My first book reading
my first book reading (via zoom) at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, on 7/22
The last time I was published by Scholastic in an anthology, there were readings in Battery Park,NY and I never went as I thought I would not be able to participate, much to my regret now.
So this was my very first attempt using text to speech to read out the excerpts.. yeah.
Thursday 7/22, Essential Truths has their virtual Oakland Book Launch, hosted by Oakland Asian Cultural Center, from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. PST!!!!
