Gloria Chao

Gloria Chao is an MIT grad turned dentist turned writer. AMERICAN PANDA is her debut novel, coming out February 6, 2018 from Simon Pulse/Simon & Schuster.

Gloria currently lives in Chicago with her ever-supportive husband, for whom she became a nine-hole golfer (sometimes seven). She is always up for cooperative board games, Dance Dance Revolution, or soup dumplings. She was also once a black belt in kung-fu and a competitive dancer, but that side of her was drilled and suctioned out.

I Hope This Doesn't Find You (2024)
Ann Liang
"In This Time It's Real, Liang's writing shines, weaving in cultural elements seamlessly while taking us through Beijing. A fun fake-dating romance to lose yourself in, filled with squeal-worthy moments."

With or Without You (2023)
Eric Smith
"With or Without You is as warm, filling, and comforting as a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The adorable fake rivalry romance and fun reality show premise will keep you turning the pages. I couldn't put it down! Warning: do not read this hungry."

Seoulmates (2022)
Susan Lee
"Adorable, heartfelt, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face!"
