#gildedbook

I wrote GILDED to inspire my students at @seoul_foreign_school to explore Korean culture while studying the craft of writing. It started out as a story about my life and my student’s lives, living as expats in a beautiful country. I can’t believe the journey this book has taken and I’m so thankful for all the support and the readers who have read this story. My hope is it will bring others to fall in love with Korea and its people as much as I have. * * * #gilded #gildedbook #gildedseries #yareaders #yafantasy #bookstagram #bookfun #booklove #korea #lovetoread #readmorebooks #tweenread #reading #yafantasyseries #yacontemporaryfantasy #readmore #reader #fantasybooks #yareadersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOAEb9rl5F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Me while I was living in Seoul, Korea, my home for nearly a decade! This street inspired the scene in GILDED on page 193-294 (of hardcover and paperback versions). “Above, tall grayish buildings jut into a sky that threatens of snow, and hundreds of wires string across building to building, an electrician’s nightmare.” The fun part about writing the Gilded series is setting and pulling in moments in my own life. I always joke that the series is more fact than fiction. * * * #seoul #korea #livinginseoul #gildedbook #gilded #thegildedseries #bookstagram #booknerd #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #travel #travelgram #traveladdict #traveling #traveltheworld #ilovekorea (at Seoul, Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDxtMSJ_Vf/?utm_medium=tumblr
