✈️ Hi from California 📚


Hi, Everyone!

I'm using a new email service provider, so I hope this email gets to you okay! If you found it in your spam or promotions folder, could you please mark it "not spam" and/or move it to your inbox? Also, I would really appreciate it if you would reply and let me know that you received this.

Meanwhile, Hubby and I are in California for the summer. It's been great to reconnect with our families! We'll return home to Taiwan near the end of July.

So far, we've been struck by the high food prices, the huge sky (with so few tall buildings to block it), and the dry weather. The humidity is one of the (few) things we don't enjoy about life in Taiwan, but we're used to it. SoCal is just sooo dry!

What About My Writing?

I've been hard at work on various projects at once, but the main one is editing my newly rewritten version of my YA fantasy novel, In the Enemy's Service. It's coming along slowly—the rough draft is very rough and needs lots of work! But it's fun going back through it and revisiting the scenes I haven't seen since April. (Already, that feels like a really long time ago!)

Ready for Some Good Books?

A friend of mine has a fantasy novel book out that looks awesome, and she's making it available for free until June 20th! Take a look at this gorgeous cover!

Here's the blurb:

Unless Stacy Macken can stave off her creditors, she may lose her renowned history center. Yet she knows in her heart that the center is sacred and what a catastrophe losing it would be. How much of a catastrophe, she hasn’t a clue.

Until Aaron Fielding arrives with his tales of magical guardians and the Tuatha dé Danann, sworn warriors from Celtic legend who protect humanity from a wicked enemy seeking their destruction.

Is the end of the world imminent? What can Stacy, a modern woman, and her warrior lover possibly have to offer when a long-prophesied druidic mythic battle explodes around them?

Hi, Everyone! How was your holiday season? Mine was great. Shortly before Christmas, my husband and I visited some friends who live in a nearby city that decorates like crazy for Christmas. We had a lot of fun walking around and looking at all the lights and decor. It even "snowed" on us at one point (hey, it was no more fake than the "snow" in Disneyland in California!). That's where the picture of the beautiful lanterns above is from—click on it if you'd like to see my whole album,...
