Mikawa-san is Fukitsu’s biggest fan. A total stan that would do anything for her oshi, to get her oshi. Presents, cheki, tickets, blackmail, nothing is too much. Which presents a problem, since idol/stan relationships are strictly forbidden and can get the idol fired or worse. In this case, worse is only the beginning.
“For the Love of a Konbini Idol, I Faced Her Onryo Lover,” will be my third serialized novel.

I am a web author of Yuri Paranormal Romances. I am working on my third light novel which is in serialization: "For Love of A Konbini Idol, I Faced Her Onryo Lover." At https://archiveofourown.org/works/52770025
About a woman who falls in love with a cursed ex-idol.

Friends, I've been holding this back for over a month, but I'm finally at the point where I'm comfortable sharing it...
The cover of my debut novel, The Way of the Wielder!
I'm seriously so in love with it. 🥰 Everything about it is just perfection. You can read more about the process, and the cover itself, on this morning's blog post.
From: My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed, So We Had Wild Sex (Serialized Novel)
From Chapter 10: When You Fall You Fly
I asked, “Did it bother you? My giving you orders?”
“No, I liked it. It’s like belonging somewhere. Maybe that makes no sense, but that’s what it feels like to me. If I belong to you, I have a place; a safe place. I meant it when I said I would do anything for you.”
The next thing I knew, she had let go of me and was kneeling at my feet. “Mistress Shiro, will you accept me as your submissive? I know I’m all messed up and weird, but I would be honored if you thought me worthy to serve you.”
On the train to Bath today, I finished reading Charlotte Stein's When Grumpy Met Sunshine, & it was BY FAR the funniest rom-com I’ve read in ages. I kept snort-laughing out loud! But then the ending was so, so sweet. I let out a happy good-book sigh at the end!
I #read Gnome Sweet Gnome by Elva Birch (#book 2/Lawn Ornament Shifters) today because rn it’s #free (not sure how long that will last), and because the cover & title made me laugh. This shorter-length Christmas story takes rom-com almost to absurd #romance. Get ready for a jewel thief owl shifter to meet her mate as a Norwegian gnome factory owner. #reading#books#romancelandia@romancebooks https://amzn.to/3NlwpzF
I #read as #audiobook The Witness by Nora Roberts. Despite the hundreds of #books she’s written, I’m a 48yo Roberts virgin; she’s always been the #romance of my mother & MIL’s generation. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love good plots that don’t rely on dramatic breakups & makeups. While very white & not written specifically with this diagnosis of the FMC, she very much seemed to me as high-functioning autistic. #reading@romancebooks@romancelandia https://amzn.to/3RDvDjU
Love is precious - you can never have enough love - be it friendship, the romantic love of two lovers, the love of a family or the love of nature or animals.
Strange Way of Life follows in the footsteps of other queer Westerns like Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain to explore masculinity in a deep, meaningful way that diverts from the traditional formula of the genre. It begins when Silva rides out to visit Jake and reminisce about old times and celebrate the fun they had in their youth....
Friendship is hard to explain. Liking someone so much that the fire burns in your heart instead of your throat? Significantly harder—especially when kith and kin see him and think "thief" or "Is he thinking of killing me?" Maybe I shan't try to win acceptance, but I don't want to give it up. Won't.
You look at the harvest moon in the purple and pink glory of an autumn dusk, breathing in the smokey dry air, standing amidst the crinkle and rustle of the dried fallen leaves /and/ you /realize./ I realize. We see the same thing! We both think, we both appreciate beauty.
