Do It Like A Boss

Nina (7 year-old) : Mom. You think I’m
awesome?


Me (answers truthfully and passionately) :
Of course, honey.


Nina : Yeah, I thought so too. I am pretty awesome.


Fact : Self-confidence has never been an
issue with her.


Moral : If you want to do something, be
something, feel something, don't hesitate. Just go out there and do it like a boss!

A story of THANKS on Thanksgiving

When I decided to publish MY LEA, I've never thought I would need to publish it in different formats other than eBook.


Then one day, I stared at my bookshelf and couldn’t
help imagining how great it would feel to have my own copy of MY LEA sitting on
the shelf along with the rest of the books from my favorite authors. I decided to make the paperback—just one
copy—for myself. Yes, I’m vain

Nevertheless, I can tell you this. Always start with something that’s
important to you. It doesn’t have to be grand or out-of-this-world proportions.
You can get inspiration from the tiniest thing around you. And creation

MY LEA Release Day

My Lea, my debut novel is released worldwide TODAY! I’m officially an
indie author and proud to be one. I imagine holding out a toast. “Here is to
FIRST step.”


This is a monumental moment for me, both as
a person as well as an author. As you might know, English is not my first language.
It took me two hours to write this post; it took me three years to write a
full-length novel in English.

MY LEA COVER REVEAL

Finally!
After waiting for like three months—I know because I’ve been counting—the cover is finally revealed! Finally, my book has a 'face'.

I’m so glad that my old friend, a very talented illustrator, Evelyn agreed to help me out with the cover art. The cover represents everything that is in the story: the lemonade metaphor, the color (lemon yellow and sugar white), the guy’s face and the
