My Bibliography

Life With Poetry Series

Drinking Poetry - My first published book. I wrote the first edition of the book in 2017. It’s a collection of poems celebrating the diversity and styles of tea, coffee and alcohol. I went to a writing course and it inspired me to write lots of poems and it helped me create lots of books. A lot of my books are short, but I am still proud of them. A friend of mine suggested I do a Drinking Poetry Part II with an alcoholic focus.

Living Poetry - This is a collection of poems I write that spanned over 20 years from stuff I wrote as a kid, from being a teenager and stuff that was new at the time. The first poem I ever wrote, Shells is in this book. It’s short and sweet, but it makes me feel sentimental.

Travelling Poetry - I love travelling because it introduces me to new things and discoveries. So when I wrote this book, I had loads of ideas from my day trips around the country and also my big holidays in Japan and Netherlands.

Daily Poetry - This is a short book were all my poems written for National Poetry Month where you write a poem every day. I really loved doing it. Even though I haven’t done it since, I wonder if I would succeed again, if I did.

Loving Poetry - I wrote poems based on the word love. They’re not explicitly romantic though. Some of the poems were based on things that I was passionate about.

Lockdown Poetry - I normally cross post books on other platforms outside of KDP, but because Loving Poetry and Daily Poetry were short, they didn’t meet the page count requirements. One way around this was to merge both books together as well as the edition of new poems I wrote before and during lockdown.

Eating Poetry - I selected some of my old poems based on foods. Around the time I was putting this book together, I joined the Oxford Poetry Library and got into their workshops. These inspired me to write a lot of poetry. A lot of my recent Vocal challenges are also in this book.

Novels

Game of Mass Destruction is my magnum opus. It’s the novel I always wanted to write. I know it’s a dark book with strange humour and sci-fi for acquired taste, but it’s the type of dystopia I love writing. I really want to write more stuff with the characters in these books. It’s been described as a crossover between Battle Royale and Hunger Games but on steroids. It charted on Amazon’s erotic science fiction list, despite the fact I think it’s about as erotic wet fish.

Emerald Oasis was my first novel. I wrote it based in my experiences working in a nursing home. It was a pleasant shock that it was shortlisted in the Wattys when it entered. It was fun writing about fairies and how the main character delves into her dementia.

Novellas

Fishman was an important novella to write. Mental health in men is vastly over looked. Bobby is a character that had lost a lot of things in life, amd then this man who claims to be dating his dead sister saves him.

Inbu’s Heart was something silly that I wrote as a laugh during lockdown. It was inspired by the humorous visual novels and costume dramas I had binged upon. It got slated on Goodreads, but it has been translated into other languages and they adored the book, so it was worth publishing.

The K-Pop Scandal - I have uploaded this on Wattpad with the intention of entering the Wattys. It’s one of the biggest writing contests out there, and it’s always fun to do. It’s about a fake romance in a K-Pop duo. The main couple are two men, but its the women really stand out for me. After the Wattys, I plan to publish it next year.

The Soul Sound of the Sugababes - This is basically my love letter to my favourite band. I am going to their meet & greet at the O2 in September.

Miscellaneous

I don’t know if any of these count, but I have my Vocal profile! I write fan fiction on Wattpad, A03 and fan fiction under my pen-name, Chloboshoka. I mainly write for Pokémon, Ace Attorney and crossovers with multiple fandoms. I’ve had letters published in Neo Magazine, Nintendo UK, Writers’ Forum, the Writing Magazine and some real life mags.

I did some brief dabbling with low content books. They were fun to do, and they helped me gain more experience in using Canva. I mainly created them for my friends as presents, and they really enjoyed them. I think my Fill the Haiku book and Draw a Character Challenge book turned out great.

I have also been lucky to have three stories picked to be published on 101words, and some articles on the award winning, Super Jump magazine.

I was honoured to have my short story, On Call in issue 4 of a zine published by Dark Helix Press. The zines doesn’t seem to be available anymore, but I have published the story on Vocal.
