He is the critically acclaimed author of the supernatural/folklore novel, "Vampires of Portlandia" and the YA #ownvoices novel called "Love, Dance & Egg Rolls." Named as one of the "5 Best Modern Filipino Writers" by Pinas Global Newspaper, Tanamor enjoys writing in different genres. Jason Tanamor (tan-uh-more) is a Filipino-American writer and author. Jamie will not only come face-to-face with a bully, but also with this thing called cultural identity. Tensions will rise in Love, Dance & Egg Rolls as Jamie decides whether it's more important to remain hidden in plain sight or step directly into the spotlight.
With a racist bully at school and rising protests in Portland, Jamie sometimes wonders if it would be easier to forget his Filipino side entirely instead of trying to embrace it. He is forced to make an important decision between honoring his heritage and salvaging what's left of his social life. It's hard enough balancing the demands of high school, but when the last ever Asian Folk Festival falls on the same day as Homecoming, it feels like Jamie's world comes crashing down. Not to mention he also aspires to be the next Tinikling folk dance master. Jamie Santiago is just an ordinary high school teenager-he has a huge crush on a girl from school, he watches a ton of sitcoms, and he is constantly trying to keep his dad from feeding egg rolls to his white friends. When these two worlds collide, Jamie must decide who he truly wants to be. Filipino folk dancing is a huge part of Jamie's life, but so is high school and his two best friends.
