    The Last Festival of Beasts is an original, myth-inspired fantasy that draws from the ancient legends of four great creatures across Asia: Azure the dragon of China, Bakunawa the moon dragon of the Philippines, Kitsune the fox spirit of Japan, and Haetae the holy lion of Korea. In the mist-clung realm of Kyodara, these immortals walk as beautiful women, Guardians of the sacred Festival of Beasts. Yet as old wounds surface and buried secrets stir, the mist darkens. An ancient dragon stirs from its slumber. Death stalks the holy grounds. The threads of sisterhood fray as betrayal and guilt rise to the surface, and a looming doom threatens to consume them all. With honor, heartbreak, and a looming sacrifice, The Last Festival of Beasts explores trust and betrayal, immortality and sacrifice, sisterhood and redemption. Will the mist remember their bond-or bury it forever?

    In a land where poetry holds power and fox spirits walk among mortals, one man's quiet life is upended by flame, love, and destiny. Wen, a reclusive scholar in the waning days of the Tang Dynasty, seeks only peace and the solitude of his inkstone. But when Mei-a wild and radiant fox woman-storms into his life, everything changes. Loud, fearless, and impossible to ignore, Mei disrupts his quiet world, and before long, even his family begins to welcome her strange, fanged presence. As political tensions rise and jealous forces seek to use Wen for their own ends, Mei reveals a deeper realm of magic, danger, and ancestral secrets. Drawn into a world of ancient fox clans and mystical power, Wen must find strength not in steel, but in story-using the power of ink and word to defy a ruthless warlord and help forge a new peace between races. Blending rich Chinese folklore with poignant romance and lyrical prose, Foxfire and Ink is a tale of love without pretenses, of fire that heals rather than destroys, and of a man who learns that the strongest weapons are the truths we choose to write.

    Our Elders broke the world. Darkness became their punishment. But through the selflessness of one young woman, my ancestor, hope was given and the rise of a new world was forged. In order for the Rift Cities to see the Dawn, an Ascension of 12 Weavers must happen every 10 cycles or the world would be cast again in Darkness. Ben-Yamira Song is a reincarnation of the Goddess of Love, one of the Tetra, the 4 Great Bakka Gods. 80,000 years ago, she sacrificed herself in the Great War between Gods of Heaven and Chaos in order to give humanity a chance to survive. Many years later, she's reborn as a seemingly normal mortal girl. Albeit, she's a bit flighty, reserved and seeming to lack ambition, to the dismay of her lady warrior mother but otherwise a regular teenager. In reality, she secretly wishes to become a Spyder, a position belonging only to the best Practioners of Red String Ather. However, it's a very prestigious Guild, so highly sought and desired, it only accepts males to apprentice and learn the trade. Her plans all go awry, when her mother sets her up with an unwanted suitor during the Moon Festival, causing her to flee. In her escape, she then stumbles across Tai-Joon Han, an enigmatic boy who's also running from his past. He's actually the reincarnation of the God of War. The two accidentally become bound by the red string of fate. So until they can figure out a way to remove it, the two are stuck together. In the meantime, between getting pulled into adventures, sorting out her new found status as the Ishtar, the pair grow close and maybe it isn't so bad after all, being bound together.

    When Earth-girl Peach stumbles across an ancient book, she unlocks the path to the mythical Shen Continent - a world on the edge of collapse. Storms rage, empires crumble, and chaos spreads across the land. The only hope? The five Celestial Princesses - guardians of truth, compassion, honour, righteousness, and wisdom. But the Princesses are missing, and the world is falling apart without them. A benevolent cosmic force has given the world one more chance by reversing spacetime. Now guided by a whimsical Celestial Android and tested by forces that wish to keep the Princesses lost forever, Peach must journey through kingdoms torn by war, corruption, and ancient rivalries. Each step brings her closer to awakening the Earth Princess... and closer to the shadowy powers that want to rule Shen Continent their own way. ✨ Written from stories I told my daughter over two years. Inspired by Chinese mythology, wuxia epics, and the magic of the Five Elements-Celestial Princesses is a fantasy saga about friendship, snacks, and, most importantly, the power of believing in yourself.
