Unfortunately, there are not a lot of published Hmong writers out there...most books by Hmong authors tend to be more about historical events...i.e Yuepeng Xiong, Dr. Yang Dao, etc...I wish there are more Hmong writers...shor t novels, etc...

Hey, that Patch Xiong just published one, too. Dead Promise.

I haven't read that book myself, but my sister said it's a good book.

If you live in MN around the Twin Cities, visit The Hmong ABC bookstore.

You can check out Hmong ABC. They sell books by Hmong authors.

The last book I read written by a Hmong person was Dust of Life: A True Ban Vinai Love Story.

I tried reading this book, but couldn't get through it.  I don't know why, but the story line was too slow for me and I kept falling asleep.  :)

I thought the novel Husi by Y. Jenny Lo was well written and a good and easy read.  :)

There's a book called "Through the Spirit Window" or door written by a Hueson Yang?  I use to have the book... but I have no idea where it went...

Supposedly, it's an autobiography of Hueson, from Laos through the Vietnam War, to his arrival in the US.

Very moving story... If only I remember where the book went... -_-

Link is to someone's review on the book... I think...

If you can read Hmong, my dad wrote two Hmong books. One is exclusive so only us kids have a copy, but one is at that Hmong ABC book store.
