Jessica Zafra is a columnist for the
Philippines'
Today newspaper. Her
quirky humor and obvious
intelligence has brought her a lot of fans and admirers.
She has published numerous compilations of her columns, a collection of short stories entitled Manananggal Terrorizes Manila and Other Stories, and a small "advice" book entitled Chicken Pox for the Soul.
An extremely talented, if undisciplined writer, I believe she can rise to even greater literary heights if she could break free of her middle class complacency.
Jessica has a website at http://www.twisted.com.ph/ it does not do justice to her.
