After wanting to do this for ages, I finally sat down and recorded everything. It was such a lot of fun! Getting the cafe down into 3D gave me inspiration for the next book and it also reminded me of how much I love Cassie and Silver Linings Cafe. (It also reminded me of how much I miss Iwata, the real town 😂 and the imaginary one too I guess)

I definitely made some mistakes but learned a lot about recording and editing videos. Using what I learned, I’m keeping my fingers crossed the second half of the build goes better in the next video!

Also, any advice is welcomed! I would also love to hear what you want to see me build next, the characters, or if you’d like me to try a totally different game altogether.

((The second video sounds SO MUCH BETTER!!! 🥹I learned a lot over the week during my attempts))

Lattes with Starlight is a cozy urban fantasy that takes place in Japan featuring a mashup of Japanese and global folklore. The romance and found family are so sweet it’ll give you a toothache.

Set against the rural and suburban areas of Missouri, Shadows in Her Bones is a paranormal romance with a complex female lead and a soft-hearted werewolf who falls head over heels for her. For fans of Supernatural and Werewolf by Night.

Out of My Skin is not a romance. This urban fantasy contains darker themes written in poetic prose. Despite it’s darkness it will leave you empowered and ready to shred the patriarchy to pieces.
