One Book, One Coast kicks off its first ever event with They Called Us Enemy. It will be featured in 140+ library systems in Oregon, Washington, and California. What an honor!


This is the notice that went out when we sold our two-book series to Chronicle. So exciting! Savvy viewers will realize the titles and scope have changed. Ha! That’s publishing.

“Star Trek” icon George Takei’s new book has a local connection.
Akron graphic novelist Justin Eisinger has teamed up once again with the actor, author and social activist on “It Rhymes with Takei,” released June 10.
Their first book, “They Called Us Enemy,” the bestselling memoir of Takei’s childhood imprisonment in a Japanese internment camp during World War II, won the 2020 Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work.
This new graphic novel shares a more personal story about his life — and it rhymes with Takei.
I was very pleased to get this front page placement in our hometown paper to celebrate the release of It Rhymes With Takei! All of my parent’s friends saw it, and I know that made them happy.
