Helped direct a reading from Keep the Faith by Ana Tejano this weekend. Loved the audience reaction to this. ❤️ #romanceclass #filipinoauthors
Reviewing the proof of the new edition of my first book (published in 2009) -- the most obvious change being the cover which now features a photo of people. Filipinos represented on romance covers. ❤️ #romanceclass #romantsy #filipinoauthors
Attended local bookish event #BookwormsUnitePH and got to take these home! I've read The Thief but it's time for a re-read?
Hey Stranger by Leng de Chavez isn't on Litsy and it's in Taglish (Tagalog+English) so I don't know if it ever will be, but am sharing here anyway. "Chat stories" are showing up more and more in bookstores and once you warm up to the idea of these two people just sending texts, other things about this format can be appreciated. Like distinct dialogue, using limited POV as a device, how to describe without seeing. Leng scores on so many things.
Welcome to Envy Park + Bonifacio High Street, where Moira goes to jog. #romanceclass #filipinoauthors
The Makati neighborhood where Carla works, and Dante lives #romanceclass #filipinoauthors
Took a photo of my Anton and Julie book in the Salcedo Village Makati neighborhood that they would be living in right about now. #romanceclass #filipinoauthors
My writing community in the Philippines, #romanceclass, holds live readings of romance books by #filipinoauthors. A few days ago was the first time we had a reading of the ~sexy stuff. I choose the excerpts and usually give notes to the actors, and this was the only note for this part. Because it had to land just right.
Philippine edition Playing Autumn in Houston (where the story's set) #romanceclass #filipinoauthors
Romance is goofing off 3 times out of 4? #romanceclass #filipinoauthors
My short story contribution ("All You Needed") to this anthology is set in this Manila bay area hotel #filipinoauthors #romanceclass
Loved Jennifer Hallock's micro-history lecture at Ayala Museum, how it weaved moments in Philippine history as a US colony into her character studies for historical romance. One of my favorite characters showed up in her slides with the face of Piolo Pascual and I nearly lost it hahaha.
#Historicalromance author Jennifer Hallock was in Manila. She gave a talk on micro-history and romance at Ayala Museum, and launched her new book. I got to have my copies signed!
Gregory Peck as Love Interest peg is following me! I don't mind.
pickAdored this book. It's not in bookstores in the Philippines so I ordered from Book Depository. I might just have the only print copy in this country and I have mixed feelings about it. Books we love should be easy to get... #diversereads #YA
Reading this new release by Samantha Sotto. Hosting her signing on Saturday! It's work that isn't work. #filipinoauthors #bookandcoffee #bookanddessert

Went through a bunch of romance books (by #filipinoauthors) today. Preparing for something fun. #romanceclass
Some cousins (who are not on Litsy) are getting books by Jay E. Tria this Christmas. #romantsy #filipinoauthors #romanceclass
pickThe Philippine print edition cover. Thinking of giving this as a gift. Who's into hot chefs? Haha. #romantsy #romanceclass #filipinoauthors
My teen self read romances, and these. When I see copies at secondhand book stores I still grab them, even if I have them. #ChristopherPike #YoungAdult
