    My novel, *The Sequel to Huanzhu*, is a sequel to *Huanzhu*. I welcome everyone to read, criticize, and offer feedback. It's not a sweet romance with angst, nor is it character-driven. It combines elements of suspense (mystery of her past, several murders), martial arts, palace intrigue, farming, ancient warfare, and time travel.
