On my Way to the Filipino American Book Festival in San Francisco

 

I'll be taking off soon on my trusty steed to San Francisco for the THIRD FILIPINO AMERICAN BOOK FESTIVAL, Oct. 2-4, 2015!

I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of talented and interesting people.

I'll be moderating the Filipino American Literature in the 21st Century Panel with Barbara Jane Reyes, Luis Francia, Eileen Tabios, and Erin Entrada Kelly. This will be on Saturday, October 3, 11 a.m. at the Koret Auditorum, San Francisco Main Library, 100 Larkin Street, Civic Center, San Francisco, CA 94102.

And I'll also be moderating two literary readings as follows.  Hot Off the Press Literary Readings are very popular. These will also be at the Koret Auditorium.
