Hi bluesky people.
I write #horror. I'm the author of the #gothichorror novel FAIREST FLESH (Elizabeth Bathory + Snow White but feminist), and novella HOUSE OF PUNGSU #joseon Korea feels + more feminism). I like things sorrowful, haunting, beautiful, and horrifying, usually with a dash of history.

One of the best things I've done for myself recently was find a therapist who truly knows and understands biracial Asian experiences. Passing this this site along to my Asian diaspora siblings: www.asianmhc.org. They have many resources listed including a list of therapists.
