Having turned her back on the legal world, Lauren Ho worked in the humanitarian sector for several years before she realized that she was the one who really needed help. After she got the news that Last Tang Standing would be published, she promptly went on an unpaid sabbatical, to the deep chagrin of her mother and every Asian friend she had. Ho currently divides her time between Singapore, Malaysia, and France, ostensibly working on her next novel.

Last Tang Standing is not based on her mother.

At all.

Seriously.
