We don't have a photo of Arvee, so we will let his beautiful work speak for him. From the Philippines, living in Japan, like someone else @sylviawoodham.bsky.social knows, he may be hard on his writing, but he's a sweet and creative soul!

We rave constantly about Willy Conley, self-described "profoundly deaf" former professor at the only hearing impaired liberal arts university in the world, because we cannot get enough of his immersive writing and magical worlds of silence he creates.

One story @sylviawoodham.bsky.social fought for, which will require a once over by Lemana is Arvee. You'll see why when you read the book. We were so happy to get this voice from Philippines, and we know @tdpress.bsky.social is πŸ‘€ all over the mythology themes πŸ’™πŸ“š

The energy this week has been infectious, if it was the women's founders workshop, or networking event where there was so much excitement about Three Dragons, or the pitch to @futuresax.bsky.social
