New Book Announcement | ⏛ Love Me Before I Love You ⏛
          	
          	Far from the K-thrillers that had recently filled my sleepless nights [and hadn’t exactly spared my sensitive heart], I suddenly felt the urge to write a love story⏤one with no suspense [like Melancholia Sonata might have] and no bloodshed [as in Code Double Nine]... just a beautiful story about love.
          	
          	Of course, hearts will still be torn apart [I can’t shake off my writing habits just like that], but this time it will be beautiful in the sense that I truly want to explore what emotion really means...
          	
          	Just a note about the main male character: this time, I’m not referring to Jay [nor to any member of EN- if you were wondering... I'm drawing from new inspirations to create my male lead...].
          	
          	Happy reading, everyone!
          	Lovingly yours

Quick question (for a quick answer?):
          
          I was wondering... what exactly do people mean when they tag their novel as fanfiction?
          Is it only because one of the main characters is an idol?
          Or is it because the story includes a version of the idol’s real-life identity?
          
          Until now (meaning: before this account), I never wrote stories with a K-pop idol as the main character.
          But it seems to me that tagging my current novels as "fanfiction" isn’t always quite right.
          
          I’d love to hear your thoughts⏤they’ll surely shed some light!

            I guess I can start tagging my stories as something other than fanfiction, since they’re really not K-pop-focused!
            Thanks for your reply, and I hope you’re doing well!

@TheJaylineEffect I think it’s just how ppl write their idols cuz some stories they have a completely different personality than wht we see irl, so it’s fiction, and doesn’t reflect the idols actually personality in anyway shape or form

New Book Announcement | Code Double Nine
          
          Currently deep into a thriller that’s delivering on every promise, I suddenly found myself haunted⏤day and night⏤by the idea of writing a romance with a touch of suspense.
          
          It’s a genre I rarely explore, at least not as a writer, but this time, I just couldn’t hold back my pen...
          
          So here it is: Code Double Nine, with... Jay as the main character (try to act surprised!).
          
          I can’t reveal too much⏤the mystery kicks off right from the start, and each chapter drops subtle clues, so... saying even a little would already be saying too much.
          
          Another first: I had to label this one Mature, due to some rather raw language and a few intense scenes.
          
          I truly hope this story grips you the way it’s been gripping me.
          
          Happy reading, everyone!
          Lovingly yours

After several weeks of silence… I’m finally returning to Come Back To Me.
          The story is still in its early stages, but the characters are slowly finding their place.
          
          Since it’s not written in the first person or from a limited point of view, it’s the perfect opportunity (a dream, really!) to enrich each chapter with vivid, atmospheric descriptions.
          Though it takes more time to shape (hello, perfectionism) I truly enjoy this style of writing, and I’m so happy to reconnect with the unique bond between Jay and Rumi.
          
          Wishing you all a beautiful read!

New Book Announcement | Melancholia Sonata |  Featuring Lee Heeseung
          ******************************************************************************
          
          Lately, the nights have felt endlessly short, and inspiration, undeniably, has been clinging to me like a friend who refuses to go to sleep.
          Then I stumbled across a few old photos of Heeseung, and the moment I saw the one that now graces the cover, this story began to take shape almost instantly. I must admit… he looks very (very!) charming here.
          
          So here it is: 
          Melancholia Sonata | A poignant, romantic tale with Lee Heeseung at its heart.
          A story where emotion leads and reason simply follows. (Yes, it’s a classic saying, but one that holds so much truth.)
          
          I’ve always had a deep love for the piano, and my hopelessly romantic side did the rest.
          
          The tone is gentler this time, quiet, almost poetic.
          It’s a style that feels very natural to me, though this is the first time I’m sharing something in this tone here.
          
          I hope it resonates with you.
          And as always… happy reading, everyone!

Today marks the end of Cold Cactus and its Chapter 7!
          
          A story that moved me deeply once again—saying goodbye to the characters wasn’t easy.
          It also brought such lovely reactions from readers—thank you for that!
          
          A new short story is coming very soon… so stay tuned!
          
          And as always—happy reading, everyone!

New Short Story Announcement | Cold Cactus
          
          While I truly loved writing "Say You Won't Let Go", the final word has been written, and now it’s time to turn the page.
          
          Let’s embrace a new short story with... Cold Cactus!
          It carries its moments of sorrow, but as always, the romance I hold dear is never far behind.
          
          At its heart, it’s a beautiful encounter — one I hope you’ll enjoy alongside Jay and Violet.
          
          Happy reading everyone!
