Cereus & Limnic: Escape From Okinawa Type-B is done... sort of.

Because this story will spans an entire military conflict, I've decided to break it up into three books or "files."

Each file will release as a separate title with a special omnibus version (secrets included) planned for final release.

Why break the book up?

Because modern readers are more likely to pick up and stick with a read if it's shorter.

Even the original *Cereus & Limnic* (At around 140k words) is way too long by 2025 standards. I don't like it, but that's the way it is.

I will begin to publish a percentage of each document as I complete them.

But if you're subbed to my website, you'll see full docs before anyone else (so be sure to join!!)

## A Personal Story

This novel marks my most personal story to date. Drawing on existing family dynamics, I did my best to put real raw emotion into the main characters (modeled after my brothers and I) while preserving my original intent for writing this book— to craft a sort of love letter to all the tiny, yet culturally rich islands I visited while living in Okinawa.

If you have siblings and have ever felt like declaring war on them for reasons big or small, you'll find a lot to enjoy here.

I look forward to sharing more of the story with you.
