Well, after a couple years of thinking about it, I’ve decided to go for it and share with all of you my Professional Author Identity™! This is because… the last book in my sci-fi trilogy releases today! While I’ve written a number of other books under two pen names, this series is the number one series of my heart, and that’s because it incorporates so many elements of fandom I love. First and foremost is Atlantis, which should be apparent just by looking at the covers of the books.

But there are also elements of PGSM (particularly in the couple of Henry and Tamara, who are drawn a lot from my take on Zoisite and Minako in my PGSM fics), and a lot of Final Fantasy X/X-2 as well. You can hear about some of my fandom inspiration for the series on this episode of the Jewel Riders Archive podcast I did last year alongside my sister, who also transitioned from writing fanfics to writing books:

Maybe I can’t manage to finish one measly PGSM fanfic, but I did manage to finish a three-book-plus-one-novella series that spans 1500 pages, and I’m darn proud of it! If you’d like to check the series out, you can do so here.

For now, I’m going to take a break and see where the inspiration strikes next. Maybe 2024 will be the year I go back and finish some fanfics! It will be (oh god) the twentieth anniversary of the first publication of “Guardians of the Earth and the Moon” next year (the 20th anniversary of the show’s debut was a couple weeks ago! Can you believe it??), so maybe it will be the time to finally put that story to bed!
