Zibby is joined by Jean Chen Ho to talk about her debut novel, Fiona and Jane, which started when Jean began weaving together short stories about the same pair of Asian American friends. The two discuss Jean's daily writing process, as well as why she's now less daunted to complete her upcoming standalone novel and the research she's currently conducting for it. Jean also shares what inspired her to create this book's piano instructor storyline and casually mentions that she's completing her PhD in literature and creative writing at USC.
