#ScribesAndMakers – 15th Apr. What's a smell that has featured in your work?
There are many smells featured in my work. Picking just one, a trademark of my work is that each LI has a unique scent, and when the narrator notices it, it's a sign that the romance arc is heating up. Shishi's from […]

#EroticMusings 46: Does your work ever explore its own unreality? Part 2
So far, my narrators have tried to be honest brokers. But they can only tell what they know and believe.
For example, Ume in #KonbiniIdol can be very hard on herself, and if you took her words at face value, you would […]

For Love of a Konbini Idol, I Fought a Cult
Chapter 65.1 Released:
**殃 (Yāng) Evil Destiny**
By Nara Moore
The dragon bone he’d brought didn’t even need to be baked. The fortune was plain to read.
“Your destiny lies in the East.”
“The water spirits must be appeased.”
I didn’t tell Lǐ Zǐhéng […]
#wordweavers 13 fav scent.
Ume from #KonbiniIdol loves Violets and sandalwood, which is Shishi’s signature scent.
Rice and grilled fish, the smell of good food.

#EroticMusings 46: Does your work ever explore its own unreality?
#KonbiniIdol is Ume writing about what happened to her family. She is a conscious writer, so she seldom breaks the 4th wall.
The side story The Two Authors of Konbini Idol completely departs from this and is about me & Ume, the […]

#BonApriltit DAY 9
Daily offerings of rice and sake. Dōken-shin in #Airisu prefers uncooked rice as an offering. Hanayome-shin in #KonbiniIdol likes the addition of sakura blossoms and/or sakura mochi.
Spreading salt and/or sake is a common way of warding off spirits.
#ScribesAndMakers Apr 9: Our next featured creator is a professor. Does any of your work involve professors and/or universities?
Short answer: Yes
* #TheGirlWhoCouldSeeGhosts: The MCs are university students. The special university for people with high reikon/霊魂 is mentioned for the first […]
#KonbiniIdol For Ume it was a step too far. She was already treading that fine line between what she could live with and what she couldn't.
#TimeTravelingGhost #TimeTravelAuthor Bijou and Emily: Make a deal with the devil and you will forever regret it.

It's always eat out as the characters are nomads. And usually someplace fancy: The Hindenburg, Folies Bergère, and Café Parisien on the Titanic are examples.
#KonbiniIdol A low to mid-priced restaurant that is handy or an idol club.

#BonApriltit DAY 4
I write urban fantasy, so food is grown just like in our world because it is our world. It is a mystery how food is grown in Kakuriyo, the Shadow Land. It's a question my characters ask without an answer. For their part, they forge. #KonbiniIdol
#AwesomeCharcters
#KonbiniIdol Hohum, just another incident on the road in the Shadowland (Kakuriyo). Best be skirting it and get on our way.
#PennedPossibilities 975 SC What did you get in the most trouble for when young.
#KonbiniIdol Tomo: Being loud when my mother or one of her boyfriends had a hangover.
#NMMP #NMPrompts
#AprilWorldbuilders The City of Willow and Ash is Takiyasha-tenno's capital in the Shadow Land, Kakuriyo. Those who betrayed their rightful lords and died unrepentant inhabit it, still full of anger and resentment.
A dismal place where the Empress plots her return to Japan.

In #KonbiniIdol, both Kan-chan and Tomo feel safest in the kitchen, while Shishi wants to be with Ume.

They are HEA endings with a hook for possible sequels. (None have been written) until #KonbiniIdol. KI is also HEA, but there are some very dark elements to it; among other things, the characters all bear trauma scars. Not going to […]
