Ruby Lang/Opal Wei writes warm, witty contemporary romance featuring emotionally complex multicultural characters and their rambunctious families. Her recent screwball rom-com, Wild Life, was called "breathtaking" by The New York Times Book Review. She also wrote about romance novels for The Toast and was a 2010 fiction fellow for the New York Foundation for the Arts. Her nonfiction has also appeared in The New York Times and The Walrus. She and her family are recent transplants to Toronto.

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.
