I will never forget my goals back in 2023 when I honestly thought I would never be able to publish again. As someone who thought that it wasn’t going to be possible to publish books anymore, I’m happy to announce that I’m finally making progress on the fourth book in the Truson S.E.T. Series, Courtney’s Redemption. I have finally made it to chapter sixteen (the handwritten version) and chapter twelve (typed on the computer). My original deadline was supposed to be on October 12th, 2026.

Unfortunately, it was not possible because I suffered a little bit when it came to meeting my old deadline so I reached out to my editor to change the deadline of my latest work (which I was grateful for). My new deadline is November 16th. My hope is that I will be able to make it so that I will be able to send it to my editor for her to review it. My hope is that I will be able to publish it by the early part of 2027.

I’m not sure…

What’s one piece of travel advice you always follow?

I’m not sure. I know that when I travel locally I always make sure to carry my essentials such as slippers, clothes, shoes, passport, etc. for a hotel stay. Never stayed at an AirBNB. I would much rather have the experience of being in different hotels and what they offer. I have done this multiple times in South Korea.

But now, I will have an opportunity to step out again and go on yet another international trip to Thailand. I hope that with all of my traveling adventures that I will come back and share more. Until then, I have nothing else to say.

I think I am going to have a blast there. Can’t wait for it to happen.

Hey, if you are looking for the perfect gift for Halloween, why not buy a book that has:

Superhero hybrids

Found family

Mystery

Bad guys don’t win at the end of the story

If this is your vibe, then why not give An Orman’s Revenge a try??? If not for Halloween then maybe you can buy it for the book lover in your life for Christmas?

An Orman’s Revenge is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other online retailers.

There were many…

What was your first ever videogame?

View all responses

My first even videogame? Well, this would take me back to the days of Nintendo where I would play Super Marion brothers for hours until my mom told me that it was time to go to bed. I also remember having another game where we had a game gun to shoot ducks in the game. Then, I went from Super Mario Brothers to Zelda. It was some good times back then. I switched again from Zelda to Pokemon (which I still love to this day by the way). I remember being so fascinated by the Pokemon characters that I wanted to draw Manga. I think that a little bit of my books were inspired by the Pokemon craze. 

That’s it, that’s all.

My personal/professional goals for 2027

Do you set personal goals for yourself?

View all responses

Do I set personal goals for myself? Yes, I do. Although I will admit that if I do set a goal or two that I normally don’t follow up to see if I have achieved that goal or not. But it is something I am working on for next year. As a matter of fact, here are my personal goals for 2027 and my writing/publishing goals for 2027. 

Personal goals for 2027:

1) Start learning Korean – I did start off learning Korean at first before I landed in South Korea but I slowed down significantly. I really need to pick it back up. 

2) Work on establishing my online course/school. I have some really great ideas when it comes to this. I really want to exercise this in 2027 and I have bought some books to start my Journey. If you’re interested in the books I have purchased to support this endeavor, I will provide the links below to where I purchased these wonderful books. 


Teaching Creative Writing by Bronwen Tate 

Million Dollar Micro Buisness by Tina Tower 

3) Finish up my journal therapy/coaching class. Again, I haven’t started this yet considering I am still working on book four of the Truson S.E.T. series. However, I bought the course back in September and I am super excited to get started on it. It looks like I won’t officially be starting until November. 

Writing/Publishing goals 2027 

1). Doing Special editions – My plan is to start working on doing Special editions for the first three books in my book series. It will include character art and maybe some other things I can’t think of at the moment.

2) Finish the next writing project in the Truson S.E.T. series. Actually, that means spending time rewriting the next two books I have planned for next year: The Reinmans and Lex (which will be a spinoff of the Truson S.E.T. Series). 

3) Get the process going when it comes to hiring an agency to promote your books so that all you need to do is just write the next one. This would be the final goal for me. I would love for this to become reality one day and I think I will start the process in 2027. 

4) Traditional Publishing: Yes, you are reading that right. I do plan to go back to traditional publishing next year. I am not sure if I want to get a literary agent and work with the the big five publisher of if I just want to follow my childhood dream of being a Harlequin author (something I have been wanting since I was twelve). I am in the process of writing a book for Harlequin Presents and I’m hoping to get it done and submitted by the end of 2027. 

That’s it. These are all the goals I have for 2027. My hope is that I will be able to follow up on it in the near future.

What do you think is the future of AI?

View all responses

I don’t know. We are living in a crazy time right now where one nation is fighting hard against the use of AI to keep their jobs and careers while there are other nations who welcome it whole heartedly. Maybe AI is a tool that could be used to do things that we have never done before. Maybe not. There are some things that AI could be used for that in hindsight, may come out as good. Or not. Right now, there is an uproar when it comes to AI in creative writing spaces, that AI steals content from real authors and illustrators and loads it into a system to create it as its own. 

What can I say? AI is a choice. You can use it at your own peril. However, there is something that needs to be said when there are certain people that are saying that AI is dangerous and that we should slow down because of the fast advancements AI is making towards the world. 

But what can I say right? I’m just an author and a teacher who is just trying to live my life as best I know how.
