Overview

Veronica grew up with a strong sense of assuredness. She has family and belief that shields her from whatever evil that might harm her. She grew up with that strong foundation that transforms her into the bedrock other people depend on. Her house is that one refuge people go to in times of their need. It is where people seek succor, redemption and rest. Events turn against her. The maladies invade her home. Will there be solutions to these issues? Will the world be as they are - evil? Or is redemption an acceptance of what is...that all there is, is a natural flow to life? "Pretty and Nowhere to Go" is an essay of life. It is a story that finds no escape for Veronica, for in this world it is not fighting those we cannot win, but accepting what Life hands down.

About the Author, Paul Cuenco

Paul was born in Manila, Philippines to Filipino parents. He attended catholic schools including the prestigious Ateneo de Manila University. While attending the Ateneo, he curtailed his studies and went to attend the University of San Francisco, instead. When he was 17, he migrated to the United States, first Chicago and then the Bay Area. Currently, he lives in Portland, Oregon.

Paul had written several novels, including poetry and essays. Only in 2010, after working in sales for 20 years, did he decide to publish them. The first was "Pretty and Nowhere to Go" and then came "A Cottage in Another Country", "Deconstructing Connor" and "Poetry in America".

He develops a style all to his own. Writers observe and study their world and writes about them. Paul canvasses his world and translates them into stories. He writes with a scintillating flair. After reading his novels, his readers will feel a sense of catharsis that all are bound to be what it ought to be.
