China, not so much. Great novels about
China are often written by Westerners of Chinese background, writing the stories gleaned from their families.

This coming trilogy of mine is not going to be set in India, either, actually. It's going to Indonesia, far less featured in novels than either China or India.

As an Indian myself I have wondered, maybe because of oft competitions/comparisions, why India as a setting features much less than, say, China in fantasy. And now that I think of it, one of the reasons might be because it is because much of our myths are rooted in religion, and going there without understanding might hurt more than entertain. Yet we have a glorious present and some authors, indian and western alike, are going there.

I have enjoyed all of your books!! I loved The Little Princess (obviously not by you) but Sara Crewe knew all about lascars because of her time in India. It was one of my favourite books as a child.

I am so pleased to hear this and will look forward to the trilogy some time next year. I am so pleased you have finally got someone to publish your work. You must be so pleased.
