Right now, I have not had writers block yet! ;) I produced 5 books in less than 2 months.

Because I am an author of children's book and I illustrate too, illustrating characters is fun thing to do. writing a story is fun as well. I can do this all day and forget about everything else.

Write what you want to write, not to worry about either sale or not because writing is a form of arts and someone would like your art but others might not. As long as we write from out heart and able to see someone holds the book, it is the best reward!

I just finished a new book, and published last night, White Socks.
So right now I am not writing anything but I am thinking for next book, Shuta series the 5th. It is going to be sort of like my first book, "How Are You, Shuta?" which directly speaks to our heart. I hope children will love this.

I wanted to write children's book since 1998. I started to illustrate Shuta. I used to use the illustration to tell a story of Shuta to my daughters when they were young. They told me "Mom, you should write this story."
Now, I get inspired every day when I see children reading my books. Some readers (parents) sent me or post their children's pictures with Shuta books and they tell me how much they love Shuta. That inspires me the most.

Hmmm. My most recent book is the one that I just published last night so it is on Amazon today, White Socks. I had the idea to publish this book from a long time ago. This book is based on a true story and I even have a storytelling Youtube video about this. I posted the Youtube channel URL so you can watch it if you are interested.
