About Janice Wee
Author of adventure and romance
Janice Wee is a Singaporean author who has published several books across a variety of genres, including multicultural stories and kids stories. She is known for her vivid descriptions of characters and settings, as well as her engaging and immersive writing style.
Background
A Straits Born Chinese from Singapore, Janice is the daughter of English teachers, with her father being the school librarian. Growing up in Rambai Road, she developed a love for books and comics from an early age.
She graduated from the National University of Singapore and now writes fiction, typically at grade 3 reading level, for the enjoyment of readers of all ages.
Naughty Little Nonya
She was a naughty Little Nonya growing up. She and her cousin Ray have fond memories of talcum powder shenanigans. They would powder their uncle's workout bench to turn it into a slide. They powdered the floor to make an ice skating rink which inspired a short story in her book Naughty Little Nonya.
Janice studied in Guillemard East Primary School where her late father worked as a teacher. She spent six wonderfully memorable years there.
Her book Little Nonya's Escapades is a work of fiction (more or less) based on her six years there, written in memory of her late Daddy, Mr Anthony Wee. Tammy's story is based on Janice's personal experience—fragments of precious childhood memories wrapped in fiction.
Food as Medicine
Janice enjoys eating Buah Keluak and is a foodie who loves a good cup of tea with scones. Here's her favourite scone recipe.
Due to weight problems and arthritis, in her new season in life as a full time author, she uses food as her medicine, cooking her meals with the health properties of the ingredients in mind. Her favourite daily protein source is her Anti-inflammatory oven baked chicken breast. Done right, it's tender and juicy and totally yummy.
She also has high cholesterol, which led her to experiment with overnight oats. Here's her favourite: Mango Avocado Chocolate Overnight Oats Recipe.
About The Chronicles of Emunah
Growing up, the highlight of my school holidays was staying with my cousin Ray. Sometimes she'd stay at our home. Other times, I'd stay in her home.
I remember those holidays in Siglap. Her dad, Dr Peter Wee HL was passionate about eschatology. He, my dad and all their brothers were huge comic book fans. My uncle has a library with decades worth of carefully preserved comic books. One of my favourite things then was to raid his collection. We'd get stacks of comics and spend the afternoons in the fantasy world of DC comics.
Meals were memorable with lively discourse on eschatology and comic book storylines. The book of Revelation was often a dinner topic which brought endless fascination although at that tender age, I struggled to follow their discussions.
That was decades ago.
Now, I feel a strong calling to write this epic. It's too difficult a project for me to do alone. My uncle, Dr Peter Wee has been amazing in guiding me through the difficult bits of Revelation and Eschatology so that I could write the novel, The Quest for Immortality, the main story for this series.
I have a sense that it is for someone I don't know, whom I may never meet, but whom I'd meet in eternity one day. Whoever you are, I hope this book, though a work of fiction, would encourage and bless you.
