[CW-Grad] Short story writer, Lysley Tenorio reads from MONSTRESS

[Rachelle Cruz]

Hi everyone,

Lysley Tenorio, an awesome short story writer, is coming to Southern
California to read and promote from this new book, MONSTRESS.

I've just had him on my podcast, and his work is honest, humorous and
compelling.  The Beatles and Imelda Marcos make an appearance in his
collection.

Please read below for more information on dates and locations.

I'm going to the Skylight one; let me know if you are interested in
caravaning from Riverside!

Best,
Rachelle
