edit data

C.W. Rose is an Award-Winning Fantasy and Romance author who writes about ordinary Asian women in extraordinary situations, and find themselves, and sometimes—okay, usually—love along the way, and the cinnamon roll (not always human) men who adore them. She is also a certified scuba diver and lifeguard with a deep love for the world and animals around us, though she hasn’t spotted any mermaids yet. Outside of writing, you can find her buried in a great book, learning to sing in different languages, and finding any excuse to spend time outdoors. She’s also a third culture kid who grew up in Singapore, and currently lives in New York City with her family, working as a Physical Therapist.

OCEANSONG Review on Sometimes Leelynn Reads Blog!

I recently had a wonderful experience with the Hear Our Voices book tour, who highlights marginalized voices. I’ve done a few book tours on my own, as well as a few that my publisher signed me up for. I may be posting all the ones that Oceansong has been in, and more information about them in the future

HOV’s readers created some absolutely beautiful and original content for the weeklong tour, and
