Spotlights6 months ago2 min readAdd comment

Welcome to our Saturday Spotlight feature where we at Read Indie Fantasy will be hosting a new spotlight every Saturday to showcase the incredible talent of self-published fantasy authors!

Please welcome Tessa Hastjarjanto and Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume II, the sequel to Tales of Lunis Aquaria, a collection of short stories that combine new fairy tales with a Ghibi charm.

Decades have passed since the old gods vanished, but their divine mark still lingers on Lunis Aquaria. Look carefully, and you’ll find traces of them hidden in stories and whispered in the hinterlands. Will you unravel their secrets?

Step into Lunis Aquaria with nine new tales of adventure, mystery, and wonder.

While most stories can be read as standalones, some refer back to stories included in Tales of Lunis Aquaria volume 1.

Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume II by Tessa Hastjarjanto is a new release and is available from online retailers now.

About the Author

Tessa Hastjarjanto is a Dutch/Indonesian writer from the Netherlands. She writes speculative fiction, and blogs at narratess.com about books, fountain pens, and writing.

From a young age, she imitated popular stories and games in creating her own worlds. This love eventually led to a master’s degree in media and game studies at the University of Utrecht. However a mundane desk job was enough to inspire her to follow her creative passion. The first fanfics were written in lunch breaks and soon original fiction followed.

With the support of her husband, she now focuses on her writing career while battling chronic pain. Swiss white shepherd, Shiro, acts as a therapy dog to keep her healthy and reduce stress through extensive cuddle sessions.
