Ledani Moons will be available November 16, 2021! This sci-fi, m/m romance is the second book in The Agitator’s Code Series, featuring Darion Navarr and Tolrek Marou.
Cover by Deranged Doctor Design
Darion Navarr and Tolrek Marou have carved out a life together. They started on opposing sides but are now focused on having a solid relationship. It won’t be simple, as forces in and around them pose new challenges.
Tolrek becomes a mecha pilot again, but his machine reacts strangely when he activates it. More importantly, his health begins to suffer and learning why takes him on a life-changing journey.
As much as Darion wants to help Tolrek, he must answer a summons from the Tildari Empire. The expectations of Tildar’s Empress raise questions about Darion’s past and0 his future is in jeopardy.
With Tolrek’s health issues and the demands of their careers, how will Darion and Tolrek continue their relationship?

I keep my yearly reading challenge between 20 to 30 books. That gives me time to enjoy quite a few stories, while also writing my own books. Here’s some of what I’ve read!
I usually work on several stories at a time. Regardless of which story has most of my attention, they all have a few things in common.
A Set of Twins:
A Character with a Sweet Tooth:

When I’m not writing, I love watching dramas. One of my favorites this year is The Rebel Princess, a Chinese costume drama, starring Zhang Zi Yi and Zhou Yi Wei. I’d first seen Zhang Zi Yi in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Zhou Yi Wei was a new actor to me. Together they portrayed Awu and Xiao Qi, two individuals with strong convictions.
There were so many wonderful elements:
This was a spectacular drama. The competition was fierce. I could tell because by episode 65, so many characters featured in the intro had died. ??
Fortunately, the show wasn’t difficult to locate because all the episodes were officially on YouTube. While it consisted of 68 episodes, it was well-worth the time. Don’t worry. This drama had a happy ending.
While I’m writing, I listen to a little bit of everything. Check out my Soundcloud playlists!

We’re already in the Spring of 2021. Here are my plans for this season.
The Agitator’s Code: In June, I’ll be doing the cover reveal for Ledani Moons, the second book in the series! The first book is Vaironian Tides, which is available as an ebook or paperback at these retailers.
The Architect’s Guardian: I’m almost finished revising Awakening, book one of this series. By the end of the season, I’ll send it to the editor.
Balance: My focus is on my other stories for this year, but this series is simmering.
As of today, I’ve watched all available episodes of Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin), an action/dark fantasy/post-apocalyptic anime. While the series has many interesting characters, the best discussions have taken place about Eren Yeager and Gabi Braun. The below video, by WordyBlerd, is an excellent analysis of Eren and Gabi. I understand why these two operate as they do but, in complicated circumstances like the ones in the series, the reasons for their actions matter.
My perspective is that, with all the horrors they’ve had to endure, Eren is more confident. Gabi, however, is brash and loud, which can look like confidence. Most societies cater to people who are extroverted and confuse being loud with being confident/informed/right.
In terms of strong character similarities, I believe Reiner Braun and Eren are the most alike and in more than superficial ways. Both Reiner and Eren are driven, but that doesn’t make them ignore the circumstances. They’re able to pivot and accept new truths. By the way, it’s interesting that Reiner’s name encompasses Eren. Maybe that’s an accident, but it still fascinates me.
At any rate, there are still more episodes in this fourth and final season. I’ve been watching the anime, but I’m planning on diving back into the manga. A show with this much conflict and depth must have more layers to explore in the books. When it’s all said and done, who knows how I’ll feel?
