Well, I did it!
          	"Vengeful Creations" (the novel) is finished, at last!! ✨️✨️
          	
          	The insane holiday season really slowed me down, but I was able to mark the book "complete" tonight! Yay!
          	
          	Fun little factoid:
          	The original novella version (from 2021) was 32,160 words, while the novel version is 68,770 words!! Whoa! Pretty amazing!
          	
          	Please check it out! Whether you like slice of life, historical fiction, sci-fi, paranormal/horror, fairytales, superheroes, Norse mythology, Shakespeare, video games, or romance, there is literally something for everyone in this book! ❤️

@Nyhterides Oh, do you like the cover? I'm trying it out because I'm still not sure. It's hard to choose a cover for a book that has twelve different stories in it! I appreciate the feedback! ❤️

Maaarrrr!!! Tell me you're writing something for the ONC?? Thank you for adding The Thirteenth Jem to your reading list ✨

@Nyhterides I'll try. I like big casts with lots of moving parts (Vengeful Creations, Bartender's Guide, Miss Otis Regrets, etc...), but it might be nice to just have four or five main characters for a change.

@MarCafeWrites put everything on pause and write! Yes, do a small cast. I was actually thinking that today, how I do enjoy writing with few characters whe

Huge thank you to Wattpad @Fantasy for featuring my novel "Where the Sakura Bloom" on their Isekai reading list!! I honestly didn't think any profile would ever feature that story!
          
          WTSB is a Narnia/Oz-esque story that takes place in a fictional land much like Imperial Japan. I began working on it in April of 2004 and finished it in April of 2025. A twenty-one year project!

Huge thank you to Wattpad @Ambassadors for adding my novella "A Bartender's Guide to Paying it Forward" to their Diverse Fiction reading list!
          
          Bartender's Guide is perhaps my most personal story (the protagonist has autism, like me), and seems to be one of my most beloved stories in the opinion of my repeat readers. Thank you to everyone who has given this unusual story a chance! ❤️

Huge thank you to @ChickLit (or they may be changing their handle to @ContemporaryChickLit) for featuring my novella "A Bartender's Guide to Paying it Forward" on their Diverse Lit reading list! ❤️
          
          Bartender's Guide is a journey of self discovery for an autistic bartender named Tate. Many of my readers have told me it's my best story on Wattpad! Thank you to everyone who has read it!
