Wayne Ng was born in downtown Toronto to Chinese immigrants who fed him a steady diet of bitter melons and kung fu movies. Ng works as a school social worker in Ottawa but lives to write, travel, eat and play, preferably all at the same time. He is an award-winning short story and travel writer who continues to push his boundaries from the Arctic to the Antarctic, blogging and photographing along the way at WayneNgWrites.com. Wayne’s first novel, Finding the Way: A Novel of Lao Tzu, was released in 2018 (Earnshaw Books). He has also completed his third novel, a contemporary family drama.
