    Miki and Ana’s Twenty Questions

    March 25, 2017 - By 

    In Songs to Get Over You, Ana suggests that she and Miki get to know each other better by playing Twenty Questions. Now I don’t know the actual questions you’d find if you get this game, but as Ana said, the rules are pretty simple: 1. You answer all the questions, and 2. The questions don’t have to end at 20. So here I’m sharing with you Miki and Ana’s version of the game. I’ve put down my own answers (feel free to ignore them, haha), and I thought it would be fun if you answer them too. Tag me? Okay,…

    2016 – The Bookish Year That Was

    January 7, 2017 - By 

    It feels good to do this again, because it tells me that 2015 was not a fluke or a very vivid daydream, but was something that really happened and led to more things in 2016, writing and publishing-wise. In 2016, I: Published two books, Songs to Get Over You (February 2016) and Songs to Make You Stay (October 2016) Wrote two books, Songs to Make You Stay and SYCBT Put my books up on Createspace for paperbacks to be available internationally. Well, all except the Shinta book. I shall get to that. View this post on Instagram   Wrote a…

    Happy Book Birthday, Shinta! Songs to Make You Stay is Live <3

    October 9, 2016 - By 

    I agonize over writing a lot (normal), but it took me more than a few months to finally decide and write this book. As far back as last year (soon after releasing Songs of Our Breakup), my friend/fairy godmother Layla and I had been plot-bunnying about this. It was supposed to be Miki and Shinta in one book, in alternating perspectives. But then I thought, ‘no, what a mess that would be.’ Also they deserved more than that <3 So Miki got his own book, Songs to Get Over You. Now Shinta has gotten his, and they share the same…

    A Day in the Friendzone. November 17, Monday, afternoon, one year ago

    September 20, 2016 - By 

    This is a companion short story to Miki‘s book, Songs to Get Over You. *** “That girl?” “Nope.” “The one to her left? Pink sweater, legs that go on for days. Wow.” “I’m pretty sure I can’t.” “How about her friend?” “Too bulky…” “Mikhail. Are you a weight-ist?” “No!” Miki shrank back at the laser beam glare Jill shot at him. He put both palms up and rushed out his explanation. “I actually think she’s pretty and perfectly rounded in the right places.” They were sitting on the gnarled wooden bench in the College of Economics front lobby, slumped on…

    [Repost] #romanceclass: Love and Secret Identities

    September 11, 2016 - By 

    I see a few of the previous #romanceclass articles featured confessions. So here is mine: I’m using a pen name. That won’t come off as a shock, I am sure, since I’ve been fairly open about it. When I first decided to venture into self-publishing, the next decision to make wasn’t even if I was going to use a pen name, but what pen name to use. I told myself I was doing it to separate my identities. I wanted my author self to be in this box, while the rest of me—the corporate girl, the teacher—to be in this…
