Martin Lastrapes
His debut novel, Inside the Outside, has been praised by readers and critics alike and in the spring of 2012 it won the Grand Prize in the Paris Book Festival. Since publishing his novel, Martin has been invited to speak all over Southern California, from high schools and universities to libraries and federal prisons. He grew up in the Inland Empire, an eclectic region of Southern California that birthed the Hell’s Angels, housed the first McDonald’s restaurant, and is one of the foremost manufacturers and suppliers of crystal meth. He spent the great majority of his childhood watching professional wrestling and reading comic books, cultivating dreams of being Hulk Hogan and Batman (whichever came first). Martin has a Bachelor’s Degree in English and a Master’s Degree in Composition, both from California State University, San Bernardino. |
