Last Song of the Nation

A forgotten kingdom. A sacred vow. A journey home across centuries. Centuries ago, the fate of a young Vietnamese noblewoman became entwined with the rise and fall of the Champa kingdom. Her name was Thanh Mai—a girl of silken grace and iron spirit, whose heart beat with forbidden love and a fierce loyalty to truth. Her story was nearly lost… until one man dared to follow its echo. In modern-day California, Kien Quoc—a quiet Vietnamese-American engineer—receives his father’s dying wish: return to Vietnam and uncover the roots of their family’s past. His journey leads him into the heart of central Vietnam, where sacred towers sleep beneath moss and myth, and where the memory of Champa lingers in song, stone, and silence. Guided by dreams and joined by Sari, a Balinese journalist equally devoted to Southeast Asia’s lost civilizations, Kien stumbles upon a revelation that challenges history, identity, and the very idea of nationhood. Along the way, they unearth a secret chamber beneath the holy valley of My Son—and within it, a truth that changes everything. Told in sweeping, poetic prose, Last Song of the Nation weaves together two timelines: the fall of Champa through the eyes of a young woman trapped between war and destiny, and a contemporary quest for heritage, love, and healing. At its core lies a question that haunts generations: What do we owe the past, and what can it still teach us today? This is a novel of memory and migration, of culture and compassion, of spirits that never die and songs that still carry across the wind.

Today's Kind of Fairytale

Clara, a fiercely independent graphic designer and new single mother to adorable baby Leo, is on the brink. With a career-defining project looming and her childcare plans in smithereens, she’s out of options and almost out of caffeine. Across the hall in their vibrant Artisan’s Quarter apartment building lives Ethan, a meticulous, career-driven architect whose perfectly ordered world is as sleek and minimalist as his ambitions are grand. He needs a “stable partner” image—fast—to clinch a make-or-break partnership at Sterling & Finch. A desperate situation calls for a desperate solution: the "Project Co-Habitation & Career Advancement Mutual Assistance Pact." It’s a hilariously formal, strictly platonic agreement where Ethan becomes Leo’s weekday caregiver in exchange for Clara playing the role of his devoted partner at crucial work events. Lines are drawn, rules are made (mostly in a shared, sarcastically annotated Google Doc), and disaster is meticulously planned for. But as Bridgewood City buzzes around them, and baby Leo’s innocent charm works its magic, the carefully constructed walls between Clara and Ethan begin to crumble. Late-night baby duties turn into shared laughter, business arrangements blur into unexpected tenderness, and the undeniable chemistry simmering beneath their witty banter becomes too potent to ignore. Can their unconventional pact survive the intrusion of real, messy emotions? Or will the fine print of their deal be hilariously rewritten by a love that was never part of the plan? "Today's Kind of Fairytale" is a witty, heartwarming contemporary romance about unexpected love, the beautiful chaos of modern parenting, and finding your own version of happily ever after, right where you least expect it.

The Russian Tsar

When a brilliant but unfulfilled 21st-century mind is thrust into the past, he awakens in the body of an 18-year-old, destitute baron on the fringes of the vast Russian Empire. It is the 1890s, a gilded age on the brink of catastrophic collapse. While he inherits the local memories and customs of his new life, he retains his own formidable intellect and, most critically, a precise knowledge of the wars, revolutions, and political shifts that are set to fracture the empire and plunge it into chaos. His provincial estate becomes the foundation for a much larger game: the subtle infiltration of the imperial court. Wealth and political favor become his weapons as he cultivates allies among the ambitious and systematically dismantles the influence of his rivals. Every investment and introduction is a deliberate chess move, part of a patient, calculated coup designed to ultimately checkmate the throne. Should he succeed in claiming the crown, he would unleash a quiet revolution from the top down. Knowledge of future breakthroughs will allow him to supercharge Russia's industry and sciences. He will reform the military entirely, building a force guided by doctrines that have yet to be conceived in this era, let alone countered. But this national transformation is merely the means to an end. He is not just trying to avoid the storm of war and revolution he remembers from his history books; he is driven to seize that chaotic future and bend it to his will, ensuring that when the dust of the 20th century settles, it is the Russian Empire that stands alone as the world's master.
