I start this with mixed feelings. The last time I created a website and social media presence was 10 years ago when my first two books - Kasumi vol. 1 & 2 were published.

The year 2008 was filled with extreme happiness and tragic sadness. Kasumi vol. 1 came out the same month as my first child (yes, I was pregnant when I was finishing up the graphics for vol.1). But, the month before my double happiness was to happen, my father passed away. In that moment I felt the extreme highs and lows of life. It was then I began to hold a firm belief that the Universe needed to right itself.

A few years after, when Sugimoto-san and I had to stop Kasumi, it felt as if my heart was torn out again. We loved our fans and wanted to share Kasumi with the world but the realities of life, financial situations and publishing caught up. It took 10 years to be back here again. And now it begins again as another chapter ends.

My heart fills with hope.
