Wow, what a treat it was to listen to author, Amy Tan, discuss her nonfiction book titled, The Backyard Bird Chronicles during
Alta Journal's monthly live California Book Club event!!
Something like 1800+ people from around the globe showed
up for this virtual author event!!
Apparently, The Backyard Bird Chronicles was never originally supposed to be published... Amy Tan's was behind on a novel she was writing, so her editor (or was it her publisher?) wanted to see her birding journals... From there, it was decided her birding journals should be published and the rest is history.
During the live event, the audience sees Amy Tan sitting in her rooftop garden in Sausalito, California which is where she started her birdwatching and journaling in 2016. It was cool to view where Ms. Tan began her birdwatching adventure. See the below photo.
I now want to read The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan and have added it to my ever growing reading wishlist!
Do you enjoy attending author events/signings in-person or virtually?
Have you attended any author events/signings recently?
