==Biography==
Mones did business in China for 18 years from 1977, running a textile concern, and all four of her published novels are set mainly in China. In all of them, a love story is entwined around a detailed and accurate description of a facet of Chinese culture: in ''Lost in Translation'', the heroine becomes involved in an archaeological expedition to find the remains of Peking Man; the action of ''A Cup of Light'' turns around a rare collection of Chinese porcelain; ''The Last Chinese Chef'', as its name suggests, features Chinese cuisine; and ''Night in Shanghai'' is the story of African-American musicians in Shanghai during the jazz age and what happened when World War II exploded around them.
Mones currently lives in Portland, Oregon.
