A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a photo of a large and vast library with arched ceilings and gloomy lighting. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. The title reads "New release!" in bold gray text, and below that to the left is a graphic of the book cover. To the right of the book is more text, which reads "Book 2: Beyond a Broken Horizon." Slightly below that in a new paragraph, the text reads "Chapter 59: A Matter of Opinion". Below the book and centered on the graphic itself is more text, which reads "Check out this East Asian inspired novel, as well as its predecessor, on Royal Road!

    A book overview graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a medium purple-gray color, and a red ornate pattern overlays it. Above that layer is a centered transparent white box with a black outline, creating a border around the edge of the graphic. Within the box and to the top left is a dark gray book graphic featuring the novel's cover, a dark landscape with a towering castle and a large red eclipse encircling the top of it. To the right of the frame is a title in large, bold, black outlined, gray text that reads "Below the Heavens". Underneath that in red text outlined in black is a bullet list, which reads "High Fantasy. Ancient Spirits. Dragons." . Below the book graphic, title, and larger bullet list is a smaller bullet list. This bullet list reads "Detailed world crafted from scratch. Quick witted and likeable protagonist. Political struggles and intrigue. Unique auramaster magic system."

    A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is an illustration of a landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large red solar eclipse dominating the sky. The graphic title in bold gray text outlined with black, which reads "An Excerpt from the First Chapter of Below the Heavens" Directly underneath that in bold red text outlined with black is the subtitle, which reads "Sins of a Dying Empire.". Below that in the same text as the main title is the body text, which reads "Molam threw himself to the side as a whistle pierced the air and the projectile buried itself into a nearby tree with a thud. With no time to prepare, he was forced to lock his arms around his pack to protect its contents from being crushed as he hit the ground, doing his best to break his fall with a roll that sent him tumbling through the Forest's floor until stopped by a thorny bush. He sucked in air through clenched teeth before pulling himself back to his feet and continued running, tugging his cloak from the bush's thorny grasp. The exertion from sprinting through the Slumbering Forest manifested as a dull ache in his chest and he felt the burning pain of his muscles crying out for rest. There could be no rest now; being auraless, to stay here was to die."

    Dionysus in Wisconsin won third place at the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice awards in the fantasy/paranormal category. I am definitely going to be cool about this and not use it as an excuse to call myself an AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR at every turn because that would be obnoxious.

    Check out the AWARD-WINNING NOVEL here: https://books2read.com/u/49dN1p

    Here's a little repost of my Meet the Author with the updated graphics for my rebrand!

    Below the Heavens is a high fantasy webnovel series featuring a quick witted protagonist and a world and magic system crafted from scratch, incorporating east Asian culture and influences.

    It is available for free via web browser or the app on Royal Road, as well as on Scribblehub! You can find those links along with my Discord, Patreon, and other social media in my bio.

The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large red solar eclipse dominating the sky. The graphic title in bold gray text outlined with black, which reads "Meet the Author." Directly underneath that in bold red text outlined with black is the body text, which reads: "Hey! I'm CKMo (he/him), a Taiwanese writer living in the bay area of California. One of my goals in writing is to help bring more themes and ideas from East Asian culture into Western media. Some of the other reasons I decided to write include my characters. They've lived with me for some time, and wanted their story to be told. I've also been a fan of the written word since I was young, which started to draw me towards crafting my own prose. Between these and the fact that I have a penchant for writing cool lines, I needed to create a world for all these things to come together. Some of the other hobbies I have outside of writing include Magic the Gathering, various genres of video games, and anime of course. Due to my full time job, I'm assisted in running my accounts by a social media manager. Most posts and comments will be handled by them, but any DMs, emails, or other personal communications will be responded to by myself personally."

    As promised, here's the reveal for the new rebrand for my indie series, Below the Heavens!

    The amazing art was done by the wonderful Kiguri over on X, @/nomaismar!

    @bookstodon

    A square reveal graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a darkened photo of a worn, wooden shelf with haphazardly stacked books filling it to the brim. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. In the middle of this square frame is another black outline frame which is rectangular and has rounded corners. This frame contains a book cover, which features a graphic art landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large red solar eclipse dominating the sky. Over the top of this art work, in bold gray text outlined with black, is the series name, "Below the Heavens." Below that in the same text but slightly larger is the book title, "Sins of a Dying Empire". Underneath the title in bold red text with a black outline is the author's name, "CKMo".

