Suspense author Tori Eldridge making appearance at Cerritos Library

CERRITOS — Meet suspense writer Tori Eldridge at 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 16, in the Cerritos Library’s Skyline Room.

Eldridge will discuss her latest book, “The Ninja Daughter,” an action-packed thriller about a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja with “Joy Luck Club” family issues who fights the Los Angeles Ukrainian mob, sex traffickers and her own family to save two desperate women and an innocent child. The book was inspired by her short story, “Call Me Dumpling,” which was featured in “Suspense Magazine.”

A Honolulu-born mystery-action writer, Eldridge is a fifth-degree black-belt in To-Shin Do Ninjutsu who has traveled the United States giving seminars on the ninja arts, weapons and women’s self-protection. She is also an actress, singer and dancer.
