Hi everyone!
So last Friday, I finally announced the title and revealed the cover of my upcoming book: "Chasing Sunsets: Love & Wonders Anthology", published under VRJ Books.
Here are the details! And the questions you've all been asking me about it. :)
On Book Details
What is your book about?
Chasing Sunsets is a short story collection revolving around the theme of love and magic. :) A fairytale of sorts, I guess you could say, which features tales set in the ancient times and the contemporary era as well.
Genre: Fantasy, Romance, YA
Audience: This book falls under the Young Adult genre, but I'm sure people of all ages would enjoy it.
When will the book be released?
End of August! I'll update you guys on the specific date once I receive word from my editor.
Where will it be sold?
The book is marketed in the Philippines and will be available in all National Bookstore branches. (https://www.nationalbookstore.com/)
Oh no, I don't live in the Philippines... Can I still buy it?
YES, definitely! National Bookstore has an online website where you can place your orders for international shipping.
Check out this link (https://www.nationalbookstore.com/shipping-rate) to see the rates. If you don't find your country, don't panic! On the last row of the table, you will see: 'REST OF THE WORLD'. lol
*For international deliveries, standard delivery schedules apply.
How exactly do I order from National Bookstore?
Don't worry, they have a FAQ on how to order and shipping too! (https://www.nationalbookstore.com/frequently-asked-questions/)
How much will the book cost?
The book is PHP 195.00 (so about $3.81)
On Writing
Since this is an anthology, what was your favorite story in it to write, if you can even choose just one, and why?
Good question! And a very hard one at that...haha! I'm a bit torn really, but I guess I would have to say I enjoyed writing "Chasing Sunsets" a lot which is the story this whole collection was named after.
I chose this particular story because it was what inspired me to create this anthology in the first place. It's the story the bound it all together.
Will your new book be something you've written before and posted on your sns? Or it's a completely new book that we haven't read or seen before?
Both. ;) I'm sure you guys remember that I've taken down some short stories from my blog... keke~ But don't worry, it's been revised and there are added scenes too!
And yes, Chasing Sunsets is actually one of the original stories I had up on my blog a long time ago. You won't find the stories on any of my accounts anymore as I've already taken them down. If you want to read them again, it would have to be through this book. <3
What is your most frustrating and memorable memories while writing, editing and publishing the novel?
Funny thing: collectively, this book took about 4 years to write. They were written throughout my "blog years" and one of the stories was actually a homework I did back in college.
