My first novel, The Age of Umbrage, is now available at Mt Cloud, Shopee, and Lazada!!!
There is no acknowledgments section in my new book or it would be longer than the novel (126 pages only). This novel took way too long to come into being, and it would not exist without my friends. Who, being my friends, would prefer not to be mentioned. (If someone announces it loudly, check with me.) Thank you to the friends who hang out with me for no reason, who enjoy our long, pointless meals where we laugh hysterically at things we won’t remember (Well I do, because material), who buy my books and force them on their friends, who know the difference between my written and actual selves, who took an interest in cats just to humor me and have now been colonized. I wrote The Age of Umbrage in 2016, in 3 months (after decades of false starts), so I don’t remember exactly what’s in it, but if you find your name in it or recognize a character as being based on you, remind me!
