Breaking my social media hiatus to share something super exciting: I sold a YA mystery that I pitched as a queer, Brown Veronica Mars!

Keep an eye out for DEATH IN THE CARDS (Summer 2025) 💀🃏

Can't wait for you all to meet Danika Dizon, my tarot-reading, queer Fil-Am teen detective 🇵🇭🏳️‍🌈🕵🏽‍♀️

🌟 Happy MURDER AND MAMON Release Day 🌟

Huge thanks to everyone that's helped me get this far. Bc of all my wonderful supporters, I've released 4 books, had my series extended & am able to live my dream full-time. It's never been easy, but it's sure as hell been worth it.

Maraming salamat 😘

(Which honestly, hard agree about dat 🍑 & Bloodsport)

🌟 FIT FOR THE GODS is out today! 🌟

THE FURIES DETECTIVE AGENCY is my take on the Furies and the story of Elektra and Orestes. As a crime writer, I think about revenge & justice a lot. What those words really mean, esp when you come from a marginalized background.

(It's also Hades AU fanfiction 😅)

Arielle @joviellety.bsky.social did the preorder swag art for BLACKMAIL AND BIBINGKA and it was so damn good! Great artist to work with and highly recommended!

Thanks for this! I write the Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery series, humorous mysteries centering around a family-owned Filipino restaurant in a fictional town outside of Chicago.

I also have a short story in FIT FOR THE GODS, modern, inclusive retellings of Greek myths https://linktr.ee/mpmthewriter
