Hi Toula,
It's great to hear from you! I am about to release book two in my series The Many Lives of Wolf titled HIS NAME IS JUNSAKU. Here's a brief summary:
In a land steeped in honour and tradition, where samurai warriors clash in brutal battles and the shogunate wields supreme power, Junsaku Aoyama senses his destiny: He will be Japan's greatest samurai.
As Junsaku pursues his dreams, he finds his heart changed forever when he sees a Lithuanian woman disembark a Dutch merchant ship. From that moment on, he struggles to balance his loyalty to Japan's rulers with his love for his family, and even the ominous warnings from a ghost shrouded in black may not be enough to protect those he holds most dear.
I'll be officially releasing the book on 3rd March, 2025. It's historical fantasy, adventure, romance, and magical realism, and honestly I'm really proud of this novel and hope readers will enjoy it.
Are you working on anything new?

Hi Tenkara, I was really touched during the part of the book where Wolf meets an Aboriginal Australian and realizes that he has a racist/prejudiced conception of them because of his father. That chapter was brief but very powerful. I'd love to know what your process was like in writing about that? Any plans to delve deeper into anti-Aborigine racism in future books?
