I've begun publishing Jigsaw City on #RoyalRoad: royalroad.com/fiction/108234/j

Nicole receives a magical coin for her 20th birthday, but accidentally duplicates its magic into her mind. The enchantment begins to threaten her sanity and she seeks a cure, to save herself.

She searches for those that made the coin, hoping one of them will give her a glimmer of hope, before she loses her mind.

The cover of Jigsaw City, by Owen Tyme. The background is a futuristic city of sky scrapers covered in greenery, with water ways in place of some streets. The background has been divided by dark lines that cut it up, into a jigsaw puzzle. The foreground is a brassy hexagonal coin with an indentation in the center that follows the same shape, with raised lines forming a hexagram in the center, which has a smaller one turned at a ninety-degree angle inside the hexagon at the center of it. The smaller hexagram has another inside it, a pattern that repeats until the lines become so fine and indistinct, they blend together.

Check out this recent review of my high fantasy indie novel, Sins of a Dying Empire, part of Below the Heavens!

The first two books are available for free (as well as the currently publishing, serialized third book) in web novel form on Royalroad, found in my bio!

A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is an illustration of a landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large red solar eclipse dominating the sky. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. Inside this square border is the graphic title in bold gray text outlined with black, which reads "Below the Heavens." Directly underneath that in bold red text outlined with black is the subtitle, which reads "For lovers of Asian-inspired epic high fantasy!". Beneath the subtitle are 5 red stars, the rating given. Below that in bold gray text outlined with black is a quote, which reads: "I love the rich world-building. Traditionally-published epic fantasy has so rarely featured Asian-inspired settings, and it is a joy to see the myths and folktales that I grew up with play into the world of “Below the Heavens.” " Below that is more text that reads "Free e-novel".

A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a photo of a large and vast library with arched ceilings and gloomy lighting. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent gray square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. The title reads "Two New Releases!" in bold gray text, and below that to the left is a graphic of the book cover. To the right of the book is more text, which reads "Book 3: Sands Under a Silent Sun" Slightly below that in a new paragraph, the text reads "Chapter 71: Aliyah" and "Chapter 72: Silhouettes". Below the book and centered on the graphic itself is more text, which reads "Check out this East Asian inspired novel, as well as its predecessor, on Royal Road! Available for free via web browser or their mobile app. The link is in my bio!"

A square reveal graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a darkened photo of a worn, wooden shelf with haphazardly stacked books filling it to the brim. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. In the middle of this square frame is another black outline frame which is rectangular and has rounded corners. This frame contains a book cover, which features a graphic art landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large yellow solar eclipse dominating the sky. Over the top of this art work, in bold gray text outlined with black, is the series name, "Below the Heavens." Below that in the same text but slightly larger is the book title, "Sands Under a Silent Sun". Underneath the title in bold red text with a black outline is the author's name, "CKMo".

I'm CKMo (he/him), a Taiwanese writer living in the bay area of California. One of my goals in writing is to help bring more themes and ideas from East Asian culture into Western media. Some of the other reasons I decided to write include my characters. They've lived with me for some time, and wanted their story to be told. I've also been a fan of the written word since I was young, which started to draw me towards crafting my own prose. Between these and the fact that I have a penchant for writing cool lines, I needed to create a world for all these things to come together. Some of the other hobbies I have outside of writing include Magic the Gathering, various genres of video games, and anime of course. Due to my full time job, I'm assisted in running my accounts by a social media manager. Most posts and comments will be handled by them, but any DMs, emails, or other personal communications will be responded to by myself personally."

My CP's #LitRPG #ProgressionFantasy on #RoyalRoad is now getting homophobic review bombs--which was expected but still sucks. If you're interested in a fantastic #isekai story about an actor who dies and is reborn as a glass bottle of ink expected to do housework, who has to escape with an elf trapped in a clockwork toy before a void monster catches them, this story is for you!

Cover shows a glass bottle of ink swept up in a tide of purple, among books with a clockwork octopus in the background. Title reads Glass Kanin NPSeeds Saga Author: Kia Leep
