Phred Dvorak. WSJ.
(One of a series of thumbnail biographies of prominent journalists)
Phred Dvorak wanders around Asia for the Wall Street Journal, looking for a decent glass of bubble tea. When she finally finds it, she will retire to her ant farm in the Berkshire-Hathaway Hills to continue her ongoing romance series for Harlequin Books -- featuring protagonist Clinty O'Bomba, impetuous Irish heiress who looks for love in all the wrong crevasses.
She graduated Carpe Vinum from UC Berkeley in Asian Stutters.
Stationed in Tokyo for many years, Ms Dvorak developed a taste for yakatori, miso, wai wai, ke-mo sa-bee, and gefilte fish. She likes to cook for guests in her well-equipped kitchen in her elegant condo on the shores of Lake Sacagawea in Singapore. She often seats a dozen people at her dining room table -- although she only ever manages to feed about four of 'em.
Her journalistic credentials include a stint as blurbist for Pottery Barn, and ten years with the Mumbo Sauce Review -- where she edited solecisms and swept out the break room each night.
Her most recent literary award is the 2019 Dickens & Fenster Trophy for Promising Young Funambulists.
In her spare time she likes to refurbish rotary phones and raise the Titanic.
