Book Launch Brainard's Magdalena and Other Titles University of Santo Tomas Publishing House

Here's a picture of Ralph Semino Galan accepting a copy of my novel, Magdalena, at the book launch last April at the University of Santo Tomas Publishing House. He is flanked by Ailil Alvarez and my publisher, Jack Wigley. I couldn't attend but was delighted Ralph could be there on my behalf. Here are some pictures at the event.
