  Peace, Love and Joy for the Holidays  And a Happy New Year!

Searching for a festive read?  This short story is for you if you’re a fan of my Geomancer’s Apprentice urban fantasy series, or if you like magic, madcap adventure, holiday vibes, and terrifying monsters. Read it for free now by subscribing to my newsletter!  If you’re already a subscriber, download it here . The holidays haven’t been merry for feng shui consultants Junie Soong and Joe Tham. Five days before Christmas, they run into a malevolent energy that turns inanimate objects into raging monsters hellbent on death and destruction. Even worse, the monsters are headed straight for a kids’ holiday party organized by Junie’s father. Can Junie and Joe save the day with the help of their resident tiger god? And as Christmas draws near, will Junie finally get the gift she wants with all her heart? This story takes place after the fifth book in The Geomancer's Apprentice series. You can still enjoy this holiday tale without having read any, or all, of the Geomancer books.

Are you a card-carrying member of a library?  If so, I have great news. My ebooks are available to libraries all over the world.  All you have to do is request that your library carry whichever book that you want. Some libraries have small budgets, while others have more money to spend. So no guarantees that your library will agree to your request. But it doesn’t hurt to ask.  And if your library does agree to pick up my ebooks, please let me know! You can email me at author@yinleong.com. I’m keeping a list of the libraries where my books are available.  When I was little, my dad and I used to go to our local library together. That was where I developed my love for reading and writing. It makes me happy that other readers can now access my books through their libraries.  On to Barnes & Noble. You can now buy my books in paperback format from Barnes & Noble, in addition to Amazon.  Thus far, only The Geomancer’s Apprentice series is available as pa...

I’ve refreshed the cover for Joss Paper , my collection of horror short stories.  The book was a passion project that I published in 2021. I wanted to write and share stories based on the folklore of Singapore and Malaysia that I grew up with.  The newer look includes a clearer book title and darker colors that signal the horror genre. If you look closely, you can see the banana leaf in front of the cover model. Banana plants are associated with the pontianak, a succubus-like vengeful spirit that is one of Southeast Asia’s most recognized folklore entities.  Read the blurb here .   Fun fact: the logo for Kampung Kreepy Books is a chibi pontianak. “Chibi” is a Japanese art style commonly seen in anime and manga that emphasizes cuteness.  You can read more about the pontianak on my author website .  The old cover:
