Susan Blumberg-Kason is a freelance writer and editor based in the United States. She spent most of the 1990s in Hong Kong, studying Mandarin and political science at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. As luck would have it, she got into writing and editing a few years before the handover and hasn’t looked back since. She recently wrote the first guidebook to drinking tea in Chicago. Susan lives with her husband and two children in a quiet suburb of Chicago.
