Veeraporn Nitipraha started writing stories when she was a teenager. Born, raised and still residing in Bangkok, she used to work as an editor on a fashion magazine and as a copywriter for advertising agencies. These days, she is a mother to a young man, owner of four moody cats, and a devoted cook and gardener. A full-time writer, she also runs a writing shop. The title of her latest novel, published in Thai, roughly translates as "The Twilight Years and the Memory of a Memory of a Black Cat" - it won the S.E.A. Write Award in October 2018, making her the first female writer to win the award twice.
