The thriller from Manila, Ronna Grace Funtelar is a graphic designer and dancer living in Whakatāne. She describes her writing as those hard conversations we don’t know how to start, pieced together with metaphors and hip-hop inspired rhythm. Sometimes she just misses romance and writes about that too. She published her book, Stuck: Friends, Lovers and the Obscurity of In Between in 2017 and is currently writing her second.
 
You can follow her life adventures at fivefootronna.com
