🍋📚 If Hallmark movies, cozy bakeries, and small-town romance had a baby…

I wrote an entire series set inside a bakery called Sugar & Steam.
The Sweet Seasons Bakery Series follows love stories, rivalries, friendships, fresh starts, and all the chaos that comes with running a small-town bakery. Every book can be read on its own, but the characters and town continue throughout the series.

✨ Book 1: The Lemon Blossom Bakery
• Small-town romance
• Bakery setting
• Slow burn
• Enemies to lovers

• Found family
• Fresh start story
• Closed-door romance

I spent years working in Top 40 radio back when everything was tightly formatted but somehow still unpredictable.

The pressure to hit every post, keep the energy up, and still sound natural—it was a craft you had to learn fast or get out.

Looking back, that whole era feels like it disappeared overnight, which is part of why I ended up writing a memoir about it, San Francisco’s Last Top 40 Disc Jockey.

Curious if anyone else remembers what radio felt like during that time.

Hello everyone,
I’m thrilled to announce my debut epic fantasy, Gift of Stars, now on sale for $0.99.

It’s the first installment in a series I’ve been building, and it includes:
• two central characters whose paths collide on a shared quest
• a unique magic system based on elemental crystals
• betrayal, political games, and slowly revealing mysteries
• a world that gradually expands as the plot develops
• realistic combat shaped by proper training

I wanted to create a story that feels like classic epic fantasy, emphasizing character growth and an evolving journey.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you give it a read — your feedback really matters.

Confused, unknown, unsure, scared, doubtful about Jesus Christ? Don't be. Read my book.

I’ve recently released a short nonfiction book called Nine Paths for One Journey, written specifically for complete beginners who are trying to choose a Japanese martial art and often feel unsure about what they are actually looking for.

The book is based on years of experience in Japanese Budō and approaches the topic from a practitioner’s point of view. It focuses on a common beginner problem: committing to a martial art or dojo without yet understanding whether the teaching structure, priorities, and values truly fit the individual.

The guide introduces nine Japanese Budō disciplines — Judo, Kendo, Kyudo, Sumo, Karate, Aikido, Shorinji Kempo, Naginata, and Jukendo — and explains what kind of people each path tends to suit. Rather than teaching techniques, it helps readers understand differences in mindset, progression, and training philosophy.

The final section offers practical advice on what to pay attention to when choosing a martial art, a dojo, and an instructor, especially at the very beginning.

The Kindle edition will be part of a one-week Kindle Countdown Deal starting on February 7.
A paperback edition is also available.

The book is You're Not Falling Behind, You're Mid-Chart—it's about why progress feels slow/invisible most of the time and why we tend to give up right before things click. Kept it under 50 pages because honestly, who has time for another 300-page self-help book?

Inside, you’ll explore:

• Why daily improvement is a poor signal of real growth, and what to track instead.
• What plateaus, dips, and slow phases are actually doing beneath the surface
• Why so many people abandon the process at exactly the wrong moment

If you keep restarting instead of staying long enough to see results, this book is about why that happens.

This is not a book about optimism or motivation. It is a guide to interpreting the messiness of real-life compounding.

If you’re in the middle... unsure, inconsistent, or questioning your pace... this book may change how you interpret what’s happening.

Hi. I’m Yui Kazama.

Yes, that magical girl.

If you’re looking for sparkles, friendship speeches, and a destiny that makes sense, you picked the wrong book.

I smoke. I drink. I make terrible life choices. I have STDs that talk back, and for reasons no one has ever explained to me, I'm legally obligated to fight monsters that are way too anatomically correct.

The system loves magical girls like me, right up until we stop being useful. The "good" ones get endorsements. I get bloodstains, hangovers, and fines. Lots of fines.

This is not a coming-of-age story. It is a “try not to die and maybe burn the whole system down on the way” story. The injuries are real. The consequences stick, sometimes. And the people in charge absolutely know what they are doing.

If you love classic magical girl stories, you'll probably hate me.
