Kindle deal for June: Like Nobody’s Watching

No Comments

Hello, hello friends! While we’re waiting for the release of #ProjectIsagani, I’d like to invite you to get to know Isagani Alvez’ youngest brother, Pio, through his book, Like Nobody’s Watching!

Like Nobody’s Watching is a fake dating romance between Pio, a charming TV/film actor and Audrey, a feisty advertising creative nursing a broken heart. The ruse begins when Audrey asks Pio to be her date to a company party, wanting to show her cheating ex-boyfriend (who is hosting the party) that she has moved on.

Like Nobody’s Watching is only $0.99 on Amazon until June 30! Get your copy today.

Hello, I’m looking for ARC readers!

No Comments

I feel like I’ve been talking about this book forever, but I have been working on it for forever (six years on and off, actually), and now I’m finally really really close to releasing it!

The book I’m talking about is #ProjectIsagani (actual book title to be revealed soon), AKA the book where Pio (Like Nobody’s Watching) and Datu’s (Keeping Miss Kalila) big brother gets his HEA. I’m planning to release it mid-August and I’m looking for ARC readers!

This book is for you if you are into contemporary romance and:

  • Filipino characters in their 30s (she’s 36, he’s 37)
  • eldest children of Filipino families and their emotional journeys
  • awkward meet-cutes that turn into friendship, then something more
  • a fitness buff hero who helps the heroine get in shape for an upcoming date but ends up falling for her
  • a forever single heroine who thinks her workout buddy is completely out of her league

Are you the person I’m looking for? If so, please sign up for an ARC here. Please take note of the CWs and other details on the page.

Applications will be screened and approved applicants will be receiving the ARC around the end of June or early July 2026.

Thank you very much in advance, and I can’t wait to share Isagani’s story with you all! <3

Another #RomanceClass covers shoot, done and dusted!

No Comments

I organized another #RomanceClass covers shoot after almost three years, and it was so much fun (as usual)! đź©·

So backstory: When I started conceptualizing Isagani’s book as early as 2018, I had another actor in mind for the cover. (Yung mga OG Alvez fans diyan, alam niyo na.) Unfortunately, I didn’t get a response from him when I reached out. Hindi ko na rin na-follow up kasi libro pa ni Datu ang sinusulat ko nun.

Fast forward to 2025, I was making significant progress with the book and really had to look for someone to be my cover kuya.

I’ve got two Kindle book deals for you!

No Comments

Hey, hey! Just popping in here quickly to say I’ve got two Kindle book deals happening right now, because I’m celebrating the 1st book birthday of Connect the Hearts, and today is World Theatre Day! Check out the details below:

Waiting in the Wings
$1.99 on Amazon until Sunday, March 31

At twenty-three, theatre actress Erin Javier has yet to fall in love or kiss a boy offstage, away from the klieg lights. She is the perfect leading lady—whose heart men would fight for, win, and protect—unfortunately, only until the curtains fall and the lights go down. In real life, Erin is a certified NBSB whose heart has been hoping for a song to dance to.

But when two (two!) men enter from stage left and right, Erin is confused. Who deserves to take center stage in her heart—Mr. Theatre Royalty whose attention and displays of affection make her pulse race, or a good friend whose steady support has helped steer her to success and fulfill her dream?

Buy it here.

 

Connect the Hearts: a short story collection
$1.99 on Amazon until Tuesday, March 31.

Connect the Hearts is a collection of four short stories that explore the many ways we find, forge, and foster our relationships using the technology available to us.

Tech Week Makes the Heart Grow Fonder is about Erin and Ramon (Waiting in the Wings) navigating a semi-long distance relationship for a week when they work on separate theatre productions in busy, traffic-riddled Metro Manila.

In Best Days Ever, an invitation to celebrate a dog’s last day on earth reunites childhood friends David and Gita, who now live starkly different lives thousands of miles apart.

Forever-busy talent manager Cleo Gascon meets an unexpected match in Finding Mr. Swipe Right when she goes on a rage-swiping spree upon learning her date wasn’t going to show up.

And finally, Happy Endings Please, and Thank You has Pio and Audrey (Like Nobody’s Watching) checking in on each other during the 2020 lockdown via video call. (This is the script to Episode 4 of #RomanceClass’ Hello Ever After series produced in 2020.)

Buy it here.

Please feel free to share this with your friends or anyone you think would like to add one of both of these titles in their library. Thank you very much! <3
