Greetings and salutations! I’m very excited about the progress Love Over Kpop has been enjoying over on its new platform, Tapas. I have 37 episodes up now on the platform, with 10 more to go before the serial novel is complete. I just scheduled some more episodes up through next week, and it looks like the full novel will be up by Valentine’s Day.

So very excited to have it all available on this new platform in time for the pivotal holiday for romances. It is definitely a labor of love to bring you this FREE online novel. It has gone through so much. From revisions, three editors, three platforms and my blood, sweat and tears, I do hope you enjoy it. If you do, please let me know in the comments here, or subscribe, like on the Tapas platform. It REALLY helps with its visibility.

I’ll also be frank, I have to get 100 subscribers before I start getting any kind of revenue for it. Ad revenue from stories starts when you have 100 subscribers on Tapas. Much more opens up when you have 250 subscribers. It’s like the world runs on likes, comments and subscribers now.

I remember when a review on the Zon meant so much back in the 2010s. Which, of course, it still does. But people aren’t reviewing like they used to when reviews all first got set up in the late 00s. It just reminds me how long I’ve been on this writing journey.

I guess with all this new effort put into my serial novels over the last year, I’m doing a lot of reflecting on my writing journey and how Indie publishing keeps adapting and changing. Of course, at the bottom of it all, is solid, good writing. Don’t even get me started on AI. I will have to do a future blog post on AI alone. Because it’s a huge subject of discussion among writers right now.

But for the present, I want to celebrate the accomplishment of the completion of “Love Over Kpop” on Tapas soon, and just wish you all a very HAPPY VALENTINE’s Day! I hope you’ll include “Love Over Kpop” or any of my other serial novels or ebooks in your reading list for this romantic annual holiday. Best wishes and may you find your new book boyfriend.
