Jade Chen blends Eastern and Western mythology in fast-paced urban fantasy adventures that redefine what it means to walk between worlds. Growing up between San Francisco's Chinatown and Hong Kong, Jade developed a unique perspective on the collision of ancient traditions and modern life. Her vampire hunters, demon slayers, and supernatural investigators navigate neon-lit cities where ancient magic collides with cutting-edge technology, creating a vivid tapestry of cultures, creatures, and conflicts.
With a background in martial arts and a deep knowledge of Chinese folklore, Jade brings authenticity and excitement to every fight scene and mystical encounter. Her protagonists are often second-generation immigrants straddling two cultures, discovering their supernatural heritage while navigating identity, family expectations, and romance. The love stories she weaves are as intense as the battles—whether it's a forbidden romance between a demon hunter and her target, or allies-to-lovers tension between supernatural investigators.
Jade's writing is known for its breakneck pacing, intricate magical systems drawing from multiple mythologies, and mouth-watering descriptions of food (her characters always find time to eat, even while saving the world). She holds a black belt in Wing Chun and regularly incorporates realistic combat choreography into her action sequences. Readers praise her for creating diverse, complex characters and urban fantasy worlds that feel fresh, inclusive, and utterly addictive.
