ALTERNATIVE ALAMAT Book Launch: July 25, 2014
(Contains “BALAT, BUWAN, NGALAN”)

So apparently, the date is sealed: July 25, Friday, 4PM: the launch of the "Expanded Print Edition" of Alternative Alamat--an anthology of short fiction that repurposes Filipino myths and legends into modern, 21^st century configurations--as well as 3 other new titles from Visprint.

Contained in AA is my contribution, “Balat, Buwan, Ngalan (A Myth for the 21^st Century),” which has very solid connections to all the work going on in the ‘Verse comic book titles, as well as my novella Parman (also from Visprint).

If you’re following the ‘Verse, or have read Parman (or both), you may want to check my AA contribution.

ALTERNATIVE ALAMAT Interview
(Re: “BALAT, BUWAN, NGALAN”)

While we wait for the Alternative Alamat "Expanded Print Edition" book launch--at the moment still re-scheduled for July 25, Friday, at Powerbooks, Greenbelt--AA editor Paolo Chikiamco has posted an interview with yours truly here (at rocketkapre.com), where he asks me about my AA contribution, “Balat, Buwan, Ngalan (A Myth for the 21^st Century).”

The story's got some very solid connections to all the work going on in the ‘Verse comic book titles, as well as my novella Parman.

If you’re following the ‘Verse, or have read Parman (or both), you may want to check my AA contribution; to give you a better idea of what it's all about, check the rocketkapre interview.

ALTERNATIVE ALAMAT Book Launch POSTPONED

Due to the approaching low pressure area (aka "Henry"), the Alternative Alamat book launch (which I mentioned here) is being postponed.
At the moment, the tentative date is July 25, Friday.
I'll put up another post here as soon as there's confirmation on the new date...

ALTERNATIVE ALAMAT Book Launch
(Contains “BALAT, BUWAN, NGALAN”)

So, while Alternative Alamat--an anthology of short fiction that repurposes Filipino myths and legends into modern, 21^st century configurations--has been available in ebook format since December 2011, it’s only now finally coalescing into an “Expanded Print Edition” via Visprint.

I’ve been informed by editor Paolo Chikiamco that AA launches (alongside 3 other new Visprint titles) on July 19, Saturday, at Powerbooks, Greenbelt.

The entire event is scheduled from 11AM to 6PM, with the AA hour slotted for 3PM to 4PM.

At the moment though, I can’t say with 100% certainty that I’ll be present, but regardless, please feel free to attend, and if you haven’t encountered AA in its ebook iteration, then you can grab a dead trees copy of it.
