Hello!
Yasmin: Etches Of Scales is available for purchase on Amazon, Kobo, and Kobo+. Here is the link to my poorly made website (will fix or create a new one) for the links to these platforms:

Hey Friend, my name's Rain. I'm one of your readers, I was wondering if you could take some time to read my new story. I've just started writing it and there's only one chapter, but I'd love your feedback on it.
Mahalo for hundreds of pairs of eyes!
To celebrate this achievement, I have posted some character art of Yasmin, drawn by amazing artists on IG. It'll be a place to dump any artwork done and here and there marketing.
Luma, Kian, and Florian will be posted soon! You don't want to miss it. Very handsome bod—I-I mean faces. ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ
If you haven't already, the rewrite for Karu: Journey Beyond Tales is up with a couple of chapters for you to read. Hoping to conquer this writer's block and release another update soon. <3

@TheCheshireCat131211 Omggggg I’m so sorry about that! I’ve updated the link so it should be working now.
I tried to follow you on Instagram, but it didn’t work. I love your books by the way.
Aloha!
I wanted to take the time to sadly share that I'm currently dealing with writer's block and won't be able to update today for Karu: Journey Beyond Tales (Rewrite Version). I will do my best to send one out as soon as possible. It's been rough these couple of weeks.
@Itsykaru "Haha, no problem! Jigglypuff is one of the most iconic Pokémon—you'll definitely love the series when you get to it. So glad to hear you're excited about rewriting Karu! Take your time with the editing for Yasmin: Etches of Scales, we’ll be here whenever it’s ready!"
@Itsykaru Aloha Karu! Thank you so much for the sweet message. I'm glad my username gave you a laugh—it’s actually a reference to Jigglypuff from Pokemon, but Kirby definitely fits the marshmallow description too! I’m honestly honored that you find my feedback helpful. Your writing in Karu: Journey beyond tales is already so immersive, so I can only imagine how incredible the rewrite will be. Don’t let the editing process burn you out too much! Also, that heroes/villains concept for 2029 sounds amazing—I’ll definitely be sticking around for that! Mahalo! Jigglypuffbae : )
Dear @Itsykaru, I am writing to share how much I truly enjoyed reading Karu: Journey beyond tales As a fan of the Beastworld genre, I found your interpretation to be one of the most vivid and immersive I’ve ever encountered. Thank you for creating such a rich world for readers to get lost in. I’m so hyped for the new version! I can’t wait to see the changes you’ve made and how Karu’s journey evolves this time around. Thank you for putting so much work into refining this story; it’s clear how much you care about this world. Counting down the days for the next update! Best regards, @jigglypuffbae
@jigglypuffbae Hahahaha! Oh my goodness, Jigglypuff? That's sooo cute! I've never watched or played Pokémon games, so this is my first time hearing that! I'll need to hop on the train someday and watch it. I'm really excited to rewrite Karu and am currently writing the next chapter as I type this. I have so many ideas I want to incorporate this time, now that I have a better understanding of how to pace the story. I can't promise the editing for Yasmin: Etches Of Scales won't burn me out, but it'll be worth it once it's done! ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ And looking forward to seeing you in 2029 with my hero/villain stories! Mahalo, ItsyKaru - "Karu/Kar" ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
@jigglypuffbae Aloha, jigglypuffbae I love your username as a start. It reminds me of marshmallows and that pink character, known to seemingly open its mouth and inhale delicious foods with red feet, if I recall correctly. Was it Kirby? I can't remember. Very cute, though. ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ Thank you SO MUCH for reading Karu. It means a lot to me to hear that you found the interpretation I have done to be the most vivid and immersive one you've ever encountered. Hoping the rewrite will meet those same standards as the original! My writing has improved immensely during my time authoring Yasmin: Etches Of Scales, and the editing & rewriting are brutal at the moment. As a fan of the Beastworld genre, I wanted to write a story with all the elements I wanted to see — one that felt both realistic and fictional, with intense emotions that would lead readers to receive answers to questions never considered or left buried in their minds. However, what matters most to me is providing an escape from our reality, where burdens too heavy for the heart to bear are lifted and put aside temporarily. ──୨ৎ── If you have any questions or concerns, you can message here. Anything urgent or requiring privacy, you can message me on my IG account (itsykaru) for a quicker response. I hope to see your username float around in the future when more Beastworld stories are released! Just a heads up that I plan to branch out to other genres that I think you'd be interested in some time in 2029. How about a world where heroes and villains exist, and a bunch of villains overthrows a country, making it illegal for people to act morally until a hero from another universe arrives and changes everything? Then another series with the same concept, but with a twist. If that's up your alley, you can come back anytime when that gets released. Have fun reading! Mahalo, ItsyKaru - "Karu/Kar" ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
@Itsykaru I love the old story. I like to re read my favorites. Im hoping u don't take it down.
Thankk you for bringing Karu back!
Aloha! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
I can't wait for Karu: Journey Beyond Tales (Rewritten) to be released soon. I'm leaving this here because I had previously promised 5 chapters. However, due to unforeseen events in my personal life, I was unable to have them prepared in time for the release, which will have only three chapters. The remaining two chapters will be published as soon as possible this week.
The story will be updated once a week with a chapter on Saturdays (HAST - 10:00am). If I happen to have extra time while working on Yasmin Series, a second chapter will be released as a surprise.
Mahalo for your understanding!
@shawnabowman40 Thank you for the concern! With recent messaging from other readers, I've decided I'll keep it published permanently this time.
@shawnabowman40 I’ve had a reader go beyond their way to reach out and ask, so now I’m questioning if I should just keep it up this time. I did extend the date for a couple more days as I think upon this. <3
