For Sung J. Woo (“Everything Asian,” “Love Love,” “Skin Deep”), favorite locations often make appearances in his books. His upcoming novel “Lines” – which deftly weaves a story of love, loss and forgotten possibilities – is set in suburban New Jersey, downtown Manhattan, Waimea (Hawaii), Portland and Breitenbush (Oregon). “These are all places I’ve lived at or have visited,” the author said. “I adore integrating my travel experiences in my books. In fact, Breitenbush in particular plays a large part in this novel. They are known for their hot springs and it’s the first time I was at a clothing-optional venue. Not sure there will be a second time, but it was memorable to say the least.” Scheduled for release on Oct. 29, “Lines” (Unsolicited Press) may be pre-ordered at https://www.newtonvillebooks.com/book/9781956692501.
