The original Fish Eats Lion was one of the first and finest collections of Speculative Fiction from Singapore. I am so happy to be part of both books but it’s also a bit of a shock to realize that I’ve been getting published for so long. I have my editors to thank for this, particularly Jason Erik Lundberg, who edited both books, as well as the sorely-missed Lontar series.
Thank you to everyone who showed up for the launch of Fish Eats Lion Redux at Neo Kinokuniya Singapore Main Store. The Crossroads area was absolutely packed, and we spent about 30 min afterwards signing copies!
