FREE EBOOK: Paper Planes Back Home

January 18, 2017 No Comments

My first published novel, Paper Planes Back Home, is turning two next month! But aside from the occasion of its second birthday, I’m again giving away free copies of the book for another reason–it makes a sort-of cameo in my upcoming book, Waiting in the Wings!

If you haven’t read the book yet but want to and don’t have a copy of your own, click on the image above and download the book FREE! This offer is good until January 22 only, so make the most out of it.

Feel free to share!

Here’s the Goodreads page for Paper Planes Back Home. Hope you can give me a rating/review when you finish reading the book, and thank you in advance! <3

Interviews

Design Talk: Book Cover Edition feat. Tania Arpa

January 6, 2017 No Comments

First and foremost, let me greet all of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! ^_^ I hope 2017 will be fruitful, productive and blessed for all of us! <3

Secondly, I will admit I dropped the ball on this one. Design Talk should’ve been done ages ago, but ~things happened, so everything kinda got put in the backburner. (I know, excuses.) But anyway, Design Talk is back–this time featuring a quick interview with Tania Arpa!

I’m proud to say I had the opportunity to have a book cover designed by Tania back in 2015 (why does that seem so long ago?) when I won the #StrangeLit Long-ish Form Challenge. She was the designer responsible for the cover of The “Forget You” Brew, and is also credited for some of Jay E. Tria and Mina V. Esguerra‘s book covers. Suffice to say, if you’re familiar with #romanceclass books, you’re probably going to know who Tania Arpa is. Interview after the jump!

#RomanceClass Made My Wish Come True!

December 16, 2016 No Comments

I distinctly remember that afternoon in June when Ana Tejano mentioned planning for a #romanceclass Christmas anthology. Without even asking for any other details, I said I’m all for it, let’s do it, go!

We didn’t know yet then that we were going to have a SURPRISE!event at Trinoma the next month, or a booth (A BOOTH!) and an event (AN EVENT!) at the Manila International Book Fair in September. And we certainly weren’t even seriously planning October’s #FeelsFest yet back then. All those three events kind of threw us authors for a loop, and before we knew it, Christmas anthology deadlines were only two weeks away! (HAHAHA. HA. HA.)

But hey, what do you know? We actually made it. <3 And boy, did it feel awesome!

Here are some photos from last week’s Make My Wish Come True launch:

Your #RomanceClass Christmas Shopping Guide! (Part 1)

November 26, 2016 No Comments

I’ve always thought books are the best gifts. (There’s also food, but that’s not the point.) Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been excited by the prospect of receiving books as gifts for any occasion, and I know there are people in your life who would squee at the thought of unwrapping their presents and finding brand spanking new books for them to read and treasure.

Which is why I put together this very special shopping guide for those of you who are looking to buy your family members or friends new, Filipino-authored romance books in English for Christmas. Or maybe you want to create your own wishlist, that’s cool too!

Take a look at these #romanceclass titles I’ve sorted according to different categories. And as you window shop, please take note of the following:

MC = main character
LI = love interest
