Secret Identities – You Are What You Eat

This is the third of 8 trailers for Secret Identities. The chapter is entitled “You Are What You Eat”, which can be found on Page 116 of SECRET IDENTITIES: The Asian American Superhero Anthology (in stores April 2009). The story follows a bulimic teenaged girl, Ting on her birthday. What she initially perceives as a “gift” from grandma to help with her eating disorder, in actuality begins to expose Ting towards discovering a healthy Yin/Yang balance of food — with surprising effects.

“Y.A.W.Y.E.” was written by Lynn Chen (“Saving Face”, “Lakeview Terrace”) – she also voices the character of “TING” and drawn by Paul Wei (maxwellwong.com) .

More about Peter Hong

Peter “King” Hong aka “Peter Rocks!” is a Los Angeles based musician, producer and engineer whose work with Homestyle, a live LA-based hip hop band, shot him unlikely acclaim in 1999 as he played keyboards and began to produce for local LA-based artists.
