Many thanks to Ana Campos, Acting Principal Librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library for hosting a virtual program, A CONVERSATION WITH AUTHOR CECILIA MANGUERRA BRAINARD: SELECTED SHORT STORIES. Writer, Actor, and Buddhist pastor Noel Alumit was the interviewer/facilitator.
This was aired yesterday on the LAPL.org's Facebook and YouTube sites.

Noel had sent me some questions before the program, and while the actual one-hour interview covered more topics than just these questions, I'm sharing my notes to answer his questions. The taped interview is much richer and more detailed, so do try to view that one.
