Hemie Yao published her debut novel, The Untold Truth of Club 門神: The Mission, at the age of twelve. Daughter of a Chinese immigrant, she lives in New Hampshire and grows up in a mixed culture background. She loves to immerse herself in nature, art, and fictional worlds.
At a young age, she loved to write short stories she never got around finishing. One day she found a book series that inspired her to write-and finish-a story of her own that surrounded Chinese Mythology and started her goal to publish a book.
