About
I am an Asian & Black historical fantasy author of The Secrets of Tarot Series and Any Way the Wind Blows. Inspired by East and Southeast Asian mythology, my stories typically feature female, Asian protagonists and incorporate common xianxia and wuxia themes.My stories explore important topics, such as Asian diaspora & xenophobia, trauma, mental health stigmas, standards of beauty in Asian culture, identity & self-confidence, and racism, discrimination, & bias.I have a B.A. in Spanish and M.S. in Criminology & Criminal Justice, with a specialization in crime analysis and geographic information systems. I currently run three profiles on Wattpad, where I strive to uplift the voices of authors who specialize in Asian and Pacific Islander Fantasy & Fiction (APIFantasy, APIRomance, and MythandLegend).When I'm not writing, I enjoy watching Asian dramas with my husband & eating dim sum with my mother and younger brother.
