Blog Tour | The Emerald Pep Rally

Back in April, I put together a thing called 소리질러 (Make Some Noise) Week for Scandalized, which was basically a teeny-tiny versionof an ARC sign-up + blog tour. It had been really fun, and I would’ve done the same for my latest releaseif I hadn’t been (figuratively) running around like a headless chicken since September. Welp.

Book Aesthetics | Settle the Score / Hustle Play

To say that I’ve been having a lot of fun making book aesthetics for my titles is an understatement. Recently, I’ve stumbled upon an Instagram profile template on Behance and had fun playing with it! Settle the Score / Hustle Play.

Important Note: The personalities included in these photos are image pegs and are not, in any way, connected to me or the aforementioned book. (I wish they are, though. I mean… they’re awesome.)

Deleted Scenes | Non-Disclosure Agreement from Scandalized

In the past, I’ve made the mistake of deleting paragraphs upon paragraphs from my manuscript when I felt like I didn’t want them there anymore. Sometimes I forget and do this when I edit/revise, but I’d like to think I’m a bit wiser now.

You see, erasing scenesfrom our stories doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad. I mean, there must be some reason you wrote themdown in the first place, right? Maybe they’re not pushing the story forward, or they look out of place. Maybe you’ve found a better w...

#FeelsFest: Spending Saturday in My Happy Place

video Chi Yu Rodriguez

I’m not sure where to start with this blog post, to be honest, because I feel like I haven’t fully recovered from what happened last Saturday. But first things first: October 22nd was #FeelsFest day, a #romanceclass event held at the Glorietta 5 Atrium from 12 noon to 6 in the evening. There were books (lots of them–20 NEW TITLES in total!), cute merch (stickers, bookmarks, shirts, bags, mugs, decals), fun games, and, most importantly, the live readings.

The live readi...
