I’ve just breathed in and out.’

She’s given up on herself, until . . . shocking news forces her to take charge of her life. The Blue Castle follows Valancy’s journey to love, hope, and most importantly, her true self. What you discover about yourself along the way may surprise you!

Born and raised in the US, Raina Ruth Nakamura has lived in Yokohama, Japan for over 20 years. She has always loved reading and she created KISS Books so both English learners and emerging adult readers can enjoy books as much as she does. KISS Books have short chapters with simple sentences and common vocabulary. They are based on classic stories with valuable themes like self-confidence (The Blue Castle) and forgiveness (The Scarlet Pimpernel, a future KISS Book). Raina hopes her books bring joy to readers’ lives.
