It’s Pio Season!

August 2, 2025 No Comments

Hey guys, it’s Leo Season…but also PIO SEASON!

Have you met my sweet, charming, flirtatious boy Pio Alvez? I heard he’s quite the ladies’ man, and he captures hearts just like that. Well, here’s your chance to meet him! Like Nobody’s Watching is on sale on Amazon for the whole month of August!

It’s all fun and games until someone catches feelings.

If there’s something Pio Alvez is good at, it’s pretending to be someone he’s not. On stage and on-screen, the actor has mastered the art of becoming the characters he plays, and his new role should be no different. After all, how difficult would it be to pretend to be smitten with a beautiful, intelligent go-getter like Audrey Alonzo?

Perhaps it’s more difficult pretending not to be.

Get the book here.

I’m also uploading a chapter a day on Wattpad so you’re going to be able to read it there for free. Check it out here.

The $1.99 promo and free version on Wattpad will be up until August 31, 2025.

Happy reading!

My Work

Waiting in the Wings is having a special illustrated cover!

July 28, 2025 No Comments

For a few weeks now, I have been working on this special project with a local artist named rwiizo, whom I met at Komiket Market! Market! in May. I was browsing through the many stalls at the event and was instantly taken by his art style. I asked him if he was open to handling cover commissions, and he said yes, so I followed him on his IG account and had a look at his body of work while I decided which book I wanted him to sprinkle his magic on.

And then I decided it should be Waiting in the Wings. Because why not?

3 Takeaways from the Connect the Hearts blog tour!

July 25, 2025 No Comments

So back in May, I sought the help of a wonderful group of bookish ladies who call themselves BookLoverTitas to organize a book tour for my latest release, Connect the Hearts. The tour ran from June 7 to 18, with 12 bookish titas participating, and they did such an amazing job. They kept me on my toes, anticipating their posts every day, and I loved that they enjoyed the book a lot.

I’d been holding off on actually posting about this because we were supposed to have a face-to-face meetup last weekend and I wanted to include photos of us on this post. But alas, the weather put a damper on our plans and we had to reschedule.

Anyway, this post is long overdue, so let me just do it before laziness gets a hold of me. These are my 3 Takeaways from the Connect the Hearts Book Tour:

Connect the Hearts is on tour!

June 12, 2025 No Comments

Finally had the brain cells to do something to promote my latest book, Connect the Hearts, and it’s a book tour in collaboration with Book Lover Titas on Instagram!

Book Lover Titas is a growing Instagram community of titas who share a love for reading. Founded in 2020, Book Lover Titas conduct various activities such as monthly book discussions, bookish events and hangouts, and collaborations with local publishers and authors, all to foster a warm and welcoming experience among tita book lovers.

I first met one of their members, Krystine, when she attended a #RomanceClass event last year, and again, this year when she and another Book Lover Titas member, Tess, came to our #BlushBooks x Fully Booked event last February. In March, I also met Diane who visited the #RomanceClass booth at the 2025 Philippine Book Festival. They’ve been so warm and supportive not just of #RomanceClass authors, but also of other Filipino authors, so I decided to get in touch with them to see if they’d be interested in hosting a book tour for Connect the Hearts. They said YES! and now here we are, almost on the second week of the book tour that started on June 7.

I’m sharing some of their posts below, but first, take advantage of this ebook sale for Connect the Hearts! The book is only $1.99 (original price $4.99) until June 20, so it’s time to one-click the book and share this with your romance book loving friends!

And now, here’s what our Book Lover Titas have to say about Connect the Hearts:
