Ever wonder what Lia and Kieren from my Light and Fire Series look like?

What do you think of character sketches? 

Some readers are really good at finding different models or actors to imagine as book characters. Personally, I don't picture anyone in particular when I read novels. My brain just doesn't work that way. I usually just get a general sense for how people look.

Maybe that's why I get so excited when I see character boards or character sketches. I love seeing artist's interpretations and admiring their skills.

Light and Fire Character Art:

These sketches of Lia and Kieren, the two main characters from my Light and Fire series, were done by my talented author/artist friend, Elena Shelst. Aren't they incredible?

I'm grateful for her skills and the way her art makes my characters come to life!


Want to further immerse yourself in the Light and Fire series?


Happy reading, friends!

Reflections on my Half-Blood Mage Cover + Diversity in YA fantasy Novels

My debut novel,  Half-Blood Mage  is finally out!  To celebrate, I thought I'd give you a sneak peek into some of the decisions I made along the way... especially the decisions regarding Lia's race and my cover design.  Should Lia be Asian? Honestly, I debated whether to make Lia Asian at all. Her "Asian-ess" (in this case, I imagined her to be half-Taiwanese, half-Caucasian) doesn't really have anything to do with her story. She doesn't speak another language. I don't really bring up her multiracial upbringing that often. And her mixed-background isn't super important to her story arc. Lia could honestly look like anyone. Or have any background. The only key feature she needed to have was heterochromia.  But here's the reason why I made Lia Asian: I'm Asian. My parents are originally from Taiwan. And I married an Asian man. So I've experienced life through a very Asian American perspective.  Su

New Book Cover!

The Dating Pact is finally out! I'm so excited to share Everly and Wyatt's story with all of you. (And it got a new, illustrated cover. Isn't it pretty?) While I loved the old cover, I thought this illustrated one would show the light-hearted humor in my story. What do you think? And in writing news- I'll be on a short writing break for a few weeks while my family moves to our new home. Once we settle in, I'll plot Joy and Aiden's story . (It's guaranteed to be sweet and slightly spicy.) Hope you have a great summer!
