Claire and I are like two excited raccoons in trenchcoats that Tiger Girls has been picked by @kcomicsbeat.bsky.social & @comicsbeat.bsky.social as one of the best webcomics in 2025! Thank you sm! ✨💜✨ Stay tuned for news of the intl. print edition w/more content by @madcavestudios.com in 2026!

When an unethical galactic corporation rediscovers the forgotten science to create shapeshifting battle-ready alebrijes, a scrappy girl, an ex-mercenary’s son, & a royal dragon heir reluctantly befriend a runaway alebrije—the Cicatriz—& find family while fighting to save their lives. #DVPit #MG #SFF

Loopy feels everything is her responsibility, Pedro feels everything is his fault, & Ao Shen, who has everything, just feels bored. Their lives collide when they inadvertently rescue the Cicatriz—a scarred young girl who turns out to be an escaped shapeshifting galactic weapon of war #DVPit #MG #SFF

A Mexican x Chinese inspired 🚀adventure where three lonely children must fight a ruthless bounty hunter, outsmart a galactic corporation, and stop squabbling in time to save the Cicatriz, a shapeshifting, sentient weapon disguised as a young girl—all before their parents find out. #DVPit #MG #SFF

Adan and I are going to take turns to share about the new book we’re co-writing!

Just 3 days until #DVpit on October 8th, 2025--a pitch event for unagented marginalized writers & artists seeking out representation! Here's our guide about what to do during the pitch event! dvpit.carrd.co#during So excited for all the amazing talent we'll see! #writersky #booksky #artistsky

It’s my first full night of the @tinhouse.bsky.social Autumn SFF online workshop! ☕️🍵🧋Will I still be alive at 7am SGT? :p

Hello! I co-write a MG mystery series, Sherlock Sam, with @thecomicaztec.bsky.social. I’m also the writer of a YA fantasy comic, Tiger Girls, drawn by Claire Low. Adan and I are working on a new upper MG light sci-fi and I’m working on a SEA-inspired fantasy-horror. Nice meet you! #writersky

There’s a story behind every story and there’s a little bit of us in everything we write. Check out the notes for Sherlock Sam’s Orange Shorts: The Second Pair and learn how our weird brains get inspired :p @thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I hope you enjoy reading our books! 💜 Art by Drewscape ✨

I honestly forgot I had this account. Reading an ARC of @wenyilee.bsky.social’s adult sapphic Southeast Asian fantasy that’s filled with fire and longing. And butterflies. #felireads #booksky #reading #books

Middlegrade stories have changed so much in the last few years. What are some of your favourite? #booksky #kidlit #middlegradebooks #MGbooks

When the marketing and design teams at @differenceenginesg.bsky.social make me want to preorder my own book :p Tiger Girls art by Claire Low! differenceengine.sg/comics/tiger...

Preorders for Tiger Girls illustrated by Claire Low & written by me has started! The print book collects the webcomic adaptation with an additional short story & bonus content. Orders come with a free keychain! ✨ differenceengine.sg/comics/tiger... #webcomic #comics #graphicnovels #manga #booksky

I’m so in for Kian’s Bizarre B&B #BTS #Jin #BTSArmy

Signing preorders today! I was so jet lagged I couldn’t string together coherent sentences to write 😅 After a bit, @thecomicaztec.bsky.social banned me from writing anything other than my signature. I might have misspelled my name 😬 #kidlit #booksky #writersky

@thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I had our first book event for Sherlock Sam’s Orange Shorts: The Second Pair at Popular Bookstore in SG! It was so fun to meet fans and new readers of the series (some kids knew more about the books than we did lol). Thank you so much, everyone! 💜 #kidlit #booksky

The best kind of middle-grade books privileges the reading experience of children but also has layers and depth such that readers of all ages can find meaning in the story. The Last Map Maker is definitely a great example of this #books #reading #booksky

Sherlock Sam’s Orange Shorts: The Second Pair now exists in this part of the multiverse! @thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I were out with friends yesterday and saw them at Kinokuniya SG and Popular SG! Thank you so much! ✨ #newbook #books #reading #booksky #kidlit #MGbooks #childrensbooks #writersky

Ohhhh

Haven’t been able to fully let go of work & writing on break because there’re so many things I’m excited about. In a world that seems increasingly deranged, publishing & writing are ways I feel I still have some control, where I feel we can still make a difference, even if it’s just a small one

omg Asunder by @kerstinhall.bsky.social is captivating. I’m reading while walking and hoping I don’t crash into anything #felireads #books #reading #booksky #sff

It’s comic, books, and game store hopping in Madrid with @thecomicaztec.bsky.social today! Check out this underground SFF section at Generación X. #bookstores #comics #games #books #madrid

I’m genuinely excited for kids to read these far-out yet close-to-home stories, & hope they’ll find fun and comfort the same way @thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I did when we were writing them. Also, Drewscape’s art is next level amazing ✨ epigrambookshop.sg/products/she... #booksky #kidlit #books

