I JUST … I JUST FUCKING LOVE ARM SO MUCH
So a long while back, I had a illustration project to re-imagine the covers of three of my favorite books. Naturally I went with Patrick Rothfuss’ literary wonders of the Kingkiller Chronicles and a Slow Regard. I finally decided to touch them up, add some type, and put them up here today!

I am beyond thrilled to share the RUSE cover with you!! The cover art is by Jason Chan, and as much as I loved the WANT cover, I think my adoration of RUSE matches that!! Jason is an incredible artist, and I feel so lucky!! I think what I love most about the cover is that it features a bespectacled heroine!! :D WANT is currently $5.99 where ebooks are sold, so pick it up if you haven’t yet!!
…
In near-future Shanghai, a group of teens have their world turned upside down when one of their own is kidnapped in this action-packed follow-up to the “positively chilling” (The New York Times) sci-fi thriller Want.
Jason Zhou, his friends, and Daiyu are still recovering from the aftermath of bombing Jin Corp headquarters. But Jin, the ruthless billionaire and Daiyu’s father, is out for blood. When Lingyi goes to Shanghai to help Jany Tsai, a childhood acquaintance in trouble, she doesn’t expect Jin to be involved. And when Jin has Jany murdered and steals the tech she had refused to sell him, Lingyi is the only one who has access to the encrypted info, putting her own life in jeopardy.
Zhou doesn’t hesitate to fly to China to help Iris find Lingyi, even though he’s been estranged from his friends for months. But when Iris tells him he can’t tell Daiyu or trust her, he balks. The reunited group play a treacherous cat and mouse game in the labyrinthine streets of Shanghai, determined on taking back what Jin had stolen.
When Daiyu appears in Shanghai, Zhou is uncertain if it’s to confront him or in support of her father. Jin has proudly announced Daiyu will be by his side for the opening ceremony of Jin Tower, his first “vertical city.” And as hard as Zhou and his friends fight, Jin always gains the upper hand. Is this a game they can survive, much less win?
ADD RUSE to your goodreads!

I’m not even sure what to say–other than LOOK AT THIS ART by JASON CHAN! He is the talented artist behind my amazing WANT cover, and when I approached him for a commission for the hero and heroine of my novel, I thought chances would be slim. But hell if I didn’t try! Then he gave me this, and I was floored. As always, I’ll be doing a special pre-order campaign through my favorite local indie Mysterious Galaxy. If you order through them, you can get personalized and signed copies of WANT, a postcard of this gorgeous artwork AND a notecard featuring my own Chinese brush painting of peach blossoms.
WANT is the first young adult novel set in Taiwan published by a Big 5 in the US that I’m aware of. And it is definitely the first speculative fiction. It’s about a band of misfit teens living on the fringes who decide to take on a corrupt government and the richest corporation in the country to try and save their beloved city. I love all of my books, but this one is especially dear to me as it is set in my birth city Taipei. I can’t wait for readers to meet Jason Zhou and Jin Daiyu, the hero and heroine of my novel!
Signal boosting is appreciated!! Thank you, book lovers!!
