These two ladies from Jacaranda are hands-on and pretty sweet. They were the ones who signed FH Batacan for her next novel. They like crime/suspense/adventure thrillers but they’ll read anything.

You can also send your other obras to the dude who found and edited “House of Sand and Fog” (yes it’s a book where that movie with the same title starring Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly is based, excellent depressing stuff):

Ravi Mirchandani

Editor-In-Chief

Ravi’s inclined towards immigrant stories but he also reads everything. And yes, he passed on Miguel “Chuck” Syjuco’s Masturbatory Illustrado.

Onto the Next Great Philippine Novel Without The Writer/Artist/Musician As The Protagonist!

And this portion is brought to you by The Caring Is Sharing Bears and especially dedicated to Katrina Stuart Santiago and all the those who would have wanted to attend the Great Philippine Book Café (Manila International Literary Festival) but could not afford the 2000/3days php package.

And especially to all the Filipino writers who did not get the endorsements from the Filipino literary /publishing (Grand)Papas and (Grand)Mamas therefore did not get to meet/greet the folks above.

And to those who did: BAT AYAW NIYONG MAG-SHARE NG INFO? AYSUS! SO SELF-NAMAN YOU!

[Better late than never, ano ba chica, I have a life and I didn’t move to facebook, so Merry Patawad!]
