…the second book in the Tales of Angaride series—and my second published novel entirely—Before the Lotus Blooms is published and available to read and purchase!

…after much debate within my own head, I have officially set up an online store where you can purchase paperback copies of my books from me directly!

…The new year is finally here, and who knew so much could happen in just eleven days?

…I mentioned I’d begun drafting the third installment of Tales of Angaride. While this statement still rings true, there has been a bit of a change.

…I still intend to make use of what little remains, however, with a tight schedule to hopefully have more than just one book releasing in 2026.

…while I am especially excited to finally share Jaeyun and Yuzeharu’s tale with someone other than myself, I’m equally as nervous.

…That being the case, I have made the difficult decision to postpone the release date of Before the Lotus Blooms. 

…I’ve learned you cannot underestimate humanity’s desire for free things. Or maybe it’s the economy, who knows.

Before the Lotus Blooms promises unlikely friendship, heart-wrenching romance, and intense political intrigue.

…where there’s a ‘book one’, a book two will certainly follow.

…the new cover really embodies the vibe of the book, and I think has a very magical feeling element to it. It feels warm and bright, and sets the expectation for a story that matches.

…as 2024 is winding down, I didn’t want to let the year pass by without making some very exciting announcements featuring important updates and future goodness that is yet to come.
