Added 2025-10-15 19:12:43 +0000 UTC

Hey guys,

Winter 1999 is the newest short story from my Love, Murder, Basketball series.

It follows Hiro and Sakura Tanaka during their first year as parents. They’re doing their best to raise a newborn in a neighborhood that doesn’t accept them, facing discrimination, financial struggles, and the kind of loneliness that comes with being seen as outsiders.

It’s a quiet story about love, survival, and what it means to keep going even when the world feels cold.

What to expect:
♡ Early look into the Tanaka family’s beginnings
♡ Struggles of young parenthood and poverty
♡ Subtle tension and realism
♡ A small but powerful piece of their world

57 pages!

All proceeds from Winter 1999 will go toward my dog’s treatment. My goal is to sell 80 copies to reach the amount needed by the end of this week. Every bit of support helps more than I can say.
