To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival (or Moon Festival), what's better than reading the story of Tang Sai'er, the Moon Goddess incarnate who is anathema to evil tyrant Zhu Di! The #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology is a mix of #wuxia, #Chinesemythology and #Chinesehistory! Intrigued?
Spurred by a reader's expression of fondness for #Nezha in my #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology (he's the adorable nonbinary immortal who becomes a godsend for Tang Sai'er). Guess what? He's paired with another nonbinary immortal Lan Caihe 藍采和 of the Eight Immortals! I love them!

Karma is one of the themes explored in my #wuxiaxianxia fantasy duology #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon.
Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were merciless murderers in their respective reigns. Many of the Zhu descendants lived very short lives. Payback certainly can transcend time.

So happy and honored to have my #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology featured in the upcoming Issue #2 of the magnificent bilingual Jade Moon magazine!!
Be ready to be charmed by this issue!

Like #LanWanji in #TheUntamed, Pearly (Tang Sai'er's #martialarts coach and Zhang Sanfeng's granddaughter in my #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology) also uses her guqin as a weapon!

Today I'd like to introduce #TangSai'er, the protagonist of my #wuxia-myth novels, the #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon Duology.
In the story, Sai'er is Chang'e reborn as the Ming vigilante & rebel leader who opposes Zhu Di (the third Ming emperor Yongle) and who ultimately eludes his capture.
For new & hot #wuxia movie, watch out for #LegendoftheCondorHeroes, which is coming to US cinemas on FEB. 21. It's the newest adaptation from a classic novel by #JinYong.
For novels with #wuxiaxianxia tropes and vibes, try the #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology ( #TheHeavenlySword + #TheEarthlyBlaze ).
May I butt in and say that the #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology ( #TheHeavenlySword + #TheEarthlyBlaze ) has a mix of wuxia (martial arts combat, fellowship loyalty, master/disciple vibes, revenge & redemption) and xianxia tropes (sorcery, immortals, magic, three realms & dragon) set in an au Ming.
Lan Caihe 藍采和, one of the Eight Daoist #Immortals, is a key immortal in my #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology, who strikes up an enduring friendship with Sai'er, the Chang'e incarnate charged with a celestial mission.
