One day until THE FIGHT WE CHOOSE goes on submission. Come for the grounded martial arts fantasy and the Japanese American coming-of-age story, stay for the childhood friends to lovers arc and the cross-dressing infiltration scene.

Two days until THE FIGHT WE CHOOSE goes on submission. I listened to a lot of JRPG soundtracks to get me through the manuscript. Nothing makes the fingers fly quite like this.

Three days until THE FIGHT WE CHOOSE goes on submission. When I was a kid, martial arts was the most magical thing in the world. The book is as much for me at 10 as it is for me at 40. And maybe it will be for other people, too :)

Four days until THE FIGHT WE CHOOSE goes on submission. For me, the best part of writing older YA is that you can have characters confront adult stakes with the optimism and humor of youth, making every success feel like an inspiring dream come true. You also get road trips :)

Seven days until THE FIGHT WE CHOOSE goes on submission. Itโs not horror, but all the horrible things in it already happened in real life. 120,000 people interned, and weโre still fighting racism.

Eight days until THE FIGHT WE CHOOSE goes on submission. There arenโt nearly enough stories about the heroism of finding your identity as a mixed-race person. Now thereโs one more.

Novel writing is the only art I can think of where we pretend weโll do it well the first time.

Nine days until THE FIGHT WE CHOOSE goes on submission. Iโm so proud to be able to bring a genuine Japanese American fantasy to life, and to create a story with truly unique and underrepresented stakes.
