Description

Scratching all the wrong posts

Catgal and technical genius, Toriko Purg had a simple plan for her twenty-fifth birthday: cake, a round of Super Carnage Royale, and a low-key test of her latest power armor. Instead, she accidentally gives rise to a sentient AI—illegal and degrading fast.


Forced to destroy what should've been her greatest achievement, Toriko returns to her homeworld of Tericn to face the consequences. The Elders are not a-mewsed.


Her punishment quickly unravels into something far more dangerous. Beneath Tericn's polished surface lies a tangled mess of secrets, shadowy tech, and long-buried corruption—ensnaring even her own friends and family. As Toriko claws at the truth, her efforts draw dangerous attention.


Now her name is on the chopping block. With her sister at her side, a snarky AI in her ear, and a whole world flesh and code turned against her, will her 9 lives be enough to expose it all and survive this?

A Note From the Publisher

I write sci-fi and fantasy where high-tech futures meet the messiness of being human. My stories dive into identity, belonging, and the fight to find your place-set against the backdrop of superpowers, alien worlds, and cultures reshaped by AI and advancing tech.

At the core are characters who feel real: people caught between who they were and who they're becoming, all while navigating prejudice, mental health, and systems that don't always have their best interests at heart. Whether they're facing down interstellar threats or their own inner battles, their journeys are about courage, connection, and choosing who you want to be.

If you're into bold, emotional adventures with heart, high stakes, and questions that reflect our world, step into Toriko Tales. As I like to say: Without further ado, allow me to take you on a journey.

Advance Praise

"Vivid and fast-paced writing. Action scenes feel like cinematic explosions … lightning fast, detailed, and packed with personality."

Literary Titan 5 stars + Golden Book Award


“There's a deep vein of emotional weight running through it. Toriko's birthday isnt just a backdrop, it's a moment of reflection. Her creations are powerful but unpredictable, and she has to face the consequences when things go sideways. That mix of chaos and conscience hit me harder than I expected, especially in the later chapters. ”

Literary Titan 5 stars + Golden Book Award


“Cyberpunk intrigue meets space-opera stakes—Toriko's journey is emotional, explosive, and unforgettable.”

Marketing Plan

Toriko Tales: Toriko vs. the Crowned Paw is a YA/NA sci-fi adventure launching on Amazon as the primary sales channel, with Kindle Unlimited enrollment to drive page reads and binge behavior. The marketing strategy uses Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok-style creatives to reach readers who love sci-fi, anime aesthetics, found-family stories, and strong female leads—then funnels them to Amazon and the Toriko microsite, where a free first chapter + visual bonus pack is offered in exchange for email sign-ups.

The campaign centers on three rotating hook pillars tested across ads and content:

• Toriko’s unjust imprisonment and social exile

• The secret tech-driven world she uncovers

• The fierce sisterhood and emotional stakes behind her rebellion

These hooks are deployed across cover-forward ads, quote tiles, and short-form video to capture both binge readers and visual-first fandoms (cosplay, gamer girls, anime fans, webcomic readers).

Readers’ Favorite and Literary Titan reviews are integrated into Amazon Editorial Reviews, A+ Content, ad creatives, and NetGalley materials to build credibility and conversion confidence.

Marketing is phased:

• Pre-launch establishes cover, taglines, reviews, and A+ Content

• Launch scales paid traffic, Goodreads giveaways, and early reviews

• Post-launch optimizes targeting, grows the Toriko fan list, and builds momentum for future volumes

A detailed 90-day rollout appears below.
