Kumotawa Confluence, A Unique Urban Fantasy Set in Modern Japan

Hi everyone,

Kumotawa Confluence is a unique urban fantasy set in a modern Japan where magic works. The primary settings are a convenience store or konbini at the base of Mount Kumotawa, the mountain itself, and the shrine on it that protects our world. 

The SuperQuickly konbini (convenience store) at the base of Mount Kumotawa. Yuriko, one of the main protagonists, a former special forces operator is a manager here.

This novel incorporates Japanese mythological elements, action you would find in a military thriller, magic from fantasy, and selected elements from anime. It is a character-focused action drama that emphasizes the bonds between people. You have a secluded Sword Princess who craves friendship, teen girls coming of age, a parallel-world hopping cat, grizzled ninja mentors, special forces veterans using their skills to the max, and a mother rebuilding her relationship with her daughter. It is a narrative that starts small and ends big with world-changing consequences.

To help launch the book, I am serializing it at Royal Road, where you can read it for free. 

This novel will be released as both an ebook and a print book in the future. I would like to thank the reviewers at the Edmonton Writer's Group for their help and time. 

Honden at Kumotawa Shrine. This is the main shrine building or hall of any Shinto shrine. A great deal of action occurs at the shrine.
