Happy Mother’s Day! Cheers! (Extra shot for all the mamas who can’t take a p**p in peace.)

She holds up my world when I’m too weak, shamelessly does my book promos, cares for us without compliant...but not without tons of nagging though! My tiger mom evolved into a kitten grandma after my children came into the world. She is everything! Happy Mother’s Day, mama!

I know, times are challenging...our lives are weird. F**k, I know! I tried to launch a debut multicultural/interracial romance featuring a Chinese-American heroine, like me, during a pandemic. It wasn't an easy decision nor made on a whim, but a year in the making (Things couldn't be canceled, and I'm glad I didn't postpone...some of the reviews and private messages from readers have been enough to propel me forward. It was too late to go back, and I'm glad I didn't. I won't give up!) For those who can, please buy or read for free with Kindle Unlimited.

I have no theme for this page. I post what I want when I want... Today I'm going to post about being grateful, it is my half-month book anniversary after all. I'm grateful for the health of my friends and family. I'm grateful for my readers and new friends I've made in the and community. *Giveaway coming soon!

My face indefinitely until I figure out AMS ads.

Today is the day! We’re live! Link in bio, read for free with a kindle unlimited subscription. Thanks so much for following along and supporting me through this journey. Next up, marketing and promos. Let’s do this! Gin’s Tonic —-> Olivia Owen What mends first? A shattered heart or a broken mind?

What began as a series of misunderstandings catapults into urgent need, as Gin finds herself forced to make an impossible choice, staying faithful to memories of the past or living for the future.

I’m not who I used to be.

Losing them turned me into someone I don’t even recognize. I’m not even sure I want to know that person.

So I ran.

But that was just a change in longitude and latitude.

When I met Roman, my insides were a twisted, decayed, knife-edged thing I was sure no one would ever want.

But he took every crushed bit of it and demanded more.

He’s as scarred on the outside as I am on the inside, but somehow, we fit together like two jagged pieces of the same fractured puzzle. Our tortured pasts brought us together—then ripped us apart.

Falling for him was inevitable. So was losing him.

Girl meets boy, girl loses boy, but maybe…girl gets nothing at the end.

Happily ever after just isn’t meant for people like me…right?

Gin’s Tonic is a steamy, angsty, mature, small town romance featuring an Asian-American heroine who is stronger than she knows. This is the story of a perfectly imperfect woman and the tall-dark-and-brooding hero who proves to her that love after loss is possible.

Please note: Gin’s Tonic contains sensitive material such as uncensored adult language, explicit content, and thoughts of self-harm after extreme loss. READER DISCRETION ADVISED.

Thank you, Readers Favorite!

No shoving my book release down your throat with this post, just wanted to share something beautiful. **kcovid19 **kcorona

This is going to age me to some of you. As I work the weirdest hours, mostly after my children fall asleep, S*x and the City plays in the background. Just finished the freak show episode, and can I ask, what the heck happened to Ben?!? 😉 I’m wearing the Amazon marketing hat today while watching an .

What do you think of these as author profile pics?

Before the safer at home initiative, I tried taking photos in Laguna Beach for various author profiles. Could someone please tell me why in the world I thought trying to strangle myself on the beach was cute? @ Montage, Laguna Beach

Am I a real author now? I just received my first bad review for an ARC, comparing my romance novel to po*******hy. (The s*x scenes were too much for her personal liking.) I’m trying to shrug it off, but it’s still gutting me.

Author Olivia Owen updated their business hours.

Working on blurbs! What do you all think?

To my fellow ,
Are content warnings appreciated or irrelevant?

So grateful to live in SoCal! Just an hour away from either the beach or mountains! Speaking of yesterday and today, I’m not ashamed to admit one of my biggest mistakes so far has been unconsciously switching from writing in past and present tense. Big p**py Ooops! What are some mistakes you’ve made on your first manuscript?

Apparently, along with commas, I don’t know where panties go. That’s reason 69 out of a thousand on why you need a great editor!

*Always Dreaming of Happily Ever Afters* I’m just a girl-woman trying to write some .

It's absolutely a kind of day! A year ago, a story haunted me in my dreams and wouldn't loosen its gnarly fingers from my brain. Six months ago, I started writing on a yellow spiral notebook, college ruled of course. Naive as I was I thought I could write then simply publish on Amazon, not knowing there were 5 million other steps in between those two things.
My first attempt at creativity hasn't been without its share of massive setbacks and hair loss. I'm not particularly all that smart or possess some kind of vast knowledge about the publishing industry, but and we can stumble our way through what works and what doesn't for a new . Maybe have a few laughs on the way too?
