I’ve been writing since 2015 and have won several awards for unpublished authors, most notably the 2018 Eleanor Taylor Bland Crime Fiction Writers of Color Award.
The road to publication is twisty at best–tell us about some of your twists.
Her debut novel, ARSENIC AND ADOBO, came out with Berkley/Penguin Random House and is the first in the Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery series.įind her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram She’s also a 2017 Pitch Wars alum and 2018-2020 mentor.Ī lover of all things geeky, Mia spends her days procrastibaking, playing JRPGs and dating sims, reading cozy mysteries, and cuddling her dogs Gumiho, Max Power, and Bayley Banks (bonus points if you get all the references). Deeck – Malice Domestic Grant for Unpublished Writers, and the 2016 Mystery Writers of America/Helen McCloy Scholarship. She is the winner of the 2018 Hugh Holton Award, the 2018 Eleanor Taylor Bland Crime Fiction Writers of Color Award, the 2017 William F. She uses humor (and murder) to explore aspects of the Filipino diaspora, queerness, and her millennial love for pop culture. Manansala (MAH-nahn-sah-lah) (she/her) is a writer and book coach from Chicago who loves books, baking, and bad-ass women. Booklist gave it a starred reviewing, saying, “Along with Lila’s funny and feisty voice, there is a lot to love here: complex clues, mouthwatering food descriptions, and a diverse cast of characters.” And there’s a dachshund on the cover! If you know Lyn, you know she’s a die-hard dachshund person so having Mia here is a no-brainer. If you’re not craving Filipino food as you read the book, then you’re not getting the full experience. We are so excited to have Mia here because her debut, Arsenic and Adobo is not only about solving a mystery, but has the most delicious Filipino food descriptions ever. Manansala, a fellow Berkley author of Deb Lyn Liao Butler.
