Vanessa stopped by Confessions of an Indie Author to discuss her recent release, It Waits in the Dark.

“I grew up reading books that I rarely, if ever, saw myself represented in,” she says. “I never really thought much about it until I started writing books seeking publication and found a wonderful community of Filipino writers and readers throughout the process. Not only did I want to see characters like myself represented in stories, but also introduce readers to my culture and especially the food. I feel like no matter where you’re from there’s always a way to find connection through food.”
