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…

It’s happening! VALENZIAGA will fall. Category is: Science-Fantasy EXTRAVAGANZA! Think Drag Race + a gay Game of Thrones + Chronicles of Amber. High drama & high CAMP! 200+ people already pledged to make this book happen! LATE PLEDGES STILL OPEN! #booksky www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

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

As an author, few things get me going as much as a reader messaging me a play-by-play of their reading reactions ☺️💜💚💙

Choose your top 25 favourite books. One per day for 25 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews. Day 1:

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

EVERY PRINTER IN EXISTENCE IS A HATEFUL ASS BITCH AND YOU CAN TELL THEM I SAID THAT

‘The Tides That Reign’ Kickstarter Wrap-up This past Friday, the Kickstarter campaign for the launch of my series, The Tides That Reign, wrapped up after raising an incredible $7,959! Including late pledges - which will remain open until the end of today, Tuesday, March 31st - that total has risen…

What's a little pre- birthday existential crisis among friends?

Kind of stunned that the Kickstarter alone made this my best sales year ever 🥺❤️ small numbers for some, but every step counts!

If you haven't supported yet, there are under 12 hours to go if you want some of those special tiers!!

We're in the final hours of this fabulously queer science-fantasy! Please support independent queer art. Trip is an incredible author. You won't want to miss this! #booksky

When did every company decide we had enough power bricks??

Queer South-East-Asian-inspired epic fantasy! 16 hours to go, and only 4 backers from 100? Can we get R.D. to 100 backers before the final whistle? Have a look if this sounds like your kinda read! Tyranny! Magic! Rebellion! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rdp...

What do i even post about when my Kickstarter is over? Lol kidding/not kidding

With one day left y'all have obliterated the fifth Stretch Goal! The audiobook for Design of Darkness is now available as an add-on! For the first time ever, immerse yourself in the sounds of The Tides That Reign as the narration guides you through the first installment of this epic saga! #booksky

This is the final week to get your hands on the special editions of these pretty books!! Here are just a few reasons to read The Tides That Reign. After Friday, March 27th at 9 am PST you'll have to stick with the crummy standard versions 😉 #booksky

Why do people insist on standing up against the pick up counter directly after ordering??

4th Stretch Goal SMASHED! We hit the second hardcover upgrade. That means every hardcover will now include sewn binding! Let's keep it going! If u like dark epic fantasies about overthrowing tyrants, with queer protagonists and South East Asian influences, then this is the saga for you! 🔗 in bio

The things we do for love (social media) 🩷 Thanks for helping my Kickstarter for The Tides That Reign queer, dark epic fantasy series hit $6k pledged! 🥹 We're reaching toward that Audiobook stretch goal! #booksky #gaaaaay

If this hits $6000 tomorrow, I swear I'll ribbon dance for y'all 🥺👉🏼👈🏼 #booksky

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime

Kickstarter Crosses the Halfway Point, Stretch Goal #3 Spring is in the air and so is the smell of Kickstarter fever. After launching on March 3rd, I'm happy to announce that the campaign for The Tides That Reign Special Authors Preferred Editions reached its initial funding goal of $3,000 in less…

Trying to decide how many books to bring to my first book fair. I don't want to run out but I also don't want to be left with a bajillion copies if nobody buys any 😬

I hate when an app has ads and they're just for the premium version of the app

Check out these awesome Kickstarters if you love to support indie authors!! books.bookfunnel.com/crowdfunder/...

STRETCH GOAL No. 2 NAILED! That's right, we've officially crossed the threshold for stretch goal 2, which means every hardcover edition will be upgraded with an attached ribbon bookmark. Thanks for getting my campaign past this milestone! On to the next one: audio commentary 👀 #booksky #lgbt

I know I'm headed back to the US because there's a man sitting at this gate with his phone in his hand, music playing out loud 😒

Twenty days remain to pledge The Tides That Reign campaign! You will not be disappointed with these covers on your shelf! Seafaring voyages, political intrigue, magical creatures, forbidden love, challenging tyranny, what's not to love? #booksky

It's hecking wimdy!!! The Tides That Reign is slowly closing in on the first Stretch Goal, which will be stickers included free with every physical copy!! So please, don't stop sharing! #fantasy #books #lgbtq #southeastasian

WE HIT THE FUNDING GOAL IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS! Thanks everyone who pledged! You are incredible! The campaign isn't finished though! Depending on how far we get over the next 24 days, we'll uncover book upgrades like sewn binding, ribbon bookmarks, stickers, & more! So please keep sharing!

A stellar writer you should all check out and support!! 😍

Had a blast chatting with @rdpires.bsky.social about our Kickstarters! It MAY get slightly unhinged in places. Have a look!

The Tides That Reign: Special Author Preferred Edition kickstarter campaign is now live! For fans of John Gwynne and ML Wang comes a dark tale of tyranny, rebellion, and magic with South East Asian Influences and queer romance! Back it now!

‘Tides That Reign’ Kickstarter Goes Live! Today is the big day! The Kickstarter for the 'The Tides That Reign' Author's Preferred Special Editions has officially gone live! This newsletter is coming at you a day early, but I would be remiss if I didn't celebrate launch day. And what a journey it's…

Weirdly antsy because I usually get to sit down and play Evanescence's "Good Enough" a few times the day before a major book event (like a Kickstarter launch!!) But it doesn't look like I'm going to get the opportunity today 😬

Vocal stim of the day comes from a woman at the playground: "I can't baby, mama's hands are full of croissants"

Across distant realms and storm lashed seas, The Tides That Reign chronicles an epic tale of rebellion, prophecy, and the dark price of power! Tomorrow, my dark epic fantasy is reborn. Thank u to everyone who has followed the pre-launch page! Im so excited to finally get this rebrand off the ground
