Ashley Wren Collins (C’98, Bloomers, Penn Players) is not only a talented actress who can awesomely teach you how to unleash your inner skank, but this Penn alum is also an author whose new book will bring out the cheap bastard in you.

After the jump learn more about her book and about all the LA places where you can save money …and find out where you can see Ashley promoting her book next week in LA!

Plus, be entered to win a copy of her book just by clicking the facebook “like” button below and/or tweet about it with hashtag “#ashleypennbook”!

Per Ashley,

“The Cheap Bastard’s Guide to Los Angeles is a book that is part of a popular travel series, but is unique in that it is written for both natives and visitors to Los Angeles. And in this day and age (meaning in this economy), we all need to be live smart and be cheap bastards! 🙂 I love LA and have spent quite a bit of time there. When I was hired, the opportunity to write a guide book with a sense of humor all about the City of Angels was too good to turn down! LA has so many free and inexpensive ways to enjoy it.”

The Cheap Bastard’s Guide to Los Angeles will show you:

Live tapings of your favorite TV comedy stars, talk show hosts, or game shows
Entrance to screenings at film fests, plays, movies, concerts, and comedy clubs
Museums, zoos, pools, and other great places for family fun
Classes of all sorts, including dancing, arts & crafts, and yoga
Happy hours and meals, whether fish tacos or fried chicken, sushi or Korean barbecue
Haircuts, facials, makeovers, or massages

Sunday night, 10/9, 4 pm at Book Soup
Tuesday, 10/11 , 7 pm at Barnes and Noble Pico Westwood
