Hello hello~ Just a quick update!
          	
          	Really sorry for the lack of updates. Tried a few writing projects which sort of fizzled out in between work and irl stuff.
          	
          	I'm currently working on All American Boys and recent events makes it a little too real. Well! Who knew my gay erotic thriller murder/descent into madness against the backdrop of the rise of fascism I wrote as an undergrad could hit so close.
          	
          	Now that things have settled down a bit, I hope to release something in December. I've missed writing and after a lot of soul-searching I've decided to return to it. I ended up reading Monsieur Laurier a couple of times, I'd like to confess, because it was such a personal story and I guess reading and reliving my experience writing that was kinda therapeutic (?) I guess. Haha.
          	
          	Love you lots x

Hello everyone, it's been a while. After graduating from university, a marriage, a divorce, multiple jobs, relationships, kisses, and deaths, I have decided that there is still something that remains unfulfilled in my life - completing All American Boys. But rereading my old work I feel a bit conflicted. I loved the ideas and themes. I do enjoy the general direction of the plot. But I have changed. It's been 5 years and I have grown a lot as a person and as a writer.
          
          As such, this 2024 I am going to try and rewrite All American Boys.
          
          Watch this space.
          
          Love you,

I believe you should give " Monsieur Laurier" to a good publisher. As much as I love to read it here and for free, this work deserves to be seen with a more serious look. Give it a try and I know you won't regret it.

After rewriting a whole chunk of the earlier chapters and going through multiple rounds of editing, I've finally submitted Monsieur Laurier for the 2022 Wattys! On another note, Monsieur Laurier has reached 1000 votes and (almost) 10,000 reads! Thank you so much for all your support :)

"Monsieur Laurier" absolutely wrecked me! I sobbed reading ferren's letter cause everytime he is described i always try to imagine how it will be if it's written form his pov...but i know i can never come in terms with those strong feelings!... that character resonates with me lot cause all i ever described as "ig u are hard to love" "i can never understand you" "i can never guess ur thoughts"...i feel helpless hearing these comments from my loved ones! He was so me... reading abt him felt like reading about myself how someone will write abt me!....i absolutely loved him! every ounce emotion i poured on him pity, helpless,anger,hope, regret,love etc! Reading about his death made me feel lik i lost someone i meant to protect!...idk ik it's just fictional but i can't bear to seperate him and my reality.....i read many books and loved many characters forgot them but i really wanna hold this book and him throughout my life.... thank u so much author for creating a beautiful world that lured me in....you really have knack for writing please never ever stop writing please don't lock these thoughts in your mind, just pen it, let us feel it and get lost in it....i absolutely loved it! I mean really u will thrive your way into future i promise you!...i would love to talk with u more ....these three characters has my heart❤️...
