HALLO!!!! Eventually, I will come up with a good name for these posts. Until then, I guess we’ll just deal with it.
First things first.
One thing I’m trying to be better about is telling folks that I am an author – with a book that has sold a surprising amount! In honor of Black Friday – I’ve discounted the normal sale price by 50% so you can get my book, So You Want Your Kid to Learn Chinese, for $4.99. (Yes, yes. Despite the presence of the 4, it’s still a good Chinese book.)
Alright, with that out of the way, we can continue.
My Mochi Magazine Articles

Back in August, I had the privilege of interviewing Asian American actor, Dustin Nguyen.

2) The Unknowable You: An Interview with Playwright Lloyd Suh
