Monkey King Book 2 - Cover Reveal!

Pre-order starts today!

A quick break from the Comic Zine post series! (But check out this post series, if you haven’t already. I will continue discussing creating comic zine next week.)

Since the publication of Monkey King and the World of Myths: The Monster and the Maze (Book 1), I have received a lot of emails and messages from parents, educators, and young readers, all expressing their love to the book.

I would like to thank all the readers wholeheartedly for your kind support and your wonderful encouragements. These messages mean the world to a creator.

If you are thinking of gifting a great read to young readers this holiday season, Monkey King and the World of Myths is a great choice! It is mixed world mythological adventure filled with actions and humor, and it celebrates the love of friendship.

It has also been selected by Kirkus Review as one of their Best Books of the Year!

Order today via your favorite bookstores, including all the wonderful independent bookstores, Bookshop, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, or Amazon.

Many thanks as well to all the fans who sent me their amazing artwork of Monkey King! I feel truly honored that you love the series so much and am always amazed at how talented you all are!
