*Hi friends! I'm not often on Goodreads so if you want to keep up with me, the best place to do so is on instagram! I'm at elloecho!

Ellen Oh is a former adjunct college instructor and lawyer with an insatiable curiosity for ancient Asian history. She loves K-pop, K-dramas, and eating good food that someone else cooks for her. She is fueled by Diet Coke. Ellen is a founding member of We Need Diverse Books (WNDB), a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing diversity in children’s literature. Originally from New York City, Ellen lives in Rockville, Maryland, with her husband, three children, two dogs, and has yet to satisfy her quest for a decent bagel.

The House Next Door Book Launch

The House Next Door launch events were lovely! I spoke at People’s Book in Takoma Park, MD with my amazing daughter Skye and many of her students came to see us both! It was a fantastic event!

And we had another book launch at Barnes and Nobles Fairfax in VA with the awesome Caroline Pritchard Kusin where we had the best conversation and lovely attendees!

And a big shout out to CLE READS

Quotes by Ellen Oh  (?)

“If I can believe believe that the heavens have blessed me with a tiger-spirited daughter, then how can I doubt the existence of a Dragon Musado?" he said.

Kira didn't know how to react to her father's words.

"I believe that one person can change the world. Whether he is the Musado or a girl with a tiger spirit. The monks teach that we mere mortals cannot question fate. But I say that we control destiny by our every action. Our power lies in the choices we make." Her father placed his warm hand on her cheek. "In the choices you make. Remember, stay true to yourself and do what your heart tells you is right, and not what is easy.”
Ellen Oh, Prophecy

“I am left with pieces of remembering though I loved him whole.”
Ellen Oh, A Thousand Beginnings and Endings

“Your differences are what make you unique. They're what make you special. You have nothing in common with these ignorant retches who thrive on superstition and fear. You were meant for greatness.”
Ellen Oh, Prophecy
