The intoxicating atmosphere of the past
Kohōpeh
March 23, 2026
This is a special year for me. Just before my birthday, I completed two works: a novel set in 1600s Japan, sent to several agents, and a novella, a prequel of sorts, set in 1500s Thailand.
Over the last few years, I transitioned from a professional life as a freelance site/platform engineer to become a full-time writer. Since I was 14 yo, I have accumulated sketches, roughs, research notes, synopses, timelines, and story chunks in the 'rough folios.' Many were victims of various IT mishaps, but some survived. I can now mine, refine and define additional works.

What should work: subscribing to the newsletter, unsubscribing, sending the newsletter, the broadcast to the Atmosphere—BlueSky and standard.site—, as well as the RSS feed. However, all features are still new, shiny, and possibly not well-rounded yet. You can tag us or DM via the BlueSky link at the bottom if you were to bump into issues. Strictly no solicitation.
