Dear Agents. You might have noticed that Persuasion in the Pantry had been removed from . To all of you who commented, liked and supported me through those early years- I am profoundly grateful. You kept me inspired and made me feel so valued. 1 million reads. Over 56k votes. And an inbox full of requests for more.

It breaks my heart a little too delete all of that hard work but I am doing it with the vision that something even greater will emerge. To those of you who are still reading, I am sorry to stall the journey. However I am now submitting to publishers and hopefully one day soon you will be able to hold a copy in your own hands.

The book has undergone a significant edit and repackage. I think the story is much more refined now and there is a depth to the characters that shines through even more.

As always, I am still here writing.

Remember, Chiyo, geisha are not courtesans. And we are not wives. We sell our skills, not our bodies. We create another secret world, a place only of beauty.

"Growing up, my hair always had negative associations attached to it. I've since realised that it is this belief that has done the most damage. A lie we've all been fed is that Afro textured hair is somehow inferior because it doesn't conform to Western standards of beauty... this story is about accepting yourself and loving yourself as you are and stepping into the power that it gives you. A power that is already there waiting. All you have to do is claim it." -
