Hey folks, I have some book news to share! I have signed a contract with Aloha Comics to translate an art and poetry book entitled 《猫仙人的世界》 The World of Cat Immortals, created by the Xian Mao Li Jiang 仙猫狸将 arts collective. The book is forthcoming in 2025.
The book has some of my favourite elements: poetry, Chinese mythology, and of course, cats! To summarize the book in a sentence, I’d describe it as “Chinese immortals and deities from mythology reimagined as cats, accompanied by many short poems.”
For the wuxia fans out there, the Chinese book has been blurbed by Lee Chi-Ching 李志清, the acclaimed HK artist who drew the Condor Heroes manhua 🙂 (I’m still hoping someone would pick up that series too…)
Here’s a picture of the cover of the Chinese original.

I really look forward to working on this book and sharing it with you in 2025!
