Most of Jackie Lau’s characters are Asian Canadians, like herself. She has said she started writing more nonwhite characters and lighter, funnier romantic comedies during the Trump era to tap into what readers needed during that time. She is a hybrid author with a mixture of self-published and traditionally published books. Her stories often feature family or friend group dynamics, but the focus is on the hero and heroine. And, as in all true romance novels, a happily ever after is guaranteed. With 21 romance novels and novellas, it can be hard to know where to start when reading Jackie Lau for the first time.
