If you're looking for an urban fantasy story set in modern Japan, Kumotawa Confluence, might just be what you are looking for. In this world magic works near convergence points between different worlds. These weaknesses in space-time are called Confluences, and this novel centres on a particular one at Mount Kumotawa. The setting includes shrines, foggy mountain slopes, a convenience store that is more than it seems, a mysterious cat, and a diverse cast of characters including a sword princess. A rich mix of of Japanese culture and mythology is used to craft a gripping story that starts small and ends big.
This is my second completed novel and third completed book (I have a published Tokyo guidebook, too). I started this novel years ago, before the Great Lockdown and worked on it in my spare time. I've talked about my planning and outlining methodologies before, and this is the culmination of my efforts. Still, it wasn't something I did on my own, and I thank my reviewers and the Edmonton Writers' Group for their help.
I will be serializing the novel first on Royal Road and then on other platforms. An ebook version and a paperback will be published sometime when the serialization is half or 2/3 done, but I expect to serialize the entire novel online to start.
