Iris Yang, a Chinese-American author, wrote two historical novels to thank the Flying Tigers (American Volunteer Group) for their sacrifices and contributions in WWII in China. Now she has been invited to the Flying Tigers WWII Veterans Reunion in September 2019, and she was interviewed on National Public Radio (WUNC's The State of Things) for her hard work. "Chinese-American writer Iris Yang's heart wrenching story is now a hot sale in the United States."—Xinhua "More than 70 years after WWII, a Chinese-American writer has introduced the Nanking Massacre, the Bombing of Chungking, and particularly the battles fought together by the Chinese and their American friends (the Flying Tigers) in the form of an English novel. Undoubtedly it's a good thing for the relationship between China and the United States, today and in the future."—The China Press Weekly (front page story) "A smashing historical account of China's chilling bloodbath during World War II... I recommend this heartfelt read with no hesitation to any admirer of historical fiction."—Paul Falk, author and reviewer "Even more than Wings of a Flying Tiger, Will of a Tiger is also a way of thanking veterans."— Priscilla King, author and reviewer Iris Yang, Ph.D. (Qing Yang) was born and raised in China. She has loved reading and writing since she was a child, but in China creative writing was a dangerous career. As famous writers and translators, her grandmother and her aunt were wrongfully accused as counter-revolutionary Rightists, so Iris had to choose a safer path—studying science. After graduating from Wuhan University and passing a series of exams, she was accepted by the prestigious CUSBEA (China-United States Biochemistry Examination and Application program). At age 23, with poor English, little knowledge of the country, and 500 borrowed dollars, she came to the United States as a graduate student at the University of Rochester. Later, she received a Ph.D. in molecular biology, trained as a postdoctoral fellow at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and worked at the University of North Carolina. Although she has published a number of scientific papers, she has a passion for creative writing, just like her grandmother, mother, and aunt. Her short stories have won contests and have been published in anthologies. Her debut novel, Wings of a Flying Tiger, has been published in June 2018, and its sequel, Will of a Tiger, has been released in January 2019. Currently, Iris is working on a story based on her grandmother, who was the first Chinese woman to receive a master's degree in Edinburgh in the UK. Iris now lives between Sedona, Arizona and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Besides writing, she loves hiking, dancing, photography, and travel. She holds a private pilot license, and her admiration for fighter pilots was clearly conveyed in her books. For more information, check her website: www.irisyang-author.com.
