Cindy Pon was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and her family immigrated to
California in 1980, settling in the suburbs of Los Angeles. She began
writing stories before she was officially declared English proficient.
She received her bachelor's from the University of California, San
Diego, and also earned a master's from New York University. The author
is a student of Chinese brush painting, and her love for the art is
reflected in her storytelling. Cindy Pon lives with her husband and two
small children in San Diego, California.
