I hope you'll check out my work Saints of Storm and Sorrow and Daughters of Flood and Fury. I pitch this duology as a Filipino mythology Avatar the Last Airbender except the Avatar is NOT a pacifist

It's Filipino American History Month and I'm a queer Fil-Am author writing award nominated Filipino epic fantasy that tackles generational trauma, anti-colonial themes, and the catharsis and strength in naming our hidden burdens instead of endless "resilience".

Now that's Sobrang Pinay 🙌🏽🇵🇭

I've entered my showgirl era

You can't tell me this wasn't written for my heroine, Daughter of the Goddess of Storms 🙌🏽⛈️⛈️⛈️🙌🏽

Check out Saints of Storm and Sorrow! Come for the epic lightning magic and sizzling bi love triangle romance, stay for drowning colonizers ⛈️🙌🏽🌊

Aren't you Tired of being Nice?

Good, Daughters is
NOT about: Healing from the trauma of youth and learning to forgive and forget

More: They broke our halos so we grew teeth- time to feed the ones who wronged us to the depths of the sea 🌊🐊🌊

Come meet Inez in Daughters of Flood and Fury

We all love: "I'd kill for you"

So how about: "I do not heal and I do not save, but whatever power I have it is yours. Let the tides turn and the seas roar. walk with me and the sea will rise on the wings of my Storm... Aynila won't mourn the death of monsters"

I'll be at @fullybookedph.bsky.social in conversation with Mica de leon talking all about my Filipino inspired epic fantasy duology on Oct 18 3-5pm. I hope to see you there! To celebrate Fully Booked is running a bookclub Giveaway head to their Insta to enter!

When the one the MC loved through the darkest times in their lives, who betrayed her, and everything they'd built, and is begging for forgiveness.... But some things can't be forgiven

I loved you. I'm sorry

I don't want to spoil by identifying the ship from Saints but if you know you know 🥲🥲🥲😭

And it won't ask you to cut yourself down to fit their mold. It won't need you to be small or quiet or happy for scraps.

I'm rooting for us all to find it. 3/3

Who learned they were only palatable and loved when they were young and innocent. But growing up is messy. Adulthood is hard. And it's even harder when you learn family support can be conditional.

Please know there is a love and acceptance out there for you
2/3

As Bi Visibility month comes to a close I wanted to leave you with this 💗💜💙

I wrote Saints of Storm and Sorrow for every queer mixed kid that grew up always feeling like they were too much and not enough for both sides of their family. Who tied themselves in knots to find a place they'd "fit". 1/3

Book 2 Lunurin is really attempting to be a good influence on her sister Inez, but Inez is here for the drama, and never saw a bad idea she didn't like 🤣😇🐊🐉🌊

The Stormbringer Duology is complete and now you can read my Filipino mythology epic fantasy except the Avatar is not a pacifist.

Meet Alon and Lunurin from Saints of Storm and Sorrow my Award nominated elemental epic fantasy that's like a Filipino mythology Avatar the Last Airbender - Except the Avatar is not a Pacifist.

Out now!

#Bookstagram #booktok #bookcosplay #marriageofconvenienc

and Vengeance burning in her eyes and a Typhoon brewing in her bones. Who will do ANYTHING for the ones she loves - even if she must topple empires into the sea

Not enemies to lovers BUT...

A Marriage of Convenience

Between a prince sworn to the all merciful Goddess of the Sea. A healer, bound by duty, prepared to sacrifice himself and everyone he loves to maintain the fragile peace in his half-conquered city

And a woman chosen by the Goddess of Storms

Inez from Daughters of Flood and Fury never met a problem she didn't try to solve by throwing herself into the sea 🌊🙌🏽🌊

A wet SOCK? In my training module?

Meet Lunurin and Alon from my debut epic fantasy duology the Stormbringer Saga. Come support Women's Wrongs as well as Women's Rights

Not exactly: "Who did this to you?" The MMC asks the injured FMC

MORE: The FMC in the center of the wreckage of the storm she called at the behest of the Goddess of Vengeance, touching the blood running down the side of the MMC's face asking,
"Did I do this?"

I know my readers hate her, but to me she's incredibly tragic. Doomed by her faith in an institution that will never keep her safe, but unable to see how to grow beyond it- even when it's destroying her. Art by @artiodaktyl

Vibes for your toxic Sapphic nuns?

When Forbidden love and Foreign faith are tearing you apart....

Will martyrdom bring the peace you crave?

Meet Catalina my favorite and most unlikable character from Saints of Storm and Sorrow.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

My author brand in a nutshell

But fake piety cannot save you forever and theold gods do not forget a promise.

My award nominated Filipino epic fantasy Saints of Storm and Sorrow and the thrilling conclusion Daughters of Flood and Fury are now out! You can listen to the audiobooks for free on Spotify Premium

My father is the worst man alive...and I'm his favorite daughter

Lunurin has been hiding in a convent from the goddess of storms who sings of drowning colonizers and the Inquisition who'd burn her for a witch, were she not the archbishop's illegitimate mestiza daughter...

So much can be said in so little. Its impossible not to start reading between the lines, the gulf between what empire cares about and what happened to people living under it

What a way to describe the entire resistance to the American colonial period in a single line before diving into sugar cane acreage. Its at once heart wrenching and the most American thing I've ever read

I've been researching WWII rice shortages in the Philippines for a novella, reading a pre-war American analysis of the Philippine Agricultural capacity now. AND I AM SCREAMING AT A PITCH AUDIBLE ONLY TO DOGS

"The economy grew despite difficulties with various agrarian uprisings."

...but old gods cannot be ignored forever
