About Ruby/Opal

Bio

Ruby Lang/Opal Wei writes warm, witty contemporary romance and magical  women's fiction featuring emotionally complex multicultural characters and their rambunctious families. Ruby's work has been featured in NPR,  Buzzfeed, and O, The Oprah Magazine. As Opal Wei, she is the author of the upcoming screwball rom-com Wild Life. She also wrote about romance novels for The Toast and was a 2010 fiction fellow for the New York Foundation for the Arts. Her non-fiction has also appeared in The New York Times, The Walrus, and Bitch.  She and her family are recent transplants to Toronto.

The Good Stuff

I was born in Vancouver, Canada, raised in Winnipeg and then ran off to New York for 20 years. When I was  younger, I wanted to be fast-talking journalist Hildy Johnson from His Girl Friday but lacked verbal speed (and the ability to look good in hats), so I became a hatless and hapless editor instead. I have a scar on my leg  from zipping down a banister in fifth grade. I also once slid down the  escalator banister at the Westin Emerald Plaza in San Diego but sustained no lasting damage—except perhaps to my dignity.
