Rowan sun became the accidental author of unspoken truth after heartbreak with Rain drove him into the late-night pubs of Kepong. Between cigarettes, cheap beer, posters peeling from the walls, and karaoke nights that always went wrong, he began writing the story of his grief. Two colleagues stumbled across his drafts, told him they loved it, and with that spark of encouragement an author was born by accident.

Since boyhood, Rowan has been drawn to Japanese culture from manga, dragon balls, Naruto to the novels of Murakami and the discipline of working in a Japanese firm. His fiction carries the silence, restraint, and guilt of Japanese Literature but with a Southeast Asian heartbeat. His debut novella, Rain and Sun, is steeped in grief and confession, a love story that arrived too late.
