My book, THIS CITY IS A MINEFIELD, is coming out next week!

It’s been a while.

I haven’t posted anything on here for quite some time because I didn’t feel like I had anything to say, and anything I did have to say I just tweet. That and I guess this blog reminds me of certain people who are no longer in my life, and it makes me sad.

Anyway, a quick but exciting thing: the book that I’ve been trying to get published for so long is finally getting published. This City Is a Minefield is a collection of memoir and personal essays about growing up gay, Chinese, and Canadian in Vancouver; it’s being published by a small press called Signal 8 Press, and will be available online and in independent bookstores. It is currently already available as an eBook on Amazon; the print book will be released one week from today, on November 5th. If you buy it/have bought it, please consider leaving a review on Amazon or on Goodreads to help spread the word.

As you can imagine, I’ve been working at trying to get this published for many years. I probably ranted and posted about my progress on this blog, so to be so close to getting it release into the world for all to read and experience is wild. I really hope people read it as it means a lot to me, and I hope it means something to others as well.
