I did not think having a physical version of my novellas was a big deal…but when I got home yesterday and opened that box and saw 25 copies of my book with the beautiful cover designed by @vincentnijman, my heart was on fire.

I FUCKING DID IT!

I created something that I absolutely love! I made something that looks and feels amazing. It doesn’t matter that it’s not perfect, it’s everything I want it to be!

82 pages of passion and pain, a journey into the soul of a character who is essentially me in an alternate timeline. It expresses the magic that I see in life and also the pain it took to discover that magic!

Why does it feel so good to hold in my hand?

I released 1.1 digitally on 3/15/2021 and part 1.2 on 3/1/2022. I’d like to release 1.3 digitally before the year is finished.

Here is a sneak peak:

Since I live in Japan and now there is a physical copy, I feel more motivated to seek out a translator and local self-publishing company. Most people in Japan don’t speak English after all.

They cost $3.50 a piece to make and $3.50 a piece for shipping. $7 a copy, so I decided to sell them for $12 a piece.

There is still no way to order the physical copies online, but there is always digital on Amazon etc. and if you want to buy 5+ copies for a store or to gift others, I can order some in bulk and send to you with a a discount.

If not, there is always the digital version

On top of that I found an old video that I totally forgot about. It’s a jam with musician and non-musician friends from my tour in 2015. I posted the video yesterday. If you were ever curious about me or my life, this is the video to watch. 2012-2018 were lots of messy but fun jam sessions.
