It’s the Spring of 2023! Here are my plans for this season.
The Architect’s Guardian: I’ll be publishing a new series soon! Awakening is the first novel of my sci-fi m/m romance that will be out in Summer 2023. I’ve commissioned the book cover and will do a cover reveal closer to publication.
The Agitator’s Code World: In The Agitator’s Code Series, which I completed in November 2022, I introduced characters from a special program. The third novel of the series, Tildari Sunrises, provided much more information about those in the program. I have several stories in development, including one about Ariston and Reimon.
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is an anime romcom series, based on a manga. The show can be streamed on several services, including Crunchyroll and Hulu. Let’s dive into what makes this one of my favorite shows.
Animation: Incredibly creative animation that plays with perspectives.
Cast: The voice actors sound like they’re having the absolute best time of their lives.
Story: This show has so many layers. On the surface it’s a battle of wills between two stubborn characters. Part of the fun is exploring the clues of what’s really happening. Also, a fair amount of pop references are peppered throughout the series.
I plan to read the manga, to get an even fuller experience. In the meantime, I’m excited about the movie. Hopefully, there will also be more seasons!
Since I’ve completed The Agitator’s Code Series, my focus is on publishing Awakening this summer. It will be book one in The Architect’s Guardian, a new exciting sci-fi series.
The main characters in this m/m romance are Armando Medina and Izdahl Amasi. While they were close during their childhood, tragic circumstances separated them. As a result, they must navigate difficult paths. The series explores how strongly connected they are, what they’re willing to do for each other, and the impact they’ll have on their society. At the center of the chaos is a mystery about Armando and his family.
One of my favorite parts of writing is worldbuilding. That’s definitely the case with this series. Humans aren’t on Earth. They’re on Planet Ghenza, home to the Nitelvosa. The Nitelvosa are imposing beings who fly, wield the elements, and perform various types of magic. Some Nitelvosa are much more powerful than others, and not all are in favor of Humans. In addition, the Nitelvosa have conflicts among themselves that are held in check by shaky truces.
Izdahl comes from a prominent Nitelvosa family, while Armando is from a Human family that sought more societal influence. How will Armando and Izdahl navigate tricky internal and external conflicts? Find out soon!
Be on the lookout for my cover reveal and a pre-order link.
It’s the Winter of 2022! Here are my plans for this season.
The Architect’s Guardian: This sci-fi, m/m romance series is now my priority. I’m revising Awakening, the first book. I’ve scheduled publishing for Summer 2023.
The Agitator’s Code World: In The Agitator’s Code Series, which I completed in November 2022, I introduced some characters I’d like to develop further. I’ll share more details later. ^_^

The Architect’s Guardian: I’m so happy about the progress I’m making with revising Awakening, the first book of this sci-fi m/m romance series. I plan to publish book one in the summer of 2023.
I’m excited to reveal my cover for Tildari Sunrises! This is the third and final book in my sci-fi m/m romance series, The Agitator’s Code. I’d like to thank Deranged Doctor Design, the incredible team who created the cover.
KinnPorsche The Series is an action-packed drama that also balances angst with comedy. The show started airing in April 2022 and wrapped in early July 2022. It became incredibly popular. All the attention is well-deserved. I don’t see that popularity waning.
The main characters of the show are Kinn Theerapanyakun, played by Mile Phakphum Romsaithong and Porsche Kittisawat, played by Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat. This was my first time seeing these actors’ work and they were incredible in their roles.
Now that the dust has settled, I’m going to delve into the series. There’s so much to explore and enjoy:
Characters – Kinn and Porsche head up the crew, but there are many other notable characters. These include Kinn’s older and younger brothers, Tankhun and Kim respectively. There’s also Vegas, one of the main antagonists, who’s often a few steps ahead of many other characters.
Story – KPTS features some of my favorite tropes, including Forced Proximity, Found Family, and Hurt/Comfort. (These are the main tropes I wrote in my male/male romance series, The Agitator’s Code.) Kinn is a mafia boss and Porsche becomes his bodyguard, giving the show a morally gray center. Just the foundation of the relationship prompts viewers to explore the complexity of Kinn and Porsche being together.
Soundtrack – PhiangWaichai, by Slot Machine, as well as Free Fall, by Slot Machine are featured. These songs have the same tune with similar messages. I immediately added them to a playlist and often find myself listening to them. Other music includes Why Don’t You Stay, by Jeff Satur, who also portrays Kim. Even the incidental music is evocative. It perfectly helps to solidify the mood of each scene, especially during the private time between Kinn and Porsche.
The series is basically “the gift that keeps giving” because of the bountiful behind the scenes content. There are also fan-made videos as odes to this incredible couple.
This show is definitely worth more than one watch. The best part is that it’s short, at only 14 episodes. So, it’s easy to dive in and enjoy the chaotic duo of Kinn and Porsche.
