Uh-oh! Are you sure it says Alvin Ho? And on top of that, this doesn’t look like LeUyen Pham’s work either, but something copied/redrawn via computer.

Hi Joy! Thanks for stopping by. That’s the cover my publishers sent over for my approval. I approved it, and only saw that my name (and LeUyen’s) was missing as I was posting. I’ll have to ask about it. I don’t know if it says Alvin Ho, but it does say “American story” in the medallion.

Yes, it’s translated into Chinese. Finally, my parents will be able to read it for the first time 🙂 ! But without my name on it, they won’t believe I wrote it 😦 .

Congratulations! FYI, they’ve translated Alvin’s name into “A-wen”.

Thanks, Joss. Am I right, my name is nowhere on the cover? Is this typical in Chinese publishing, do you know?
