Filipino Friday: Have you ever wanted to write a book?

Hey, guys, it's Friday again! And that means another Filipino Friday meme! Here's my take on week 2.

As a reader, have you ever thought about writing a book? What kind of books/stories do you want to write? Or are you now a published author, and what compelled you to go fulfill this dream? How was your journey from reader to writer? How did you go about getting your book out there?

Filipino Friday: Intro Post & New Discoveries

It's that time of the year again, folks! The Filipino Reader Con is happening again this November and I just know it's going to be even more awesome than last year's. And as per tradition, the weeks leading to the big day would include a weekly meme every Friday. Here's the first Filipino Friday meme for the week:

Surprise, Reader! Hello, it’s the first week of Filipino Fridays 2014! Whether it’s your first time to participate or not, tell us a bit about yourself. More specifically, tell us about your favorite book discoveries for this year. Any author you started reading this year that you can’t get enough of? A book you didn’t think you’d like, but you ended up liking/loving? Any book series that you just have to get your hands on? Have you discovered anything new from Filipino authors this year?

In Over Her Head Has Been Nominated!

Say what?

So…I got this nice surprise that In Over Her Head was nominated in the Romance in English category for the Filipino Readers' Choice Awards! To that person who nominated my work, I can't tell you how honored I am (and so grateful) that my book is part of the roster of equally-talented authors in the genre (#romanceclass peeps, yo!). Thank you so much! 

To vote, click on the FRCA online ballot link (Romance in English category is at page 3 page 2 of the ballot, methinks). You can also vote for your favorite Filipino books in the other 12 categories. Voting period is until September 10.
