Heaps of thanks to Cher Tan of Liminal in Australia for the lovely interview about my book! You can read it here.
 I owe a debt of gratitude to Honour Zhu of the Auckland City Libraries in New Zealand for connecting me with Kate Middleton, the superhuman librarian who runs The Reading Revolution, a wonderful literary nonprofit that promotes shared reading in public libraries, aged care homes, immigrant communities, and at-risk groups across New Zealand. Thanks to Kate, my latest book has been included in their Aotearoa Literary Hub series, and is their featured book for July. This is the second time they've taken up a book I've authored, and I'm honored to be considered a New Zealand author even if I sometimes hesitate to use that title--I only lived in Aotearoa for three years as a graduate student, and I haven't been back in years. However, I've written extensively about the Filipino immigrant experience in Aotearoa, and I'm heartened that my stories and essays are reaching a wider audience in the country thanks to Kate Middleton and the hardworking "reader leaders" of The Reading Revolution. We will be ending the month with a zoom event on July 30, 7 pm New Zealand Time, and this event is free and open to the public. For more details, click here.
