Cover of The Subtle Art of Folding Space, coming April 7, 2026 Four sets of bamboo steamers going from the top of the cover to the bottom. The top one holds steamed bao. The contents of each steamer below it get progressively more surreal. One has bao with the universe as a filling. The next steamer below it has planets. The last steamer is filled with gear works. Two hands holding red chopsticks reach for the first and third steamer.
The Subtle Art of Folding Space, is the exhilarating debut science fiction novel from Nebula and Hugo-winning author John Chu channels unhinged physics, generational trauma, and the comfort of really good dim sum. This isn't your usual jaunt through quantum physics. Ellie's universe, and this one, is falling apart. Her ailing mother is in a coma; her sister, Chris, accuses her of being insufficiently Taiwanese between assassination attempts; and a shadowy cabal of engineers is trying to hijack the skunkworks, the machinery that keeps the physics of each universe working the way it's supposed to. Daniel, Ellie's cousin, has found an illicit device in the skunkworks-one that keeps Ellie's comatose mother alive while also creating destabilizing bugs in the physics of this universe. It's not a good day. If she can confront her mother's legacy and overcome her family's generational trauma, she just might find a way to preserve the skunkworks and reconcile with her sister...but digging into her family's past is thornier than it seems, and the secrets she uncovers will force Ellie to choose between her family and the universe itself.
My novel, The Subtle Art of Folding Space, has a cover!
Read about repairing physics, unreasonable parental expectations, and great Taiwanese food! Out on April 7, 2026. Pre-order now: t.co/0nz8JuNhwf

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
I did, yes. A thriller-noir-cyberpunk near future science fiction novel.
'Thriller, fantasy, history' is an intriguing description! *adds to my tbr 😉
Ooo thank you!!
A stormy blue and purple background with the covers of the four currently published books in my Arcanium series lined up in a row: River of Crows, Mirror of Wolves, Stone of Serpents, Chalice of Caladriai. Gold text at the top says: "The Arcanium Saga". Smaller white snippets of text are arrayed at angles all around the covers. Those snippets give an overview of what to expect in the series and they say: - epic magic battles - awesome origami magic - told from multiple points of view - magic manifests differently for everyone - tyrant emperor with dark magic - enchanted army of birds - new friends become there-for-you-always friends - siblings - a villain and henchman you love to hate - action! danger! mayhem! snark! - people tell me they bought it for their kids then stayed up all night to read it themselves - a mysterious crow with a white feather - a different take on shapeshifters - grumpy gardening sorcerer with an apothecary shop - hobs and gnomes and dragons (oh my!) - Chosen One (... maybe...?)
I have an upper middle grade fantasy series and 2 places to buy direct. There's a bundle deal for the first 3 books available in my Payhip author shop, and all books are also available on Itchio (but not as a bundle - that's only in my author shop). 😊 🐦⬛✨

The suburban population has retreated to apartment complexes, where they created miniature societies. Garrett, Erik, and Jenna try to survive this world any way they can. Will Garrett get stuck in the fear of the unknown like everyone else? Can Erik keep his world from crumbling? And, how much more can the epidemic and new world take from Jenna? Zombie dystopian novella (first published March 16, 2016) What readers are saying... Damn! Who knew that a book about zombies could actually connect with me emotionally? I had no idea how attached I would become to certain characters when I first began reading. I actually teared up a little during one part of the book. I’ve got to hand it to the author, this read was anything but predictable. The narrative switches between the prospective of a couple, Erik and Jenna, and Garrett, a teenager that the couple looks out for.
