E.R. Escober

E.R. Escober worked as a copywriter before dedicating a significant amount of time and energy to launching a freelance writing career. He wrote several screenplays, a Filipino cookbook novel titled Not My Bowl of Rice, a parody of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code titled The Givenchy Code, and a story about a blogger/social media influencer who is also a psychic/medium titled The Facebook Nostradamus.

As a Filipino American, he has spent years exploring the intersection of corporate culture and cultural identity in contemporary America. He loves exploring authentic ethnic restaurants, experimenting with traditional Filipino and other Asian recipes, and listening to stories of Filipino Americans as they navigate their identities in modern America.

His return to the Philippines inspires Adobo in the Land of Milk and Honey after being away for what seemed like an eternity. His journey of reconnecting with Filipino culture and rediscovering his Filipino identity is vividly depicted in the novel, lending it an authentic and unique flavor.

Fun facts about the author: He is often mistaken for that famous DJ Steve Aoki, and his encounters and experiences with Aoki’s fans could make for an interesting tell-all book. Also, he never takes off his sunglasses, day and night, just like the Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
