New book release: Our Funny Love Story

My debut novel is out!

A novel that was first conceived in the back of a taxi when a popular song played on the stereo. In that moment, all I could see was twilight reflecting off a glass-and-concrete landscape. 

One year later, it has moved from the recesses of my brain and into your hands.

One misdelivered package. Two men hiding behind very different masks. Three stories that bind them together in a megacity of millions.

OUR FUNNY LOVE STORY is out today.

🔍 Literary Mystery 🏠 True Grumpy/Fake Sunshine 🇯🇵 Set in Tokyo

It’s Book 1 of a duet—a darkly ironic Achillean mystery for those who like their banter hot, their protagonists outrageous (at times!), their burn simmering, and their prose introspective.


WHERE TO PURCHASE

As always, if you'd like to support an indie author's debut, please consider making your purchase on my online shop (Byrd's Bookshop) at https://payhip.com/ByrdKoto (if shipping isn't too costly!). You get better bang for your buck: better quality than KDP paperbacks :0), cheaper than retail, more goodies! You'll also find stuff that you won't find anywhere else ;-) 

By removing the middleman, I'll also earn a larger cut, which will be used to fund future projects. They are coming!
