Syd Goldsmith is the author of two novels, "Jade Phoenix," and
“Two Musicians and The Wife Who Isn’t.†I can claim that the sexes get equal treatment in my work, since Jade Phoenix is a two man and a woman story, while Two Musicians is a two women and a man triangle.
My “Hong Kong on the Brink.†(Blacksmith Books, 2017) is a memoir, published on the 50th anniversary of Hong Kong’s 1967 Emergency, when Cultural Revolution inspired mobs marauded for months. Many feared that China would march in and kick the British out. This memoir features spies, diplomats, reporters and China watchers who wondered whether Hong Kong as we knew it would survive.
