Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hello dear readers! :3 My name is Ririchi [リリ血] but you can call me Riri-sensei. A little bit about me! I am an Asian lady in her late 20s who lives in USA. My favorite animals are cats but I love all animals very much. My favorite colors are green, black and red. I also love pastel colors. My zodiac sign is Capricorn, yay cappies. ^_^ In my daily life, I suffer from several medical conditions and I have physical disabilities. This makes life a little tricky but I try my best to live a good life and do enjoyable things. c:
As for my interests & hobbies, I am a huge nerd who loves anime, manga, and video games! I play lots of RPG games and several MMOs in my free time. 😀 Stardew Valley, Black Desert, Tera & The Gray Garden are some of my favorites. I love old school retro games and pixel games a lot too.
I also enjoy cooking, sewing, and doing arts & craft projects. I am a certified henna artist and enjoy drawing body art in my free time. In addition, I have a passion for astrology, divination, occultism, and spiritualism.
With that being said, I have written and published 1 book so far but my goal is to publish a 20 novels. 🙂
