Author Bio
Ashley Granillo is a Mexican American writer and an associate professor of English in Los Angeles, California. She holds an MFA in fiction from the University of California Riverside, Palm Desert. She got her start as a writer at age five when she illustrated and “published” her first book through Telfair Elementary's Student Author Project in Pacoima, California.
When she isn’t writing, Ashley is singing, playing piano, and spending time with her family—which sometimes means making tortillas with them. Hers are never round!
