Diana Hongcha is a Chinese American author whose debut thriller, If You Don’t Go, earned a silver medal at the Global Book Awards and reached Amazon Bestseller status.

A frequent traveler to China and a self-appointed culture attaché, she aims to write compelling stories that bridge the gap between the China she knows and the one depicted in the headlines. Diana dreams of one day splitting her time between Chengdu and Bozeman, Montana. For now, she’s happily immersed in family life and the next story waiting to be told.
