Hi, I’m Vanessa Hua, NEA Literature Fellow, author of A River of Stars and Deceit and Other Possibilities. My next novel Forbidden City comes out next Spring and I’m really hoping I can meet readers at events again. The isolation of these many months has reminded us of how precious these moments are. That’s why I’m vaccinated to protect myself, my family, and my community. Please, get vaccinated too so that people can connect once again!
