Yeah, that's fair. It's probably one of the better, more spacious cons, but it is busy.

Yeah. I must say, I really like it. It's got a great vibe. Might actually come again if I can make it.

And that's my Emerald City Comiccon. Last signing over, I'm back in the hotel room getting ready to go to Portland.

Signing tomorrow at Powell's books! I cannot explain how cool that is, if you haven't been to the store, it's amazing.

Only way to get the books before it releases on Tuesday.

In just three days, The First Step officially releases into the world. From indie beginnings to its traditional release, this story has walked a long road and now it’s almost time for the next chapter!

Didn't upload everything. A little more.

Been terrible updating here, but some photos from Emerald City Comiccon. Got one more signing tomorrow (today) at Penguin Random House's booth at 4pm. Then that's my con.

Here's drive photos of panels, lines and cool stuff.

Can't wait to see it out

We're down to the final days to preorder The First Step, and if you're on the fence, here are some reasons why you should jump on it!

Thank you! Really looking forward to getting this one out.

I have a new deal announcement! The Blade That Remains will be released in 2027. Super excited for everyone to read this! It's a story I've been working on for years that is quite close to the heart.

Problem with traveling to the west coast - timezone lags. I'm wide awake at 6.30am PST, and was up even earlier.

At least it gives me a chance to work, and get some words down. At least, that's the plan.

Preorders are still open over at Yu&Me Books!

If you went to Yu & Me and didn't think they shipped, please rest assured that they do ship across the US and internationally. The page has now been updated to reflect this!

Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to share your thoughts. Word of mouth is powerful, and you’re helping more readers discover Wu Ying’s journey into cultivation.

Waiting for my flight to Seattle to go to Emerald City Comiccon (ECC). Got two panels tomorrow and the day after, and signings right after and on Saturday at the PRH booth.

Hopefully see you all around.

Going to be traveling today, so got to focus and get enough words down, I can ignore whether I get enough written for the week.

Not going to happen, of course, but a man can dream.

Here they are, the first arc of A Thousand Li altogether.

The beginning of Wu Ying’s journey. The early training. The first rivalries. The foundation of everything that comes next.

Thank you for all the support on this journey from the very first step to now. It truly means the world.

Thank you! And yeah, hopefully we do the East coast at some point!

Nice! Thank you.

They're such a radical departure too, which is why I like them. It's all kinds of pretty too.

By the way, make sure to grab the first book from the library, so you get to read the short on Fa Yuan!
