Today marks the official first day of promotional rounds for my debut novella, “DAISUKI.”! First day is the promotional blurb for this romance about lesbian love in Japan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Aiko and Reina have been together for almost 20 years, yet one thing remains unsaid between them: “Daisuki”, or, “I love you”. As they approach their anniversary, their relationship comes to an impasse as Aiko the Japanese housewife begins demanding “I love you” with a side of marriage and romance. <\/p>\n

But Reina doesn’t understand complex concepts like “love” or other heavy emotions. She’s spent years supporting her girlfriend via a soul-sucking salary job and tending to their mutual needs in the bedroom. Isn\u2019t that sufficient? In a culture demanding Reina choose between the “feminine” and the “masculine” worlds, it’s bad enough she’s trying to find her role without Aiko adding extra pressure.<\/i><\/div>\n


Some words need not saying, but “I love you” is about to destroy a relationship already surviving strange side-lovers and even stranger exploits.<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I can’t believe it’s the first day already! Next day of promotions will be the cover reveal on September 1st! But you may be getting a preview sooner than that…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, soon it’ll be September 28th, and I’ll realize I have yet to do final edits \/ convert crap into mobi and epub. Let’s be real, this is my life. <\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
