A Suspicious Collection
Prepare yourself for a journey into the unexpected. Two strangers share an illicit passion following a chance encounter in a coffee shop; an aeroplane cabin sets the scene for an unlikely redemption; a demonic conspiracy complicates the familiar story of the faithful dog Hachiko; a costumed woman stands in the rain at a bus stop. The stories and poems in A Suspicious Collection collide the weird and the wonderful, clashing hope with despair, loyalty with betrayal, and starlight with the pulsing energy of the darkness that resides in every human heart.
"This is a collection of Yen's prose, poetry and drawings, and it's a great illustration of the breadth of her work. There's always a hint, or more, of the other-worldly, and the issues of living and dying weave their way through a lot of the pieces. Yen packs a big punch in her writing, and I'd highly recommend getting acquainted with her work." Richard S., Amazon review
Sun: Queens of Earth
Written in the tradition of classic science fiction from the likes of Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert and Philip K. Dick, Yen Ooi balances rich imagination and simple storytelling to bring us into the future of Earth and the world of Sun. The Great War has ravaged Earth and left humankind a shadow of its former self. Faced with the mortality of their race, those who remain press on with a newfound humility and strive for equality in their drive to advance the species. Hope lies on a new frontier for humanity, as newly developed technologies and a profound discovery push them out into space. The chance to begin again is at hand, but will the old fears and the old ways return to hamper mankind’s progress once again? Two girls, the seed of humanity’s greatest aspirations, must find the courage to choose.
Book One of the Sun Series is a story about humanity’s fight against extinction, aspiring to flourish, to move away from their dystopian past.
“Yen Ooi's sci-fi debut has the charm and simplicity of a fairy tale, but its scope and its emotional depth will surprise you. Big ideas in a small bottle.” Mike Carey
