Chinese Whisperings is delighted to introduce to you Jen Brubacher, the fifth new starter for Team Yin Book.

Like fellow Canadian Jasmine, Jen now lives in London, England, but remains a Canuck through and through.

Jen has participated in six of the last eight National Novel Writing Months, and in addition to her NaNo novels has written three and a half other books. Her staple genres are mystery and suspense, but she’s willing to give other genres a go, as she feels that the best stories are universal.

Jen provided the first review of The Red Book after its launch, and jumped at the chance to take part in the new anthology.

I see short fiction as something that can be incredibly powerful when done right, sometimes even more effective than a novel. So although I usually concentrate on novel-length fiction, I have great respect for short stories and I try to practice them as often as possible. While reading “The Red Book” I was struck by how each story built on the others and at the end I had a great picture of much more than just each character’s perspective. Together they were powerful. So when I was approached to participate in the next anthology, I couldn’t pass up the chance to be a part of that effect. I hope I do it justice.
