A J Mo is a writer, born in the UK to parents from Hong Kong. After growing up in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, he journeyed on to Cardiff, London and Shenzhen, China. On this voyage, he worked as a volunteer counsellor, mental health support worker, carer, special needs teaching assistant, English teacher and once in a convenience store making sure all the snacks on the shelf were straight. Aside from writing and reading, he is enthusiastic about the mind, food and food for the mind. And when not writing, he’s either chopping, stirring and mixing his latest culinary concoction or hunched over on the sofa giving himself blisters plucking away at his bass guitar.
