Like for the pandemic itself, we’re learning as we go. Well unfortunately, as you know, the pandemic is still going on! Since Amah Faraway is about re-connecting with a faraway loved one, this would be ideal. When my editor Sarah Shumway first acquired Amah Faraway in 2020, we talked about how when it published in 2022, we would be emerging from the pandemic and beginning to re-connect with those we hadn’t been able to see for a long time. What’s it like having your book published during the pandemic? Today we have this opportunity to chat with Margaret about her new book and publishing journey.ġ. ![]() She currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, three children, and a fluffle of dust bunnies. ![]() Amah Faraway was inspired by her childhood memories visiting her Amah-exploring night markets, splashing in hot springs, and connecting with relatives-and by her children experiencing Taiwan with their Amah for the first time.

Margaret Chiu Greanias is the author of Amah Faraway and Maximillian Villainous. ![]()
