Finally, after two years of virtual-only events, #RomanceClass is doing #FeelsFest2022 LIVE!
Yes, my friends—we are back doing live events, which means we will all be causing bookish chaos once again (lol)! This year’s Feels Fest will be on Saturday, October 22 at Ayala Malls the 30th from 1:00 – 6:00 pm. It’s a FREE event and everyone’s invite to come and celebrate kilig with us!
By the way, there’s an optional dress code: Come as your favorite bookish love interest, or an interpretation of your ideal type.
Our only requirements: Please don’t forget to wear your masks and have fun!
As restrictions ease around the world, many in-person events have also returned, and one of these is the annual Manila International Book Fair or MIBF! Woohoo!
Although I’m a little put off by crowds by default (and even more so now because of the COVID-19 pandemic), I’ve been an avid MIBF goer since I started self-publishing in 2015. Sometimes I buy a bunch of books and stationery, and sometimes I come just home carrying the fun conversations I’ve had with fellow authors. Either way, I enjoy just being part of the experience, and I’m so glad I’ll be able to do that again this week!
Yes, folks~ I will be at #MIBF2022 representing #romanceclass as an author and reader. I have four books available at the venue:
Well, what do you know ~ three of my books have been nominated for Filipino Reader’s Choice Awards 2022! This is the first FRCA in seven years, so you can imagine how very tough the competition might be. To be named as a nominee alongside friends and fellow #romanceclass authors feels so good, though!
Here are my nominated books!
Newly reinstated EG Project roadie Filipina Legaspi flies with her band back to the Philippines for Summer Crush, unaware of the emotional waves that engulf her when she sets foot in the beaches of San Juan, La Union.
This story first appeared in a three-part anthology called Summer Crush, which I co-wrote with Six de los Reyes and Jay E. Tria. In the Backstage Pass Series reading order, this comes third (Scandalized and Gabriel’s Checklist are #1 and #2, respectively). The happenings in this short story precede Play It By Ear, which came out in 2019.
