Synopsis:

The age of samurai is coming to a close.

As the emperor claims his new capital in Edo and brings his imperialists with him, the terminally ill Okita Souji must flee his home to seek solace from his elder sister, Kin. But as his health continues to decline and the reality that his way of life, the way of the samurai, has been lost forever settles in, Souji struggles to grasp meaning and purpose for the remainder of his frail existence.

Is there a life beyond the sword for Souji and if there is, can he lay down his katana forever?

This novella includes three original illustrations by Moriah Jane.

Hey! What’s New?

Hello friends! How has the new year been treating you?

This year is looking to have a crazy start for me! I’ll be moving with my family from an apartment into a house (yay!) within the next month or so. Writing tends to go off kilter during moving periods, so I will more than likely be taking a short break to unpack and set up my room.

But never fear! New stories will be coming soon!

The highlights:

  1. The drafting phase for Vampiric Red book 2 is complete! Woohoo! Lord willing, the book will be released in the fall of this year!
  2. I hope to publish another short story! I just completed the draft for a historical fiction piece called Souji. For those familiar with samurai and Japanese history, you’ve guessed it! The story is a fresh take on Okita Souji. I do not have an estimated time for release as Vampiric Red takes higher priority. But I will keep you all updated!
  3. I am starting a fanart section on here! If you draw fanart of any of my stories, I would love to see it! Just tag me on social media, post it in the comments, or email me at moriahjaneauthor@gmail.com I’ll post the art on here as well as share it to my social pages.

That’s all for now. As always, I’ll keep everyone up to date as much as possible. And don’t forget to follow me on my social platforms for quick updates and writing adventures!

See you~!
