Ep 105 Loveboat Taipei! Speaking with Author and Producer Abigail Wen!

We are speaking with Abigail Wen today.  She’s the author of the Loveboat, Taipei series.  Book 3 just came out last month, it’s called Loveboat, Forever!  It is based on Abigail and other’s experiences at the Taiwan Study Tour trip that many people took in the 80’s and 90’s. It's called the "Loveboat" because, while touted as a study tour, it's actually more like a 6 week party in Taipei!

Get any of Abigail's books wherever you get books. You can watch a film version of the first book, called Love in Taipei, now streaming on Paramount+ as well as AppleTV, Amazon, YouTube, etc...   

If you're near San Francisco, you can MEET Abigail on Sunday 12/10/23 at Book Passage in the Ferry Building starting at 11AM.  To find out more about Abigail and see other tour stops you can go to https://www.abigailhingwen.com/ or follow her on social media @abigailhingwen
