Jade Chen grew up between two worlds—attending Chinese school on weekends while binge-watching K-dramas at night. As a second-generation Chinese-American, she spent years as a cultural consultant in Hollywood, frustrated by the lack of authentic Asian representation in romance. From her loft in Los Angeles' Koreatown, Jade writes the stories she never saw growing up: Asian characters with rich inner lives, cultural authenticity, and unapologetic sexuality. Her work celebrates food as love language, explores diaspora identity, and centers Asian women as romantic and sexual protagonists.