I’ve been wanting to read this fantastical Holmes-and-Watson style mystery for so long. I’m on a break in #Madrid for a week. Will I finally be able to catch up on my long neglected #TBR? :p P.S. Any Madrid bookstore recs? Please send them my way! #felireads #booksky #books #reading

Tiger Girls at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair artists’ wall ✨ Isn’t Claire Low’s art stunning? tigergirlscomic.differenceengine.sg #webcomic #comic #graphicnovel #art #illustration #artist #illustrator

Accidentally left my copy of Taiwan Travelogue at home but luckily I never travel without backup. I loved Dragon Pearl (Thousand Worlds Book #1) so much and have been waiting to dig into Tiger Honor for so long! Also, it’s not even 8pm and I’m ready to crash :p #felireads #booksky #books #reading

I was expecting a sapphic romance but not page after page of delicious food descriptions #felireads #booksky #reading #books #translatedfiction

Hi! I’m a writer & I also work in comics publishing! I co-write the bestselling MG mystery series Sherlock Sam w/ @thecomicaztec.bsky.social that’s been translated into seven languages, and I also write a YA fantasy webcomic, Tiger Girls, drawn by Claire Low. A print comic will be out in May 2025! ✨

You only stole 12 out of our 19 books, Meta. I’m insulted. @thecomicaztec.bsky.social

I can’t decide what I’m in the mood for #felireads #books #reading #booksky

I’m going to be at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in a couple of weeks! It’s probably my favourite trade fair because of their love for art and comics. Anyone also attending? ✨ #BCBF2025 #BolognaChildrensBookFair #books #childrensbooks #kidlit www.bolognachildrensbookfair.com/en/home

A new Sherlock Sam is coming out after 2 years! Sherlock Sam’s Orange Shorts: The Second Pair is our thickest book yet ✨ @thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I wrote 6 short stories and 1 novella, which is longer than our 1st book :D Preorders: epigrambookshop.sg/products/she... #KiLit #BookSky

omg Kim was so proud of us #DiscoElysium

I can finally dig in properly #felireads #crimefiction #booksky #books #reading

Sherlock Sam is with the printers. Tiger Girls is with the editorial and design team. And Secret Project has been edited and is with co-writer and in-house editor @thecomicaztec.bsky.social. I’m gonna lie down and read now.

#Opencall opportunity where I work! It’s always the quietest ones that rage the most in games 😝 Submit your video game stories by 31 Ma! DE is accepting submissions for comics, fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, and multimedia works. Check out differenceengine.sg/ftpopencall/ for details.

Everything I do as writer and publisher has been informed by my years of bookselling experience! It’s been invaluable!

This is quite possibly the best visual representation of how @thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I co-write together lol

I wrote this episode a while ago but it feels so relevant now. Check out the final episode of Tiger Girls now: tigergirlscomic.differenceengine.sg/episodes/7 There will also be a print comic in May with a new short story (because the lore needs to continue) and new art by Claire! #webcomic

Hitting the road again with @thecomicaztec.bsky.social! Taipei International Book Fair here we come!

The @scbwi.bsky.social Winter Conference was amazing! It was great to be able to focus on the craft of writing during our creative labs where we could workshop our newest project that we’ve been working on while simultaneously editing the new Sherlock Sam book! @thecomicaztec.bsky.social #SCBWINY25

Will @thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I spend our 18-hour flight working on edits that are due immediately when we touch down or will we pretend to watch a movie but really just pass out? Who knows?! Our lives are so exciting.

The @scbwi.bsky.social Winter Conference starts tomorrow but there are manuscripts and portfolio reviews today! It’s so exciting! :d @thecomicaztec.bsky.social #SCBWINY25

A lot of the traveling I’ve done has been as Publisher at Difference Engine, so I’m psyched to attend a conference as a writer! @thecomicaztec.bsky.social & I are in NY for the @scbwi.bsky.social Winter Conference & we’re excited to meet other #kidlit writers & learn lots! Anyone else attending?

After 1.5 years of writing a new book (of a new series), literally, just last night, @thecomicaztec.bsky.social and I figured a more effective way to edit vs what we’ve been doing omg lol #writing

Episode 6 of Tiger Girls is up! It has one of my fav scenes… A flashback or a memory? A fragment of imagination or a prophecy? Suling takes a stand. tigergirlscomic.differenceengine.sg/episodes #webcomic #comics #graphicnovels

She’s totally didn’t space *all* the xenomorphs

Antea was so mean to Red last week. Will they make up today? 🥲

🌊 Episode 5 of Tiger Girls has just dropped! 🌊 Aunt Lian Neo reveals a gruesome truth and Suling has to make a difficult choice before time runs out for the Tiger Girls. Which side of history will she stand on? tigergirlscomic.differenceengine.sg #TigerGirlsComic #webcomic #comics
