YOU ARE ALL MOST DEFINITELY INVITED to the Zoom-based Book Launch of my novel, DOVELION: A FAIRY TALE FOR OUR TIMES! I put details below but you can also go HERE for more information.


DOVELION is a multi-layered story with something for (nearly) everyone, addressing not just literature but history, myth, the visual arts, cloud as well as indigenous culture, and even adobo! And then there's novelist Reine "Bonnie" Arcache Melvin (recipient of two Philippine National Book Awards for Fiction) who had helped edit my manuscript and with whom I'll be sharing a conversation!

A MINI REVIEW FOR MY MINI BOOK!

My miniature book, the 2-3 inch WHAT COUNTS unexpectedly get its first review and I’m delighted as it’s from miniature book expert/collector/publisher Todd Sommerfeld of Booksby Press. I appreciate it as O Henry’s story is a long-time favorite and what a treat to have written a short story likened to “The Gift of the Magi”!!
