Volume One, River Lanterns, contains twelve short stories, each centered on the life of a historical writer or renowned military commander. Drawing on their historical settings, the stories reimagine dry historical records as literary fiction.
We have our own stories today, while the stories in my book belong to the people of the past. They are lamps along the long river of culture, shining brightly still. I want to tell the stories of our forebears well, and let those who come after us know the stories we write.
