Thank you Colson! My debut, THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER, follows two sisters growing up in the rapidly modernizing Singapore, their inseparable relationship becoming violently estranged when one plagiarizes the other's life to achieve fame and fortune. Out May 6!

Wrote about them here. "Driverless cars are often called autonomous vehicles – but driving isn’t an autonomous activity. It’s a co-operative social activity, in which part of the job of whoever’s behind the wheel is to communicate with others on the road." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
