Karsa Luna is an Indonesian author of literary romance thriller. Her debut novel, The Way You Say Their Name, is set in Limina, a fictional city divided by conflict, where characters navigate love, loss, and the quiet hope for peace.

The novel explores what people sacrifice (family, love, comfort), what they fear (losing someone, pain, being forgotten), and what they hope for (peace, connection, a reason to stay). It is a story about names, inheritance, and the weight of staying when everyone else has left.

Karsa has published four gateway short stories (free), a short story bundle, and the main novel in both Indonesian and English. Her work is available on Amazon, Google Play Books, Draft2Digital, Royal Road and Wattpad.

Mapping Limina: West Bank vs East Bank (A Worldbuilding Notes)

Every fictional city has a map. Most maps are practical, streets, buildings, checkpoints. But the map of Limina isn't about geography. It's about what people believe about the other side of the river.

Limina is divided by Marga River. On the west bank: government buildings, checkpoints, the headquarters of Saraya. On the east bank: Cangkang, the resistance, basement clinics, safe houses that move e Read more of this blog post »

Rista shared a highlight from
Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto
We’ve been very lonely, but we had it easy. Because death is so heavy—we, too young to know about it, couldn’t handle it. After this you and I may end up seeing nothing but suffering, difficulty, and ugliness, but if only you’ll agree to it, I want for us to go on to more difficult places, happier places, whatever comes, together. I want you to make the decision after you’re completely better, so take your time thinking about it. In the meantime, though, don’t disappear on me.”
