Xia Xia Lake decided a couple of years ago that she wanted to spend her free time writing stories about mythologies. She was a student at the Bucharest University of Foreign Languages, Japanese Major - English Minor, where she fell in love with Japanese History and Ancient Literature. At twenty years old, she got hired in an IT corporation, where she spent the next decade forgetting everything she ever learned in school, including the Japanese language. In 2017, she took two months vacation from work and with the help of Kogitsune, she dusted off her school books and began writing as a method of stress relief.
This is how the Takamagahara Monogatari was born.


Xia currently lives in Bucharest with her husband and two giant Bucovina Shepherd

The right book at the right time does wonders. A couple of years ago, during my dark romance phase, this would have been a DNF for sure. This time I needed a low stakes, sweet story without too much drama and it's just what this book was.

“Upon Hirotsugu’s birth, the Fujiwara clan made great plans for his future, and I watched from my throne of skulls behind the kagerō veil and laughed and laughed and laughed.”
Xia Xia Lake, Shinigami

“There are many kinds of love. There is the love one feels for his sire for breathing life into his bones. There is the love for brothers, and there is the love for friends. And then is the love that brings the heaviest of heartaches.”
Xia Xia Lake, Kogitsune

“I am here with you, boy,” she said softly. “Listen to my voice. Remember who I am. I am your Dominant. Your master and protector. I am your liberator and the bearer of your pain. Trust me, and give me your old pain. I will lift it away. Trust me to take away your past, and give you a future. Trust me to hold you tight as I take you away from your hell. I am everything you need. Stop fighting your nightmares yourself, and let me fight them for you.”
Xia Xia Lake, The Darkness of Our Wounds: Ciarán

“Literature is the ditch I'm going to die in. It's still the thing I care most about.”
Thomas McGuane

“I saw death come for you, and I had no philosophy.”
Mary Renault, The Last of the Wine
tags: love

“We shall either find what we are seeking, or free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.”
Mary Renault, The Last of the Wine

“Three Rings for Elven-Kings under the sky
Seven for the Dwarf-Lords in their halls of stone
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.”
Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim
