About

Hi there!

I’m Caryn McCann, author of East-meets-West mystery-thrillers blending crime, super natural intrigue, and a touch of Chinese culture. I believe in second chances—and in stories that cross borders as well as genres.
‍
A few milestones from my journey:

• Got engaged in Hong Kong
  
• Worked in the Chinese film industry
• Coached Asian stars in English dialogue
• Studied Chinese in Hong Kong and China
  
• Spent two decades living abroad in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the UK

My debut, The Emperor’s Curse, introduces a cast shaped by cross-cultural mystery and Chinese holiday traditions. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me walking on the beach with my husband, sipping blueberry smoothies, or sharing a laugh over memes.
