It’s here! It’s finally here!

As some of you may have noticed, my blog has changed a bit in the last few months, and the reason is quite simple: I’m finally ready to publish my first novel, and rather than go through the muck of setting up a separate author website, and maintaining two sites for different areas of my writing, I decided to simply expand Literary Treats to include my novel writing as well.

And as you can see in the above photo, I’m thrilled to announce that the novel is finally available for purchase!

What’s this book about?

Lady Kidlat Meets Her Match is a contemporary romance about two plus-size Filipinos in Toronto who fall in love over a shared love of cats, Filipino food, and all things nerdy.

Kat is a museum educator and comics creator who refuses to fall in love. Jake is a psychologist and avid Trekkie who longs for happily ever after. A one night stand to explore their deepest fantasies leads to working together on art therapy workshops for the museum where Kat works, and, well, you’ll just have to read the book to find out what happens next. 😉

What does this mean for the blog?

I still plan to keep reviewing books on my blog. The main difference is, instead of seeing my latest posts on my home page, you’ll just need to click on the “Blog” link in the header to see my latest reviews.

Another big difference is that I’ll be starting a newsletter for updates on my romance novels. For those who fall in love with Lady Kidlat and want to keep reading any romances I write in future, I’ll also be posting author updates on the blog. As you’ll see with this post, I’ll tag it “Author News” and “Lady Kidlat” so you can choose which of my posts to read.

What about the newsletter?

For those who’ve signed up for email updates for my blog posts, you can customize your experience to receive only the updates you want.

On the bottom of one of the eblasts, simply click on “Manage your email settings.”

Then you can select which of the newsletter categories you want to receive.

Thank you all for reading what I write, whether it be my bookish blog posts or, now, news about MY VERY OWN BOOK! For those of you who are inclined to give Lady Kidlat a try, I hope you love her as much as I do, and I look forward to posting a lot more romantic adventures within her world.
