this coming addition of the Noodle Shop family. 🤗 #pekingduckandcover will mark the 10th book in the series and to be honest - I feel like I’m just getting started. Lana and the gang continue to keep me on my toes. In this installment we’re headed to a Chinese New Year party at Asia Village. I think it’s safe to say that things are going to go that well. 😂 But hey, kudos to Lana for still showing up everyday. 😉
We are less than a month away from release. Are you as excited as I am?!

I’m a nerd for themes. 🤭 And finding #allthingspink is not a problem in the House of Chien these days. Felt appropriate for an immunotherapy week.
Finally turning the corner after a bout of not feeling well for the past several days and have the best intentions of productivity for the coming week. Getting back to my #happyplanner and boosting my mood with some #stickers. Cuz we know I love them. 🤗
At the tail end of #perilinpink and thoroughly enjoying it. @sydneyleighauthor did a great job with this introduction to her new series. The voice and style she writes in…👌🏻 Clever, witty and personable. 💫
I hope all of you are starting your week out well, reading fun things and taking moments of self-care. And if no one told you today, you look absolutely amazing! Then again, you already knew that. 😉 🫶🏻

It’s here! It’s here! Today’s the day. As I said in my video earlier, my announcement is a little late, but I would be remiss if I didn’t give it the love it deserves. I hope you enjoy this little romp with Kimmy Tran and Megan Riley as they navigate their time together without Lana around.
Happy reading! And thanks again for the support.

Finally! 😅 I’m here with this…as promised. Before #pekingduckandcover makes its debut, there’s a little diddy called Gone to Hot Pot - where Megan and Kimmy get into a little trouble of their own. Learn what happened while Lana was away in Irvine on her last adventure. I know a lot of you missed #cleveland and frankly, I did too. 😉
This will be out on May 21 and I’ve included the link in my linktree. FBers, I’ll pin a link to my page. 😃

You guys. 🤣 that cover was the best “still” of the bunch. I can’t with myself. Anyways…..unexpectedly started my YouTube channel. Something I’ve been waiting to do for too long. No more waiting. The thought of putting my life totally on hold during this process AGAIN is just not sitting well with me.
So check it out - Link in my linktree! Facebookers - I’ll direct post. 😃 Don’t forget to subscribe for more fun things coming down the pipeline. 💫
Hope you’re all doing well! 💕 Have a great weekend!

This picture is a total fake out. 🤣 you know me and my odd beginnings! A longer than anticipated chat about health, books and a Fortune Cookie Friday.
Thank you to everyone who hung out with me, all your questions, love and support! I appreciate you always! 💕

😭 there are no words! Of all days… 😌 so picture it, I’m coming home from a doctor’s appointment - of which I’ve been anxious to go to since I left the last doctor’s appointment a week ago. Today my final JP drains were removed. If you don’t know what those are, I hope you never do. If you do know…well, you know. 😐 #ew
I get home and my phone is going bonkers. I’m like, omg what is it now? Can’t I just celebrate my drain removal day?! 😆 and the universe was like, I’ll do you one better, kid. Here it was my agent and fellow sisters in crime telling me that MISFORTUNE COOKIE WAS NOMINATED FOR AN EDGAR!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 my little engine that could! My passion project. My rehabilitation book. My “favorite child.” I’m so incredibly grateful just to have been nominated. 💕 That book means the world to me and I couldn’t be happier!
A huge congrats to my fellow nominees! What wonderful company I find myself in. ☺️

👋🏻 hi friends! First post of 2024! In case y

👋🏻 hi friends! First post of 2024! In case you were wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been circling the 7th layer of hell. But I’m ok and have another very exciting post following this one with fun news.
But basically wanted to check in and update on what’s been happening in the health department. Part of my treatment involved having surgery and after much deliberation I decided to go through with a double mastectomy to prevent any future recurrence. During the holidays I didn’t feel like talking about it with anyone and decided to wait until the surgery was over before I shared anymore details. I’m two weeks past the procedure and am healing nicely. Moving slow and in a lot of pain, but gaining momentum every day. Chemo will be next in line…😒….no comment on that for now. I love my chemo nurses but I’m kinda over the whole thing, you know? 😅
And lastly, thank you to those who reached out, sent cards and offered their well wishes. It meant so much to me! (Especially to finally give my PO Box a workout. 🤭😆) You guys are amazing and I love you all. Hope your holidays were fantastic! 💕
