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!

Want to see Tang Sai'er and #Nezha in a fierce undersea fight with the Green Dragon, painted in words? Read #TheEarthlyBlaze (Book 2 of the #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology)!! This duology is full of #xianxia #cdrama vibes!

This mythical tale is retold in #TheHeavenlySword and #TheEarthlyBlaze. Nezha is a key character in the immortal cast of this #wuxiaxianxia duology, who helps Tang Sai'er to tackle the Green Dragon!

Everyone! Nezha is in love with the androgynous Lan Caihe of the Eight Immortals in the #SwordMaidenfromtheMoon duology! No one else suits him better 🤩

I wish some artist would illustrate the scene of Xiwangmu's birthday bash/magic peach feast as depicted in #TheHeavenlySword, or Tang Sai'er's and Nezha's undersea fight with the Green Dragon in the Crystal Palace in #TheEarthlyBlaze! Any volunteer?

These two images of #NeZha are closer to the lovely immortal in #TheHeavenlySword and #TheEarthlyBlaze !!! The 2019 animated film version lacks some of the finesse.

I'm really curious to know whether I've made readers hate Zhu Di (the evil Ming emperor & Sky Wolf incarnate) in the Sword Maiden from the Moon duology!

Please comment if you've read the books.

I'm pleased to say that #TheEarthlyBlaze has been approved to go on the Eligibility List for nominations in the 2025 Aurora Award Best Novel category! Nominations will be open from March 1 to April 5! Your support would be much appreciated!

Both #TheHeavenlySword and #TheEarthlyBlaze are 2024 #IndieInkAwards finalists! I feel honored but at the same time a bit embarrassed, because there were only a total of 11 nominees in this category and their rule is to pick 10 finalists! It just shows how neglected the category is 😗

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.

One of those cheerleaders (for big five books of course) has found her way onto the #2024IndieInkAward judge panel. It means my two books, both being award finalists, stand little to no chance of winning.
