And growing up, I never saw myself represented in princess media. We just don’t have a lot of Asian princesses, period. I think Tokyo Ever After was a natural genesis. I have genre hopped, haven’t I? But when you look at my work, there is a build there. You’re quite the literary chameleon – your first book was a psychological thriller, your second a historical Japanese fantasy and now this effervescent contemporary romance with a timeless “I’m really a princess” trope. In her third novel, Tokyo Ever After (Flatiron Books, May 25, 2021), a California teen turns out to be a Japanese princess.
She is the author of Empress of All Seasons and We’ll Never Be Apart. Before she became a writer, she was an entomologist, a candlemaker, a florist, and most recently, a teacher.
When Emiko Jean isn’t writing, she’s reading.
