COVER REVEAL: Second Wave Summer

Cover Reveal Personal The Writing Community April 30, 2018April 30, 2018 by tarafrejas

Sometime in the future, I feel like no one’s going to believe Jay, Six, and me when we say we have nothing up our sleeves. But honest to god, we really didn’t have one until mid-February (unlike the time we were planning Summer Crush, which went on for almost a year) and we were even doubtful we’d …

COVER REVEAL: Scandalized 2.0

Cover Reveal The Writing Community April 6, 2018April 5, 2018 by tarafrejas

Can you believe it’s already April? *insert shocked emoji here* I mean, where did the first quarter of the year go? For sure, I was busy with work mostly, adjusting to the new hours and learning a lot of new stuff. I honestly haven’t created a dent in my writing schedule just yet, but I’m …

Once Upon a Project

Personal Projects Writing August 30, 2017August 30, 2017 by tarafrejas

When I released Waiting in the Wings in February, I had no idea I would be writing a spin-off novel so soon. Honestly, I already had plans for a second book in the same universe, but it wasn’t top priority on my writing calendar. (Yes, I have one. :P) And then, #AprilFeelsDay2017 and a certain theatre actor …

Relive Summer Crush With Gio and Gab!

Projects The Writing Community Videos July 29, 2017July 29, 2017 by tarafrejas

Back in April, Jay, Six, and I released this summer music festival anthology called Summer Crush, something we had a lot of fun putting together. (Exhausting too, but all worth it.) As a special gift to those who bought the book, we also produced live reading videos featuring excerpts from each of our stories, and we …

Love Songs: Waiting in the Wings

Peripherals Personal Projects Writing June 23, 2017August 31, 2017 by tarafrejas

I love love songs. I mean, I love songs in general, but I’m a sucker for passionate well-written love songs, and I believe we have plenty of that in OPM (Original Pilipino Music). Including some of my favorites in Waiting in the Wings was such a fun thing to do, but also a little daunting, only because I …

NIGHTMARE CABIN is an interactive suspense thrille NIGHTMARE CABIN is an interactive suspense thriller with two different narrative arcs. I wrote this as a weekly contest entry for @dorian.live, and it was both a fun and tiring experience lol 🤣 It was my first time creating and finishing a one-shot interactive story in less than a week, and I'm pretty proud of the end result. If you're on the #Dorian app, I hope you give Nightmare Cabin a try! (And do leave comments as you go along, please! ❤ Thank you!)

Three weeks ago, I was in a #RomanceClass Podcast Three weeks ago, I was in a #RomanceClass Podcast episode with fellow authors Dawn Lanuza, Jay E. Tria, and Six de los Reyes where we talked about rockstars—why we like them, why we write them in our books, how we like our rockstars, and more. In this clip I talk about meeting forner Sugarfree frontman Ebe Dancel for the first time after one of his gigs a few years back.

“Erin, I’m not going to get that part, okay? I “Erin, I’m not going to get that part, okay? I’m almost 100% sure they’re not going to give it to me no matter how—”

“How do you know?” Erin was getting upset. He knew by the way the tip of her nose slowly turned a bright shade of pink. If he failed to get his shit together, he knew her cheeks would soon turn crimson. 

“Listen. I’m just not the type.”

“Who said that?”

“Every director I auditioned for?”

“Well, they’re wrong,” she said, the conviction in her voice so strong he was almost convinced she spoke the truth. “Ramon, I know that a lot of us have to deal with a hundred ‘nos’ before we’re given a chance on that stage, but that doesn’t mean we should give up fighting for the ‘yeses.’ What you’re doing now—that’s giving up, and I’m not going to let you do that to yourself.”

WAITING IN THE WINGS (2017) // Available on Amazon, Apple Books, B&N, Kobo, Overdrive, and Scribd. Paperback copies for PH residents may be purchased via tarafrejas.com or romanceclassbooks.com.

I haven't played a lot of #AnimalCrossing since ar I haven't played a lot of #AnimalCrossing since around September of last year, but I picked the game up again on my birthday and did a huge revamp of my island. I missed my Lakambini villagers (said goodbye to Audie, said hello to Julian), and I also missed being able to create something in this manner. My island is far from finished, but at least I don't hate it anymore when I look at it! 🤣 Here are some snapshots I took recently. 🥰
