About Ruby/Opal

Bio

Ruby Lang/Opal Wei is the author of the acclaimed Practice Perfect series and the Uptown series. As Mindy Hung she wrote about romance novels (among other things) for The Toast. Her work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Walrus, Bitch,  and other fine venues. She enjoys running (slowly), reading (quickly),  and ice cream (at any speed). 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.
