Check out the Audrey and Dre mobisode!

is in big-time awe of the newest sensation on YouTube titled “Audrey and Dre” ( see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFXXWXTFmgU This vid struck a responsive chord with me: good to see an Asian man who can dance, has a baaad walk, and more than talks his walk for Black women attraction. Also, good to see a Black woman sh…owing same love for Asian men. What do friends think? Did you know of this vid? Do you know what a mobisode is?

Many thanks and kudos to Kelley Co. Productions for seeing BlAsian!

Cruisin’ J-Town!

Right now, I am enjoying my stay with wifey in the
Miyako hotel in L.A.’s Little Tokyo section. It is such
a plush place: we were surprised that the bathroom
had this state-of-the-art type of toilet – called the
Home Tech HI-3001 – that’s right one of those types
that has a “washlet” bidet on it (read: washes your
derriere) that was ballyhooed on “The View”
recently. More hedonistic endeavors have included:
dining and lunching at this so veg-friendly restaurant
called The Shojin yesterday, it is at 333 S.Alameda
three or four blocks from where we’re staying and
I believe their web URL is TheShojin.com
[more details on the menu and what we ate later]
also so far only one dog sited. We feel fortunate we
found Shojin and also this market called Nijiya a
block away (Nijiya.com) which is also veg-friendly.
As I’ve mentioned, I’m here to be on an interracial
relationships panel at the Mixed Roots Film & Lit
Festival June 12. More updates soon.

Thanks to the Fremont Writers Club!

Many thanks and kudos to the Fremont Writers Club, especially Bob Garfinkle and Jeannine Vegh for having me as a guest yesterday afternoon. I spoke on the subject of “Finding creativity as a writer when everything seems new” and used the development of my fiction work, “BlAsian Exchanges, a novel” as an example of how I put developed the plot of my story and promoted my book through use of virtual applications like Facebook, Googlemail, Yahoo! discussion groups, blogs, Twitter, MySpace, et al. I also shared my story of why I decided to use fiction to tell the story of my novel as a way of working out my own career frustrations as a writer of nonfiction articles on social issues. The discussion drew a lot of questions and exchanges about the above topics and member shared with me their experiences as I shared mine.  This was one of the more receptive groups to my presentation of the book and I am definitely going to join this cool group and hope to present my future books to the group as well. Ciao!

What is happening with me . . .

I have recently concluded my negotiations with Parker Publishing (see Parker-Publishing.com) to publish my previously self-published fiction work “BlAsian Exchanges, a novel” and am happy to announce that I will soon be signing a contract to that effect very soon. The deal will involve PP publishing BlAsian Exchanges as an e-book, a paperback and a hardcover. In case you didn’t know, Parker Publishing is a publisher of interracial fiction and is the first publisher ever to create an imprint that specifically involves BlAsian relationships.  So I feel very honored to know that PP has even considered to take me on as one of their writers. More on this story as it develops!
