The Vale

by Abigail Hing Wen

"This week, a new book for young adults just dropped called The Vale, written by Abigail Hing Wen (bestselling author of Loveboat Taipei) — a luminous, deeply human story about ambition, identity, and AI. I sat down with Abigail to hear her story."

The People vs The Golden State Killer

by Thien Ho

"Watching @ThienHoCA, author of The People vs The Golden State Killer and DA of Sacramento. His book is now for sale on Amazon. If you are into true crime, this story is wild."
