Author’s Biography

USA Today Bestselling Author Vivien Chien first started writing simple stories about adventures with her classmates when she was in elementary school. As she grew up, her love of books and the written word increased, leading to the attempt of her first novel at age 16. After many struggled beginnings and several different genres, she found her passion in the mystery world.

When she’s not writing, she can be found frolicking in the bookstore or searching for her next bowl of noodles. She has a soft spot for doughnuts, a healthy love for coffee, and an extreme need to participate in random acts of crafting.

Vivien is the author of the Noodle Shop mysteries and her new series, the Olivia Chang mysteries, will debut in 2027.
She currently lives in Cleveland where she is hard at work on her next book.

Learn more about Vivien on her website.
