Her first book, Be Water, My Friend, offers insight into how to use her father’s philosophies toward a more fluid, peaceful and fulfilling life and has been an editor’s pick and popular choice for teaching curriculums in both high schools and universities. Shannon is also developing a biopic on her father with Sony Studios as well as an animation event series based on her family’s legacy. She has several other film and tv projects in development as well. Shannon released the first in a series of fantasy YA novels called Breath of the Dragon (a NYT bestseller), which she co-authored with the talented Fonda Lee. They are working on Book 2 of the series now!
She recently launched a short form podcast to help inspire ease and perspective shifts called A Little Leeway available where most podcasts are found.

The word leeway means a little extra time or space in which to move. It is a precious grace, ease or release that allows you to consider your choices through new perspectives and pathways. Why does everyone have such great ideas in the shower or bathroom? Because you are in a moment of pause and your mind is relieved of the duty of planning, analyzing and ‘protecting' you for a few relaxed moments and so some new inspiration can find its way in. And that is the key to leeway - relaxation - enough gentleness and ease in which to consider something new, some other way, and time to check in with the true self. I hope that you find that measure of ease here within my offerings. I wish you love and wellbeing.

This show was in the makings for 50 years!
My father wrote the treatment and pitched it but never got any traction or acknowledgment for it. Finally, through amazing collaboration with Justin Lin, Danielle Woodrow, Jonathan Tropper and Cinemax we were able to breathe life into my father’s vision.
The show is an amazing, groundbreaking and entertaining historical action drama set in 19th century San Francisco Chinatown.
You can watch season one and two on HBOMax. We are in the midst of gearing up for season 3 after winning the fight to get it it transitioned Cinemax and renewed on HBOMax.
