Thanks Kindle Users!

I just got my May Amazon royalties and couldn’t be happier.  Thanks to every Kindle owner out there who purchased one of my ebooks.  My Amazon royalties are already quadrupled over what they were last quarter, and this quarter still has another month to go!

As I mentioned before, my primary motivation for writing isn’t the money (but I really appreciate it), but the royalties are real validation of the time and effort put into writing a book.  If I could just ask one more thing, if you’ve read and enjoyed one of my books, please post a positive review, or if that is too much work, just recommend it to someone.

THANKS TO ALL YOU KINDLE OWNERS OUT THERE WHO’VE BOUGHT ONE OF MY BOOKS!  Yes, I’m shouting– that’s why they’re all capitals.

Shanghai Girls: A Novel

For readers of the phenomenal bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love–a stunning new novel from Lisa See about two sisters who leave Shanghai to find new lives in 1930s Los Angeles.

May and Pearl, two sisters living in Shanghai in the mid-1930s, are beautiful, sophisticated, and well-educated, but their family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hoping to improve their social standing, May and Pearl’s parents arrange for their daughters to marry “Gold Mountain men” who have come from Los Angeles to find brides.

But when the sisters leave China and arrive at Angel’s Island (the Ellis Island of the West)–where they are detained, interrogated, and humiliated for months–they feel the harsh reality of leaving home. And when May discovers she’s pregnant the situation becomes even more desperate. The sisters make a pact that no one can ever know.

A novel about two sisters, two cultures, and the struggle to find a new life in America while bound to the old, Shanghai Girls is a fresh, fascinating adventure from beloved and bestselling author Lisa See.

Lisa See has a new book out now and I’ve had Shanghair Girls on my “to read” pile forever.  I bought it last year on my birthday with a Sony Store Gift Card I got as a present.
