Ed Lin, a native New Yorker of Taiwanese and Chinese descent, is the first author to win three Asian American Literary Awards and is an all-around standup kinda guy.

His books include Waylaid, and a mystery trilogy set in New York’s Chinatown in the ‘70s: This Is a Bust, Snakes Can’t Run and One Red Bastard.

Ghost Month, published by Soho Crime, is a Taipei-based mystery. Incensed, 99 Ways to Die, Death Doesn’t Forget and The Dead Can’t Make A Living continue that series.

David Tung Can’t Have a Girlfriend Until He Gets Into an Ivy League College, his first YA novel, was published by Kaya Press.

Lin lives in Brooklyn with his wife, actress Cindy Cheung, and son.

FOR YoU



The first chapter of David Tung Can’t Have a Girlfriend Until He Gets Into an Ivy League College, read by the author. For now, this is the closest you’ll get to hearing me read from my book apart from a videoconference, and the audio’s better, even if I do stumble over a few words at points.
