So, yes, I’m still alive. I know it’s been months, but hey, I’m back! And with exciting news.
Prior to announcing the release of the second installment of my urban fantasy series, I did a thing…and that’s to give Bloodline Maharlika a new look!
Update: Book 2 of the Bloodline Series & a Mecha Fic
Whew! It’s been quite a while since I last updated the blog, but now it’s time to remedy that! Things have been crazy busy, but not too busy enough to write. I’m very excited to announce that book 2 of the Bloodline series is on its way to being published soon-ish! Here are some things to expect in Bloodline Magiting:
The Thing About Hoarding Books on Philippine Mythology
Ever since I joined the #StrangeLit workshop and wrote Bloodline Maharlika, I’ve been on a quest to get my hands on every reference book pertaining to Philippine mythology, history, and folklore. Acquiring these books took effort not just on the financial side, but on the logistics aspect as well. I consider myself lucky if I find one in mint condition or wrapped in plastic. I had to actively look for them book stores, but most of the time I’d find them in a dusty, forgotten corner, abandoned and ignored with creased pages and torn covers. Sometimes I’d go out of my way to brick-and-mortar book shops and I’d find rare gems. And there are moments when I’d score the last copy in mainstream book stores.
Cover Reveal: Bloodline Maharlika
I should be promoting the heck out of Reader Con happening this weekend, BUT this is just one thing I need to share before I go crazy.
So, do you remember this?
I finally, FINALLY have a cover that makes me proud to call this book my “baby”.
Say hello to the new Bloodline Maharlika cover:
Thank you to my super awesome cover artist Robert Wong for bringing Owenn Magpantay to life. Every time I look at it, I am just washed over by a tidal wave of feels. And it also reminds me that I need to finish book 2, stat! Haha.
I’ll be selling Bloodline Maharlika along with my other books at the Filipino Reader Con this Saturday! If you’d like to get a copy, you can fill out the order form. 🙂
