Hi, I'm Rod! I write Filipino and queer characters with extraordinary talents, geeky interests, and sometimes snarky mouths. I believe in kindness and never eating the last lumpia. People say I'm addicted to ube, but that's not accurate, and frankly, I'm offended by the accusation. I'm obsessed with ube, not addicted. *cough* Anyhoo, I hope you pick up my debut YA, CHASING PACQUIAO, coming out on May 2, 2023. You can follow me on Instagram and Twitter @rodapulido. Salamat!
