A beta reader wrote "I don't know this word" in the margins of my latest ms. Girl, what do you want me to do about it? Look it up 😭

Sailing into ‘Before the Ghost Sea,’ a conversation with Rebecca Robinson Heyo! The season of Before the Ghost Sea is officially upon us as the third book in The Tides That Reign released on June 12th. To celebrate the penultimate entry, I sat down with Rebecca Robinson - author of the incredible…

Oooh ooh ooh! Me next!

I feel sorry for my mans because the grocery store cashier carded me today and told me I looked like a literal baby and now I'm going to be insufferable about it for a week and a half

An interesting problem I'm running into by running a giveaway based on post interactions is that I think people don't read the posts before "liking" so when they win, they think I'm spam because they don't realize they entered a giveaway 😅 It's happened 3x now

Marking the end of #AAPIHeritageMonth with a lengthy review saying I disrespected my own cultural heritage in my fantasy series. So there's that 🙃

My husband in the other room making himself oatmeal: "Is dada about to get crazy? Is he about to zest an orange?"

It's always so humorous to me when I'm in a conversation where someone needs to refer to my husband, stumbles over the word, and settles on something needlessly awkward instead. Today, the person landed on calling him my "buddy" 😂

Sunday, May 31st find me at BOOTH 209 at the Bay Area Book Fest in Downtown Berkeley! Stop by and say hi! I'll be hanging out with all my books 😁📚 The Bookworm Block Party runs from 11a to 5p! #BABF2026 #BookwormBlockParty #indieauthor #AsianFantasy #LGBTQBooks #booksky

Ready for the "slowed and reverbed old song" movie trailer trend to die out so we can return to the "epic voiceover"

The grip that the 'Die With A Smile (Requiem Version)' has me in This is the definitive version for me

Not Regal trying to charge me $10 for a small fountain soda??? You can fuck all the way off 😂

It's driving me bonkers that somebody on Kindle Unlimited read 85% of book two in my series and just hasn't returned to finish it in over a week!?!?

Hot dog, egg, and rice for breakfast because it's #AAPIHeritageMonth 🍳

AAPI Heritage Month Check-In Heyo! May is well underway, which means we're in the heart of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. You may not have noticed since I've been so subtle about it, but the world of The Tides That Reign is heavily influenced by East and Southeast Asia. Not…

Now how come there's always some random sharp piece of fucking shit on the ground that has somehow evaded 79 years of vacuuming and sweeping etc. just to stab me in the foot on this day?

FYI The giant sea serpents in my epic fantasy series, The Tides That Reign, were inspired by the bakunawa of Philippine mythology, who was said to swallow the moon and cause the eclipse! #aapiheritagemonth #booksky

Never thought about this until I started learning Japanese, but holy scripty fonts are maddening

Idk "girl dad" and "boy mom" just read as genderqueer to me

One of my favorite stupid little inside jokes with my mans is that he'll say "I'll be back" like Arnie S and I respond "And I'll be Beethoven!"

Some of y'all need to worry less about "looksmaxxing" and more about booksmaxxing

Love waking up to find out my entire KDP account has been shut down because A*azon doesn't believe I have the rights to publish my own book. 🙃 No prior warnings to be seen even though they claim they were sent either
