Happy Qixi Festival! 🐦‍⬛💖 七夕快乐
My book, A FATE WOVEN IN STARLIGHT, is based on the Qixi legend/Chinese Valentine's Day: the epic love story of the Cowherd and Weaver--ripped apart, forced to inhabit different stars, and able to meet only once a year atop the magpie bridge✨

Of course!! I'm so excited for you!!

Threaten them and force them to unite against their common enemies, and all hell breaks loose.
