About

Soliloquy in Blue came into being in April of 2006. Since then, I’ve posted over a thousand reviews of manga, manhwa, novels, nonfiction, and the occasional Western comic. My tastes span genres and demographics, and I love getting recommendations from readers!

Occasionally, some of my book reviews will be posted under the Triple Take category and republished on the Triple Take blog. Triple Take is a project in which two friends and I read, review, and discuss one mutually agreed-upon book per month. Each entry of mine in this category will contain a link to their takes on the same book.

For two years, from summer 2008 to summer 2010, I wrote for Manga Recon and from January 2009 served as the Senior Manga Editor. This experience made a huge difference in my life, introducing me to a very talented crew of reviewers (as well as publishers’ representatives) and allowing me to hone my writing skills. You can find my personal archive of reviews here.

I’ve also written for Comics Should Be Good, in a column known as Blue Moon Reviews and in a series of roundtables with Melinda Beasi and Danielle Leigh called The NANA Project. The latest news is that, after a year of regular contributions to Melinda’s Manga Bookshelf, I have officially joined that collective, effective June 2011.
