Biography
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 author and traveler who continues to push his boundaries from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
Author of THE FAMILY CODE, LETTERS FROM JOHNNY, JOHNNY DELIVERS (2024) and FINDING THE WAY: A NOVEL OF LAO TZU.
