…is when I do a book tour for my unpublished novel until everyone is speculating when my new fiction will be published. My book tour begins in October. First stop: Fil-Am Book Festival in San Francisco.

I’m giving a presentation on the archival research that went into The Rizal Dance Hall Murder at the Learning Studio, 5th floor San Francisco Public Library, on Saturday afternoon October 7, from 12:15 – 1:15.

Professor Linda Maram will present a more scholarly perspective on the topic. Her marvelous book Creating Masculinity in Los Angeles’s Little Manila provided much of the historical details I employed in my novel about California’s working class Filipinos in the 1930s.
