     Hello, and welcome! This is a strange little passion project of mine, which I have been crafting—in some form or fashion—since 2010; yet, in practicality it still remains in its infancy. Beloved Chronicles is a literary fantasy novel series that defies easy summarization, with its focus ranging from romance to tragedy, settings ranging from the medieval to the post-apocalyptic future, all tied together by an intertwining tale of two pairs of reincarnating lovers. It is a story primarily for myself, perhaps to a fault—inspired by classic literature and vintage shoujo manga, featuring characters quite unlike those one tends to see in such stories, with flowery prose and as much earnestness as I can muster. I sincerely thank all willing to go on this journey with me.

     All that is written for Beloved Chronicles will be posted online, always; as much as I believe in the worth of writing as labor, for myself it is more important that my work remain accessible to all. Currently, only the first volume of the series, String of Stardust is finished; I am in the process of writing its sister/sequel volumes, Pyre of Piety and Blossoms of Blood.

     Do note that this is a series written firmly for adults; and while rarely explicit, there is no hesitation in showing mature or upsetting subject matter. Please look at the content warnings if there is anything you do not wish to see, and refrain from reading entirely if you are below the age of sixteen.

This series is dedicated, in part, to my mother Kim, whose unconditional, selfless love made me believe a story as saccharine as this was not something ridiculous after all. Thank you for your faith in me, and the many ways in which you touched this work that you will never see. I hope in some small way this shall honor your memory, until we meet again too.      Beloved Chronicles is also dedicated to my dearest friend Meg, who numerous times pulled me from the brink of oblivion, during my darkest days, and whose friendship has brought me countless hours of joy. Thank you for always indulging my creativity, and continuing to remind me that love is not dead after all. May we have many more years of enjoying our little guys together.      Lastly, I would like to thank my father for his immense support of me, and my friends Mimi, Jon, and Nikki for always supporting my work, nearly from the moment I began sharing it in earnest. I will always appreciate the confidence you gave me in sharing my passion.

Link me!
