Hien Nguyen (mostly updates)

As of today, December 9th, my haunted YA Twin Tides is officially out in the world 😭🎉 Thank you to every hand that’s touched this book or reached out to me in support, I couldn’t have done it without you 🖤 #yabooks

I had such an amazing time attending Read Freely Fest in Columbia, SC this last weekend! The author swag even included the most adorable little friend from the Richland Library 😭 #bookfest

I am my mother’s daughter (shivering because I refuse to touch the thermostat, covered in tiger balm, simmering with suppressed anger, etc.)

the unbelievable writer update to kickstart this 2026: I’m a Clarion West student with my adult fantasy (Necromancer Rapunzel/The Boatman’s Flute) 😭 I’m so excited to be part of this stacked cohort with instructor Dr. Karen Lord ahhhh! ❤️ #writing authorhien.com/blog/im-a-clar…

Years ago, I made a lecture hall in #animalcrossing when my husband got his faculty job. Today, I updated it into a book launch for my debut 🥹 no villagers cane but that’s okay 😅
