There's a new behind the scenes video for my Audible Original, The Golden Orchard! It shows the narrator, Kathleen Choe reading my book and the preparation of some gimbap. It can be viewed on the Audible page for my book. * #thegoldenorchard #korean #audible #audibleoriginal #audiobook #floraahn #familyandfood #childrensbook #middlegrade #middlegradefantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PezcFle08/?igshid=1fidx250ep5e1

Just a reminder that my Audible Original, The Golden Orchard, is available on Audible & Amazon! * There's been a lot of discussion about diversity in publishing. My own experience was that there was some interest in pushing me towards doing just dramatic Korean family relationships, but I really wanted to write fantasy & time travel too. I just wanted the Korean aspects to be a part of my book. Luckily I have an awesome agent & editor who completely understood what I wanted to do & supported me. So write the book you want to write! * Would love for comments to include recommendations for awesome diverse fantasy/science fiction recs! * #thegoldenorchard #korean #audible #audibleoriginal #audiobook #floraahn #familyandfood https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yiIB5FVi7/?igshid=1pg7t0mkw3pca

My Audible Original audiobook is available for pre-order right now & will be released on 1/23/20! This is esp meaningful for me as my dad helped with stories from his childhood before he passed away in 2018. * Maya loves to cook with her grandmother - her Halmunee - to connect with the rich family history associated with each dish, a history Maya's mom would prefer stayed in the past. While cooking with Halmunee, something remarkable happens - the food creates such a strong memory that Maya and Halmunee are transported back in time through the memory itself. Halmunee explains that the women in her family have the gift of time travel through food and Maya can do it too, if she practices. While eating her way through the past, Maya meets Jeff: another young time traveler who brings her to the Golden Orchard, a garden of memories filled with the trees of so many people's lives. Maya learns that time moves in ways she couldn't imagine and sometimes family keep their memories secret to protect the ones they love. * I hope that you'll give this a listen & enjoy my book. And don't worry, there's a pug in it too! * #floraahn #audibleoriginal #audiobook #audible #thegoldenorchard #korean #koreanfood #koreanfamily #igreads #igbooks #instagrambooks #instagramreads https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KJ21Ol8fU/?igshid=1omnb9dvxbj5t