    Dionysus in Wisconsin has also been shortlisted for the New England Romance Writers Readers' Choice Award in the paranormal/fantasy/scifi/time travel category! I didn't get a chance to make a graphic specifically for this one, but I'm excited--being shortlisted means it went up against more traditional M/F romances and won!

    I'm very excited to finally be able to make this announcement!

    Coming May 5th, I'll be doing a cover and title reveal for the rebrand for my indie novel series, Below the Heavens. I can't wait to show you all this amazing art!

    @bookstodon

    A square announcement graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a darkened photo of a worn, wooden shelf with haphazardly stacked books filling it to the brim. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. At the top of this transparent frame is bold gray text with a black outline that reads "Below the Heavens". Under that and to the left is another rectangular black frame that contains book cover art, but is halfway hidden by an illustration of a red draped cloth covering it. To the right of this frame and directly beneath the graphic title is more text, glowing red, that reads "Rebranded". Below this text, and still beside the book cover, is bold red text outlined in black, which reads "Cover & Title Reveal". Underneath this is a date, in bold gray text outlined in black, that reads "5/5/2024". Below the date and the book cover as well, centered at the bottom of the transparent white square frame, is more bold gray text outlined in black, this time reading "Book One".

Underneath the frame, in gold text outlined in black, is a quote from the book. It reads "I know the Gods mock us. They created us to crave peace then gave us an endless capacity for violence. Or is the order different? We crave violence and vainly wish for peace? Perhaps I have lived so long I can no longer tell the difference. — Excerpt from Meditations, by the Red Emperor.". Below that is the title of the book series, "Below the Heavens", in bold gray text with a dark shadow. Underneath the title is more gold text with a black outline, reading "Free Webnovel".

    🌟 📚 New Drop! 📚 🌟

    I just released Chapter 55 of my East Asian inspired indie book series, Below the Heavens! This chapter is part of my second book, ZhiXia.

    Both works can be found for free in webnovel form on royalroad, via web browser or their app, in bio!

    @bookstodon

    The graphic is created using a background image of a library wall filled with an eclectic collection of books. The library is dimly lit by vintage wired lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling. In the foreground is a transparent white square in the center, creating a border on the graphic. The title reads "New release!" in bold gray text, and below that to the left is a graphic of the book cover. To the right of the book is more text, which reads "Below the Heavens Book 2: ZhiXia." Slightly below that in a new paragraph, the text reads "Chapter 56: An End to Festivities". Below the book and centered on the graphic itself is more text, which reads "Check out this East Asian inspired novel, as well as its predecessor, on Royal Road!

    A graphic created using an illustration of a landscape. The landscape is dark, a sprawling castle with a kingdom surrounding it, misty clouds twisting between structures. In the sky framing the tallest center spire is a brightly glowing total eclipsed sun, greating the illusion of a large flaming halo. The title of the graphic reads "Below the Heavens" in bold gray text, and the excerpt is in smaller golden text below it. The body text reads: "I have found that the best lies are wrapped in nothing but the truth. — Excerpt from Meditations, by the Red Emperor."

Below the book graphic and the novel title is more outlined gold text in two paragraphs. The first paragraph reads “One of the most powerful things I think a fantasy novel can do is make you believe in the world that exists beyond what’s strictly on the page, and Below the Heavens absolutely nails that.”. The second paragraph reads “A sprawling tale set in a world heavily inspired by traditional east-Asian mythologies, strengthened by complex yet digestible worldbuilding...”.

    A graphic created using layered designs. The background is a medium purple-gray color, with a light tan, ornate overlay on top of it. In the middle of the graphic is a transparent white square with a thin, opaque black outline, creating a border out of the design underneath. Inside the transparent square, at the top, is a title that reads "Below the Heavens", with "Free Web Novel" below it in smaller text. Underneath that is a black asymmetrical and oblong frame with the illustration of a dark castle in it. Below that is a bullet list of attributes for the novel, and read in this order: Political struggles and intrigue. Easter dragons and ancient spirits. Unique Auramaster magic system. Detailed world crafted from scratch. Quick witted and likeable protagonist.
