There's an art trend on Twitter where everyone draws Hatsune Miku from their country in traditional/everyday clothes!

I drew my Miku being from my country, The Bahamas, in Junkanoo garb :D

WE DID IT! Liquid Sunlight is officially published on Amazon! ☀️🌊

Ya girl is a published author now, and I honestly can't believe my dream came true. Little me would be in absolute disbelief that we actually wrote and published an original book. I’m so incredibly proud of myself for taking this leap, and I feel like I've written something that not only makes me proud, but will make my family, my friends, and all of you proud, too!

I truly couldn't have done this without you believing in me. You gave me the courage.

When I first got back into writing after going through a really bad time back in March of 2024, it was just a way to cope. I was so terrified to even publish on AO3 and Tumblr—I genuinely thought no one would care about my story (shoutout to Steadfast Hearts and Levi x Tiana!). But a dear friend read the massive Google Doc I had been hoarding, loved it, and pushed me to share it with the world. Eventually, I took the plunge in September 2024 when I made my Tumblr, AO3, and then eventually my Patreon.

Then, I got to connect with all of you.

Hearing how my stories affected you, made you happy, and brightened your days changed everything for me. It made me realize that the stories I wrote from places of pain and isolation could be alchemized into joy and wonderful emotions for others. Something just clicked in my brain that my purpose is to use my writing to make people feel joy and evoke emotions and thoughts that sometimes can't be reached on their own.

I am so eternally grateful to you guys. You have no idea, and no amount of words will ever be able to convey it.

I hope you enjoy Liquid Sunlight. I hope you fall deeply in love with Naomi and Ezra, as well as my other characters. I hope you get swept away by the world, the lore, and my Bahamian culture! I hope this book makes you feel everything and makes you think about the complexities of this bizarre, wonderful world we live in. I love you all so much!
