About AABB - Apple An's Book Bytes
A Byte is a group of 8 Bits; a Bit is one binary digit, the smallest unit of information (in computer science).
A computer scientist in her previous life and a university professor in STEM fields for 30+ years, Apple started her literary journey in 2017, initially wanting to write for her children to understand their heritage. With the help from her writing instructors and peers, her writing goal has broadened to enrich Asian cultural heritage and history and to enhance cultural understanding and acceptance among all people.
Apple’s Books
Since 2023, Apple has published two historical novels, a memoir, and a self-help journal notebook. She has received multiple awards and recognition for her historical novels and her debut memoir. She also co-edited two volumes of the Voices Heard Anthology series. More of her books can be found at AppleAnBooks.com.
What to Expect from AABB Newsletters as a Free Subscriber
AABB has a main newsletter (events, news/updates, fun facts, etc.) and several sub-newsletters for posts related to specific books or topics: memoirs, historical novels, anthology, self-help, travelogues, etc.
You are automatically subscribed to AABB main newsletter and all the sub-newsletters. You can change your preferences by clicking the unsubscribe link and then selecting or de-selecting certain sub-newsletters.
I send out a main post once every several weeks in AABB’s main newsletter. Under a special situation, like the real-time travelogue of my 29 days of traveling in 5 (or 7) southwest states with a campervan, or when a new book, such as Mother of Red Mountains, is out and some backstories or excerpts might be posted more frequently about the book. Most of these more frequent posts are within the sub-newsletters for easy reference and retrieval later.
When a newsletter is posted, you will receive it in your email inbox. Please white list the sending address: appleanbooks@substack.com or check your social, spam or junk folders.
In case you want to read the newsletters on the AABB website or read past posts, podcasts, excerpts from my work-in-progress novels, photos from events, and other interesting stuff, you can click this button.
Keep up with Apple An’s books, events, news, readings, drafts and excerpts, and other fun stuff. (Travels? Tennis? Ballroom dancing? Organic gardening? But most likely, AABB will stick with topics related to books!)
