Thank you very much! I look forward to reading your book. Much appreciated. I did a lot of research, but I will look at her life from a Shamaness point of view, perhaps only 9 years. I never thought Anna May Wong would become popular. I am happy for that. Keep in contact. I am starting my own movie production company. I know I am crazy. I taught cinema at a university for over 25 years. I have many friends who have been waiting for me to retire and start. I am in Hollywood now. They are on strike. Bye for now.
This cover is GORGEOUS and how you've shared the process and your emotional journey through this entire project, really, is inspiring and nourishing. Pre-ordering my copy now and will be sharing with booksellers and others in my life who can amplify it!
Like you, Katie, I am captivated by the cover design of NOT YOUR CHINA DOLL. I love the fresh green color of Anna May's dress, how her arms and hands caress the O of NOT, and how her body is intertwined with the letters of the title. Kudos to Vi-An Nguyen! Katie, I don't know how you could keep it a secret for three months. Congrats on nearing publication!
Gorgeous cover, fabulous post. I love this dive into the process of cover selection and design!
I’m broke right now. I go to food pantries. Our health care system is a health kill system.
Survived cancer twice. Murdered by bill. My book is coming out.
I will do an interlibrary loan. I must read your book.
Broke Ass Samurai. I’ve been invited to the Harvard Seth kendo tournament. Lol
My samurai club is preparing !!
Thank you for writing about my hero. Visiting LA now. I grew up here. The homeless tents make me cry. Anna May Wong would not approve.
Our country has died.
I want to read it. Hollywood is making a film now. Based on the first bio which was poorly researched. There is one book that had amazing research.
I have her autograph that I bought years ago.
So I don’t think the film will be any good.
I’m currently writing my own book on her. I grew up in Los Angeles. People don’t know about the ChinaTown massacre. At the end of the 19th century.
To watch a yellowfacing film, is so painful. I lecture at libraries about Yellowfacing.
Thank you. Bless you. My mother was born in North Korea and escaped. I’m writing her story.
Thank you.
Thanks for your comments, Wayne! And glad you have another Anna May Wong fan reading along here. Best of luck with your books!

This is a really beautiful book cover, I'm sure the contents will be just as compelling! Congratulations!
Thank you, Florence!

Anna May would have loved this song. By Jolin Tsai.
I’m not your girl.
