ONLY UNI BLOG TOUR and DOUBLE DRAWING!

Hey all! I am as pleased as winter snap peas dipped in Wasabi to introduce my good friend and FABU author Camy Tang...and an interview with grandma Sakai from Camy's Sushi Series!

Everything you always wanted to know about an Asian grandma but were afraid to ask

Camy: Today we’re interviewing Chieko Sakai, who has starred in two of my books, SUSHI FOR ONE and ONLY UNI. Readers probably know her as Grandma Sakai. How are you today, Grandma?

Grandma Sakai: Fine, thank you. I appreciate you having me here today.

Camy: Anytime, Grandma. Now, our readers want to know how you feel about Lex’s new boyfriend Aiden.

Grandma Sakai: I’m very happy for Lex. Aiden is a nice boy. Steady job, good income.

Camy: How about the fact he’s not Asian?

Grandma Sakai: I am perfectly happy with her choice of significant other, regardless of ethnicity. Although I don’t quite understand why she couldn’t be happy with a nice Japanese boy.

Camy: How are things with you and Trish?

Grandma Sakai: Things are perfectly fine.

Camy: Uh ... they are?

Grandma Sakai: Of course. Trish is my favorite granddaughter.

Camy: Didn’t you tell that to Mimi at the last family gather—

Grandma Sakai: Trish is the only granddaughter who speaks Japanese. I’m very proud of her initiative to keep in touch with her heritage.

Camy: She doesn’t seem to like one particular Japanese boy too much. Not that in touch with her heritage, is she?

Grandma Sakai: She just needs to understand how perfect Kazuo is for her, that’s all. She’ll realize it eventually. Trish is a smart girl.

Camy: What if she doesn’t come around?

Grandma Sakai: (Huffily) Trish has always understood what’s expected of her from her family. She wouldn’t want to disappoint Grandma, now would she? Grandma’s good opinion is very important to her.

Camy: Grandma, you’re talking in third person again—

Grandma Sakai: Grandma would be extremely irritated if she didn’t oblige her family with a good match to a good Japanese boy like Kazuo.

Camy: But what if Trish doesn’t want—

Grandma Sakai: In fact, Grandma might resort to other measures if Trish did something to displease Grandma.

Camy: Hooboy, interview’s over. Thanks for being here, Grandma. (hissing) (You’re doing an interview! You can’t make threats on a blog!)

Grandma Sakai: (Well, you started it. If you’d just write the book differently—)

Camy: (We’ll discuss this later.) Thanks for having us here, Cheryl!
