Below is what I posted on Insta: 

🥁Here's why I've been quiet of late -- and for those who know me well -- a little wiggy, too. I've been researching and writing a book!✒️📖_The Book of Japanese Folklore: An Encyclopedia of the Spirits, Monsters, and Yōkai of Japanese Myth_ will be published by Adams Media (and imprint of Simon and Schuster) in the Spring of 2024. It's a who's who of 45 of these darling Japanese beasties with a couple mythical heroes thrown in for good measure. There's backstory, cultural significance, tales they appear in, and where you might just bump into them today in manga, anime, movies, and games. The cover is ✨stunning✨ and 30 of the 45 creatures will have an original piece of art created by artist Michelle Wang. Aaand...it's already available for preorder here ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡: https://amzn.to/42La7fs

Special love and huge thanks to all my patrons. I'm going to be messaging privately those who helped with the "secret assignment" so I can get the name you'd like me to use in the Acknowledgments. 🥰
