Pictured above is the Australian cover of Love and Other Rituals, my debut collection of short stories about Filipinos at home, in the US and in Aotearoa New Zealand. It's been a rough and oftentimes disenchanting road to publication that began in 2016, and ended in early 2021 when Katherine Day and Sybil Nolan of the University of Melbourne's Grattan Street Press picked it out from the slush and connected with it beautifully. Born in the Philippines, raised in Texas, completed in New Zealand, and released into the world from Australia, I am proud to share this labor of love that was nurtured in different places. More about it here.
