In Diyosa Mata, Mayari awakens the power to shapeshift into the male Filipino god of the sun & war, Apolaki, and as she leads an uprising against colonial oppressors, she must confront whether her true battle is with her enemies or with her own divided identity. #YA #asian #F #dvpit #lgbt #poc #sff

When Joe immigrated in the ’60s, he was homesick and lonely. But he kept his mother close by cooking her dishes. FILIPINO-CANADIAN FEASTS is his legacy—shared now with his children, and yours. 3 generations keep her memory alive—adobo, sinagang & love on every page. #dvpit #NF #Cookbook #POC #Asian

Mayari is both god & girl, moon & sun, fury & devotion. Gifted with the power to become the god Apolaki, she rallies an uprising against colonizers. As she resists, she must also confront whether her true battle is with her enemies or with her own divided identity. #YA #asian #F #dvpit #lgbt #poc

In a Canadian art school, Eliana films her fractured heritage. River crafts haunted, symbolic stories. Together, they discover that love—like art—can be a lifeline through grief, identity, & silence. A tender Filipino-Canadian romance about survival, healing & truth.

There’s no golden, gilded book of our stories on bookstore shelves—so I made one. FILIPINO FAIRY TALES reclaims myth & magic for the diaspora, a collection of legends & folk stories for all ages! This collection is reclamation you can read aloud to your family! #dvpit #NF #Folklore #POC #Asian #YA

My next YA novel I’m working on next is “Bakunawa and the Seven Sisters”. It was shortlisted in @fracturedlit Ghost Stories, Fables, and Fairy Tales contest. It is a queer retelling of the Bakunawa’s myth fused with Chinese mythology, including the rabbit god of same sex couples Tu’er Shen! #dvparty

My playlist for Diyosa Mata, which is all video game music 👌 When I first started to create my story, I actually made a little RPG on RPGMaker 2000 first! I’ve always seen it as a turn based JRPG 😂 #dvparty open.spotify.com/playlist/0p3...

Diyosa Mata’s MC Mayari, is a cunning warrior with ♥️, but she also loves to contradict herself when it comes to her own emotions. She wants to be desired and inspire people with her beauty and skill, but not by gross men. She wants to adventure but she also wants a stable home. #dvparty
