🌺 Happy Mother’s Day — And the Birth of The Cursed Mother 🌺

Today is a day that means more to me than I can fully express.

On this Mother's Day, I’m honored (and honestly still in shock) to say that my debut novel, The Cursed Mother, is now officially live on Amazon—in hardcover, paperback, and EPUB! 🎉

This story started as a playful challenge during a D&D campaign—just a fun character backstory. But it quickly became so much more: a tale of a woman, a warrior, and a mother named Ishida who fights to protect her daughter in a world torn by magic, myth, and danger.

But today isn’t just about the launch of a book. It’s about the real inspiration behind it.

I want to thank my mother. She showed me what it means to be strong. To make impossible choices quietly, and without thanks. To protect, to endure, and to love even when the world makes it hard.

She did it alone for a time. And I know she isn't the only one. So many mothers have carried more than they should’ve had to, walked through fear for the sake of their children, and never once asked to be called brave.

So to my mother—and to every mother who’s ever made hard decisions with no applause, no backup, and no certainty: I see you. This book is for you, too.

If The Cursed Mother carries even a fraction of that strength between its pages, then I’ve done what I set out to do.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for believing in stories that matter. And thank you, Mom. You were my first hero.
