Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs.
My name is April I was born and raised under the Philippine tropical sunshine, currently living my best life in Southern Maryland.
I'm also a dog mom, yes it's a thing. I have four little furry dragons.
When I'm not working at my full time job, you can find me at home reading or broadcasting or if it's a beautiful day, I might be on a little road trip taking photos that help inspire me.
I host a radio show, April On Air, at Phoenix Six Three Radio.
​
I also have a brand new podcast called April On Air hosted on Anchor. It's a long form format where I get to talk to creatives, writers, artists and interesting people from all walks of life.
​
I also created a podcast where I talk and review the books I've read because sometimes, typed words just don't cut it. Check out the Reviews On Audio tab.
​
I'm also very lucky I get to co-host one more podcast with my friend and colleague, DJ Coach of Home Radio 95.1. It's called "The Coach and the Calendar Girl". We talk and tackle topics from Politics to Trending talks, Entertainment and Sports. It's mostly about what's going on in the Philippines.
​
So yeah, fun times! Check them out sometime!
I'm an avid reader.
It's always been a thing with me since I was a kid.
For a few years now, I've been reading and reviewing almost exclusively Gay Romance books (M/M genre) and a few LGBTQ YA/New Adult reads.
I've been reading a lot of indie authors' work.
I'm also a frequent audiobook listener of the same genre. I have a few favorite audiobook narrators.
My favorite tropes to read are friends-to-lovers, second chances and law enforcement characters.

reviews
I'm a reader, will always be a reader. I make sure to leave reviews. I make sure my reviews are of my own volition. I make sure my reviews are kind and constructive.
​
Mostly, I post them directly on Amazon, it helps the authors a great deal when readers do that.
author services
Year 2022 is when I was presented the chance to provide author services for independent authors. I mostly work with marketing, promotion, social media management and content management.
I also provide virtual assistance services for an online bookshop.
It's been a great journey, so far. I enjoy working in the publishing world from where I'm at.
