Autorenporträt
Kieran James grew up in Perth, Australia, spent some time in Hong Kong, Singapore and Fiji, and now lives in Paisley, Scotland. He tries to visit Hong Kong every summer but could not make it there in 2020 because of the global coronavirus lockdowns. He hopes that 2019 will not be his Last Hong Kong Summer. He is a regular customer at the China Garden restaurant in Hong Kong's To Kwa Wan district, where the Blue Girl ager bottles are apparently excellent.
