Well, it took 21 years, but my fantasy adventure novel "Where the Sakura Bloom" is finally complete. It truly is the end of an era. I began writing this novel in April of 2004, and finished it in April of 2025. Wild to think about. But I'm really happy (and relieved) that it's finished.
          
          Thank you to the three people actively reading it. I appreciate you! This incredibly low number of readers does show me, however, that I will never be successful on Wattpad, so this might be my last story here. We'll see. I've done all I can do.

Absolutely missing you during this ONC season!

If you're looking for a heartfelt, feel-good, slice of life story about two people that feel so real you'll swear you know them, you must give "Mind the Gap" by @EvelynHail a read! Over the course of this unique story (told from the perspectives of the adorably opposite Iris and Evan), I experienced every emotion in my spectrum, and I left the story's end with a light heart and a big dopey smile. Well done, Evelyn! This book is one of a kind! ❤️

Hey Girl!! Guess what? You won something. Congratulationssssss. I am sooooooo Happy. Like screaming happy.

I recently had the opportunity to finish "Freakshow Friday" by the incredibly talented @bigfivedonaldduckfan. This novel is a sequel to "Witchcraft Wednesday," which won a 2024 Watty Award (so, make sure you read that book first — it's well worth your time!)
           #WW was everything I love in a novel: fully fleshed-out relatable characters, an easy to follow yet intriguing storyline, some scares, some shocks, some laughs, some amazing WTF moments, and a whole lot of heart! Yet, somehow, #FF did it better. I didn't think it was possible, but the sequel far surpassed the original, keeping all the likable components, but amplifying them, and adding some new ones that I didn't know I needed until the words were on the page in front of me.
          
          I'll give no spoilers, but this is one of the best books I've read on Wattpad. Period. A true masterpiece. Trust me, you need some Jamie & Nathan in your life! ✨️✨️

Hi there, Mar! It's been a while. Again, haha. I've been swamped with work, so I'm super grateful for the year-end break approaching! Can't wait to catch up on my favorite book, “Where The Sakura Bloom”! 
          
          I'm really glad to see you've taken some time for yourself and hope you're doing well. ❤️
          
          It breaks my heart to read your profile description. Have you ever thought about sharing some of your work on Ko-fi for small donations? (I am not very familiar with it, but I have come across writers/artists who use it.) And I bet you have readers who would love to support you! 
          
          If you do look into it and decide to give it a go, let us know! Beautifully crafted stories deserve appreciation, especially considering the time and effort you pour into every chapter. 

Hey, Mar. I was just on my way here to say hi because I haven't talked to you for a while and saw you're on hiatus. Hope all's well!

Hi Mar! I recently finished your Rose and Tommy story, how did you create your cover for the book? I can’t seem to grasp how to fade them in with each other! x
