Why This Store Exists

I’m a self-published author writing stories that celebrate CHamoru culture, history, and folklore. My books are paranormal thrillers that are rooted in the values of faith, resilience, and respect—values passed down by our ancestors and still relevant today.

But self-publishing isn’t easy. Bringing a story from draft to published book requires resources for:

• Editing & Proofreading
• Cover Design & Formatting
• Advertising & Editorial Reviews
• And more.

Instead of asking for donations, I wanted to build something that gives back to our community—products that proudly reflect our identity, our values, and our stories.

That’s why I created this store.

Every purchase you make here—whether it’s a shirt, a tote, or anything else—helps fund my journey to write and publish more CHamoru stories to share our culture with the world and for future generations of CHamorus to enjoy.

You’re not just buying a product. You’re helping keep our stories alive.
