☀️COVER REVEAL for Gods & Comics☀️
🎨 by Robin Har
I am obsessed with this beautiful cover for GODS & COMICS! The comic panels, Grace reaching for Haemosu as he comes alive! It's everything I could have dreamed of!

Trying to use Substack more & I posted my complicated thoughts about how the rise of the K-Wave means I get a lot of people telling me to go on submission fast since all of my books incorporate my Korean culture, but it's created conflicting feelings...

With the rise of the K-Wave, a lot of well-meaning people have told me I should quickly go on submission since all of my books incorporate Korean culture, but it's only created conflicting feelings...

If reading wasn't political, they wouldn't be trying to ban books

No one said your life was easy.
They said racism wasn’t one of the things making it harder.
You can have pain and still have advantage.
Both can be true at the same time.

What's SO meaningful in #BTS picking #Arirang is that it's a song of sorrow but post-war it became a song about reunion. And this is literally BTS coming back together after 3 yrs & 9 months!
LOVE how BTS uses deeply rooted Korean cultural symbols as metaphors for their own personal journey! 😭💜💜💜

New #BTS album name is 'Arirang'!!
Arirang is the unofficial Korean national anthem & is recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.
So proud of our boys for always repping our Korean cultural roots!
Here's a vid I made last summer about #Arirang www.instagram.com/reels/DL7zPt...
Kat Cho on Instagram: "Arirang is such an important song to the Korean people. Not surprised it inspired the hunters score suite in #kpopdemonhunters #koreanculture #arirang"

"Zohran won't be able to accomplish any of his campaign promises"
Well, I'd rather have a mayor that fights for me and fails, than one who actively works against my best interests 🤷
