 Good Morning:      I uploaded both book trailers for the final books in my short story series,  Heart of The Current  and  Endsong of Dragons . I will change my book promotion strategies in the future when I publish new work. There's room for me to play around with it and try new stuff.  Excerpt: Heart of the Current: Chapter 1: Moving Day The skyline of Avalon glittered against the soft pink hues of early evening, the Ivory Spire’s towering buildings reflecting the last gold rays of the sun. Lyra wiped sweat from her brow, rolling her shoulders as she leaned against the open trunk of her car. Her sons’ new apartments loomed ahead, modern, sleek, untouched by time—unlike her. She watched as her twin boys—Kai and Ren—lugged boxes up the stone steps, their laughter threading through the air like the last remnants of childhood slipping away. The moment was supposed to feel triumphant. Instead, a dull ache curled in her chest. They were leaving h...

  Whispers of Wild Flame is the second book in the Dragon’s Breath, Human Heart short story series, a dark fantasy saga set in the city of Avalon—where dragons are real, power is feared, and fire never truly sleeps. If Book One was about awakening, Book Two is about what happens after the fire is seen . Official Blurb: The fire never truly died. Two years after the fall of the last Dragon Protector, Varesa Nordstorm lives in the ashes of what was once a peaceful life. Her perfume shop stands as a hollow monument to the woman she used to be. Now, the Fire Dragon inside her stirs, restless and wild. The city of Avalon pulses with danger as whispers of ancient power ripple through its streets—and the Draco Venatores, relentless dragon hunters, draw ever closer. When a brutal attack forces Varesa to unleash the dragon within, she is thrust into a war she can no longer ignore. With Clarissa Edinborough gone and a new Dragonborn awakening in the shadows, Varesa must gather the remaini...

  Call the Name of the Night (Vols. 1–3) — A Gentle Spell for the Overstimulated Soul By Mitsuboshi Tama There are stories that entertain, and then there are stories that feel like they gently take your hand and walk you back to the softest parts of yourself. Call the Name of the Night lives firmly in the second category. By the end of volume three, I felt like I’d taken a quiet walk through moonlit forests, old libraries, and the kind of magic that doesn’t explode or conquer — it simply exists . And somehow, that makes it feel more powerful. The art is beautifully stylized and dreamy, leaning more toward atmospheric fantasy than flashy spectacle. It reminds me of the emotional stillness of Studio Ghibli — that sense of pausing, breathing, and letting magic sit beside you instead of fight for attention. There’s also a soft, comforting hint of “magic school energy,” but it’s gentler, warmer, and more soul-centered than anything bombastic. What I love most is the emotional text...

 I did have a Youtube Channel this year with 2 book trailers uploaded on it. My plan was to create book trailers (because they are the cutest idea for me as a writer) and it will help me learn video editing software, like DaVinci Resolve . It's free and has lots of bells and whistles--and a learning curve--more like steep and majestic mountains for me. I use Microsoft's Powerpoint Program to create the trailers, but I also want to draw more.  Clip Studio Paint  will help me with coloring and adding fun purikura (Print Club) elements to my book covers and other illustrations for my future books. I am not a professional artist, but I want to include little doodles in my work.  So I think restarting my channel will help out with this, and I need to have things to do so I won't feel so sad all the time. I also have tons of gaming footage that I want to share so I can clear out PC and Playstation 5 storage. So if you like video games, I may play something you may want to ...
