@bookstodon My #review of Daráhug #2: Nagmamahal, Daisy (Love, Daisy) by Kael Molo is now live! Molo delivers again on the spookiness - and this time with added background music, which enhances the spookiness in a VERY good way.

@bookstodon My #review of Daráhug #1: Ang Mananabang ng Sta. Maria (The Midwife of Sta. Maria) by Kael Molo is now live! A wonderfully spooky work of #Filipino #folkhorror. Molo’s artwork sets the tone very well, and the pacing is just fast enough to let the horror REALLY sink in.

Daphne Cardenas is the best wedding planner around, and everyone knows it. That's why her friend Greg hired her as an emergency replacement one month before his wedding—because he fears his fiancée Helen is falling for the guy they first hired for the job. Aaron Trinidad is new to the wedding industry but years of conference planning and loads of charm make him good at it. Really good at it. Planning the wedding of his friend Helen should be easy, and it is. To be unceremoniously fired isn't good for his new career, but the chance to learn from the best might be the silver lining. Aaron and Daphne have chemistry, but there’s history with Helen that at least one other person considers a threat. Who's the planner who can fix this impending disaster? (Part of the Chic Manila series, but can be read as a standalone.)

Because this story has been shared to our friends/fellow authors at #RomanceClass10thAnniv, I guess I can blog about it too. In 2018 I decided to produce an audio edition of Iris After the Incident. Audio editions are not standard with releases here in the Philippines, and I wanted to try it, so I had to
For anyone looking for a great read by a #BIPOC author, please do consider Eliza Victoria's Wounded Little Gods (got my copy from Mt. Cloud in Baguio years ago).
I've read it twice, and it still doesn't fail to give me the heebie-jeebies. So if you're up for a jittery read this holiday season, this one should be on your TBR list.

For a few months now I've been working on my 100-poem collection tentatively entitled "Ad Infinitum," a project which inspiration had just slowly emerged in between my philosophical and scientific work. Excited to share it with you soon!
