Virtual, free of charge, registration required.

The Harrison Public Library’s much-anticipated annual Meet the Authors event will be on Saturday, October 23rd, from 11:00am–4:00pm ET. I’ll be there (virtually!) alongside authors Gloria Goldreich (The Paris Children, Dinner with Anna Karenina) and Jennifer Ryan (The Kitchen Front, The Spies of Shilling Lane, and The Chilbury Ladies Choir). We’ll speak about our books and then have a Q&A. The Village Bookstore of Pleasantville will be selling signed books from its storefront and online!

LIVE AND IN-PERSON!

Join author Ricco Villanueva Siasoco in a conversation with three debut novelists about the process of building alternative histories of the American West, from the Gold Rush through World War I. Patty Enrado’s A Village in the Fields highlights a compelling but buried piece of American history: the Filipino-American contribution to the farm labor movement; Rishi Reddi’s epic Passage West, Los Angeles Times’ Best California Book of 2020, explores a Punjabi sharecropper family in California during World War I, as they work and live alongside their Mexican in-laws and Japanese neighbors; while Tom Lin’s debut novel The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu, transforms the genre of the Western in a story of revenge for forced labor in the American railroad’s expansion.

FREE, $5-10 suggested donation (pre-registration required), more details at event website.

The Writer’s Center presents a FREE virtual chat about the craft of fiction! We’re joined by Tom Lin to discuss his debut novel, The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu. Tom is in conversation with Zach Powers, novelist and Director of Communications at The Writer’s Center.

Virtual format, free of charge, RSVP at event page.
