A Family, Maybe‘s Feb. 13 launch at Bishop & Wilde at Tin House was a blast! My publisher, Ooligan Press is based at Portland State University, so it was only natural that we would start there.
The launch party started with the book signing, continued with an interview with the moderator, then a short reading, then more Q&A, then more signing. I am deeply thankful to Janeth Hernandez of Ooligan Press, who not only interviewed me but also managed a million details behind the scenes, all the Oolies on and offsite who made it happen, and Tyler of Bishop & Wilde, who hosted the launch in his warm, welcoming space.
I left Portland with unforgettable memories, and the launch attendees with the signed copies of AFM, which I hope they will enjoy.
The launch party followed the two talks I gave at Portland State University about the book the previous day.
The Pacific Sentinel, Portland State’s student-run magazine, covered the launch and the history of the book in a special feature in its April edition.
I am so honored by the reception the book received in Portland. Our LA launch is scheduled for June 14 at Book Soup on Sunset, and there will be other book-related events before and after. Stay tuned!
