The lotus and the crown: book 1 of the royal hearts series
Currently, my debut novel, "The Lotus and the Crown," stands as the first chapter in the epic "Royal Hearts Series." This is the book I'm most excited for new readers to discover, a tale where Edinburgh grit meets Asian grandeur, and where royal romance fantasy is woven with grounded authenticity. Dive into a world of complex characters, difficult choices, and immersive sensory detail that will keep you captivated from the first page to the last.
For the dreamers, the seekers, and the night owls
I imagine my readers as those who steal quiet moments for themselves—commuters on late trains, night owls with tea gone cold, anyone who's ever looked out a window and wondered what life feels like somewhere else. You love getting lost in a period drama, replaying a game's story for the third time, or staying up too late because you need to know what happens next. You crave escape, but you want it to matter. From my books, I want you to feel swept up—heart racing, breath held, completely elsewhere. Then, when you surface, I want you carrying something real: the ache of a choice made for love, the weight of loyalty tested, the thrill of discovering strength you didn't know you had. Whether it's romance, thriller, or wuxia, the goal is the same—leave you changed, even just a little, and hungry for the next journey.
Where edinburgh grit meets asian grandeur
What sets my work apart is this collision of worlds: Edinburgh grit meets Asian grandeur, call centre reality meets royal romance fantasy. I write from the threshold between the everyday and the extraordinary, bringing a grounded authenticity to even my most lavish settings. When I describe a palace, you can still smell the rain outside; when my characters fall in love, they carry the baggage of real people making hard choices. My style is immersive and sensory—I want readers to feel the humidity of a monsoon, the weight of silk, the silence before a blade clears its scabbard. Influenced by George R.R. Martin's moral complexity and Val McDermid's psychological precision, I build stories where nothing is quite black and white, and everyone has something to lose. The Lotus and the Crown is just the beginning. Few debut authors announce romance, thriller, and wuxia ambitions in the same breath—but that restlessness is who I am. Each genre teaches me something new, and every book will carry that hunger to explore.
