Dear Amazing Readers,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for agreeing to dive into Deeper Than Black I’m beyond excited to hear your thoughts and reviews! Your support means the world to me, and I’m always here via inbox for any questions, constructive criticism, or just to chat about the story.

A special shoutout to those of you who’ve already gone above and beyond! Your insights, format suggestions, and encouragement have been a lifeline. As a first-time neurodivergent author, I struggle with certain aspects of the process, and your help has been invaluable. You know who you are, and I hope you’ll stick with me as I continue this journey and write more books.

For almost two decades, self-doubt and fear of rejection held me back from publishing. Yet, the positivity and love I’ve received from you has been overwhelming and unexpected. As I eagerly await your thoughts on Deeper Than Black , I’m thrilled to share that Darker Than Blue is already in progress, alongside seven other books I’m crafting.

Thank you for giving me the courage to share my stories. I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Now - I'd like to give you a sneaky peek of what I've been working on next!

In the shadowed forest villages of a mythic world inspired by pre-Sengoku Japan, Emika, a Reitsumeyoke, wields sacred Reikyo talismans to slay Sugami - twisted gods fueled by envy and hunger for worship. But when the mountain god’s voice falls silent and protective wards falter, the Sugami’s wrath threatens to consume all.

Joined by Mu, a cursed minor god bound by secrets, Emika ventures into a divine game of betrayal and hidden truths to restore the mountain’s power. In a world where gods play mortals as pawns, every choice risks unraveling the fragile balance. This is a tale of defiance, the sacrifices of faith, love and loyalty, and the cost of challenging the divine.
