We are going to be back at NDK! Hope to see you there August 29th-31st.

Hello everybody. Here’s a little about me: ✍️I write Shinto mythology fantasy books. I love ☕️ I read a lot of manga, danmei, yoai Favorite anime of all time is Ranma 1/2 I have a 🐩 and a 🐈 I tutor Japanese on the side My favorite food is pho 🍜

WHAT WOULD YOU SACRIFICE FOR DUTY? The second instalment of the Eileerean Saga is coming soon! ✨Strong female characters ✨Intrigue ✨Magic systems ✨Mythical creatures ✨Worldbuilding ✨(More) Backstabbing ✨Epic battles ✨Fated mates #booksky #epicfantasybookseries #eileereansaga #indieauthor

I read my reviews. *GASP!* But I can handle it because college critique sessions conditioned me so. Here's what I discovered: Readers are skeptical of my Cozy-Dark Romantasies but are pleasantly surprised by how such an odd combo works. My readers don't know they're looking for me. #indiebooks

I'm struggling to find where I fit in the bookish space because I write Romantasy with open door, but there's not lots of it, and sometimes I write slow burn, and sometimes it's insta love. And it's not popular on the market because I don'y write shadow daddies, or ACOTAR Fae. #indiebooks #romantasy

I'm supposed to be a brand, but I am not a very marketable product because I don't have a defined aesthetic. I am simply a being of the cosmos confined to a corporeal form that is always sleepy for my whimsy dreams of quiet dark and devoted love keep me alive. #booksky #skybooks #author #fantasy

Most of my characters don't start traumatized, but they end traumatized, and so will you. 😘 #booksky #skybooks #indiebooks #fantasybooks

Treasure Planet is my Roman Empire so it's just fitting that my Romantasy also features a reluctant father/son duo. #skybooks #booksky #indiebooks #romantasy #treasureplanet

When the forbidden romance has consequences and now you're a vampire. 😩 #booksky #skybooks #indiebooks #romantasy

How do I explain to readers that my Romantasy books have smut, but it's more like a little treat for being a good little reader who enjoys the pining and emotional buildup just as much as the steamy, romantic entanglements? #skybooks #booksky #indiebooks #romantasybooks

"Why are you writing a 4 book series with a trilogy of interconnected stories featuring 3 sets of MCs where book 4 has all the HEAs only after you've broken my heart first?" Because they said, "write the book you want to read." And I took that personally. 🙄 #booksky #skybooks #indiebooka #fantasy

A Plague of Promises is taking a while. I'm sorry. 😭 There's a lot going on with forbidden friends to lovers, arranged courtships, enemies in a mutually exploitative partnership, and of course a deadly plague sweeping the land that the MMC has put upon himself to fix. #booksky #skybooks #indiebooks

The hardest book to write isn't the first one. It's the second.

Authors will plan the cover, cover reveal, aesthetic photos, marketing videos, character art before even finishing draft 1. It's me I'm Authors. I'm so busy trying to get my Cozy-Dark Romantasy series finished that my Sun❤️Moon ancient longing, queer Romantasy is almost all thoughts and no words.

I'm gonna need all the bookish peeps who canceled KU to hop on Kobo cuz that's where I'm at with the pieces of broken hearts I stole from my readers because I'll give you that HEA, but I gotta shatter you first. 😘 #indieapril #indieauthor #kobo #KU #booksky #skybooks

I'm late to the plate, but I have a newsletter now!🥳

I once wrote 20k words in 2 days, and I could feel the carpel tunnel creeping in. God forbid a mass of magical energy bound to a corporeal form have hobbies without the vessel it's been forced into falling apart. #indieauthor #booksky #skybooks #authorsky #skyauthor

God knew I'd be too powerful if I could write a book from beginning to end in chronological order. But no, I just have to be a quilter. 🙄 #indieauthor #authorsky #skyauthor #booksky #skybooks

I think I forgot to tell you this, but I'm wide again. You can find my Cozy-Dark Romantasy featuring a vampire origin story, forbidden romance, spice, fae magic, found family and ✨EMOTIONAL DAMAGE✨ most places online. #booksky #skybooks #romantasybooks #cozyfantasybooks #darkfantasybooks

Readers: How did you pull off a Cozy-Dark Romantasy with a long awaited HEA? Me: It's funny that you asked because *runs away* I have no idea. It just kind of happened. 🤷‍♀️ #indieapril #fantasybooks #romantasy #romantasybooks #booksky #skybooks

When the co-villain of the series is low key charming in a dark romance kinda way, but your FMC is too in love with the soft MMC to even give the villain a second thought. #indieapril #charmingvillain #softmmc #booksky #skybooks #fantasyromancebooks

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Listen, I get it. It's super easy to say things like, "welcome to Gilead," and "under his eye," and "The Handmaid's Tale wasn't supposed to be a manual?!" But I'm tired of it okay. The jokes have been beaten to death and serve no purpose anymore. It's not helping. Say something more constructive pls

I've written nearly 2k words for my ☀️❤️🌙 Stand Alone Queer Romantasy today, and I'm not stopping there! #queerromantasybooks

Guys my secret WIP about the sun and moon just won't let me rest. I'm finding that it works as an allegory for the fact that ass hats think the world is broken and wrong just because gay people can love each other without shame in the open. 1/2

Authors I can't urge you enough to plan to back up all your book files in flash drives. Convert Word files to something you don't have to pay to play and get your writing off your devices that have any kind of AI. I know you can disable them, but they never stay off. 1/2

Sera: I love Vigo. The Fae Council: You're not allowed. Leave him. Sera: No. TFC: Puts a death curse on Vigo. Sera: Turns Vigo into a vampire and disappears. Vigo: Destroys his home in a blood lust fueled frenzy, and then adopts the kid he orphaned. TFC: 👁️👄👁️ Casualties of Immortality on KU

#booksky I need y'all to hop the #cozydark #romnatasy trend with me because I cannot be the only one reading and writing it. 🍄🥀🫀🌙🗡️ Thank you. 🙂‍↕️

Telling kids to get jobs to pay for their own school lunch is giving, "let them eat cake," and I know that phrase has been misconstrued and was actually said by someone totally different, but the sentiment has been ingrained in many as relating to a certain time in French history so...
