Julia and Brad share their experiences writing a novel as a team as well as how they were inspired to write their fantasy epic, which takes place in a world inspired by Japanese-occupied Korea in the 1940's, by the real life star-crossed love story of their grandparents.Follow Julia and brad on Instagram at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliariew/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@juliariew</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bradriew/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bradriew</a> and check out their debut novel&nbsp;<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-last-tiger-brad-riew/4703e5e05727a17a?ean=9798217002054&next=t&aid=11692&digital=t&listref=author-interviews" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Last Tiger</a> available now on the&nbsp;<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/throwback-maurene-goo/18639107?aid=11692&ean=9781638930204&listref=author-interviews" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Books & Boba bookshop</a>!Books & Boba is a podcast dedicated to reading and featuring books by Asian and Asian American authorsSupport the Books & Boba Podcast by:<ul><li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/booksandboba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joining our Patreon to receive exclusive perks</a></li><li><a href="https://booksandboba.captivate.fm/bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Purchasing books at our bookshop</a></li><li><a href="https://booksandboba.captivate.fm/merch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rocking our Books & Boba merch</a></li></ul> Follow our hosts:<ul><li>Reera Yoo (<a href="https://twitter.com/reeraboo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@reeraboo</a>)</li><li>Marvin Yueh (<a href="https://twitter.com/MarvinYueh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@marvinyueh</a>)</li></ul> Follow us:<ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/booksandboba/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/BooksandBoba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/197124-books-boba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Goodreads</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/booksandboba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li></ul> The Books & Boba May 2025 pick is&nbsp;<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/blob-a-love-story-maggie-su/21679925?aid=11692&ean=9780063358645&listref=book-club-picks-91552a56-f7a9-40f3-b303-66310685ac2e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Blob&nbsp;</a>by Maggie SuThis podcast is part of&nbsp;<a href="https://booksandboba.captivate.fm/potluck" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Potluck: An Asian American Podcast Collective</a>
