About this ebook

In this playful collection of ten short stories and one short novella, Roxanna stretches the boundaries of book genre to explore facets of joy, love, and the meaning of cultural identity in a globalized world. The book has a girl born in a small town in Puerto Rico and a girl born on the moon; international whirlwind romance, the infamous Chupacabras, a radio show dedicated to paranormal phenomena, and people distracted by smartphones in unexpected ways. Incisive and often hilarious, these stories are a form of gentle satire served with a generous dollop of loving-kindness.

Roxanna Piedrafuette

Roxanna Piedrafuette is a scientist-turned-writer, born and raised in the enchanted Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. Due to the vagaries of destiny, she has lived in six different countries on three continents, which has given her a confusing but wondrous worldview that she is still trying to sort out. Nowadays, she lives in Qatar with her awesome husband and an utterly presumptuous but adorable cat. Lizard-Monkeys and Other Stories is her first fiction publication.
