As you can see above, I’ve set up quite a pun-ny pickup line. 

’You know, we condiment each other like salt and pepper!’ Eh? Come on, it’s pretty good. 

But pickup line aside, no, I didn’t make any errors in my definition. Yes, I spelt ’pepper’ as ’paper’... and you’ll see why shortly. But first, let me introduce you to someone. Her name is Seanna. 

If Thom was salt, Seanna would be pepper. 

Who is this Seanna person I’m talking about? I mentioned her just last week. And if you read that backer update, let me make it clear that I’m not hinting at a romance plot in The Slave Prince. Why would I do that? Seriously. I’m not. There isn’t even one. I’m not lying. Trust me.

Condiment-ing one another doesn’t have to be romantic. Chemistry doesn’t only exist between lovers. Family and friends can compliment each other too! But to not spoil the book any further, I’ll just leave it as that. All you need to know is that Seanna is pepper, and Thom is salt. (I’m such a tease, I know.)

Now on to why I intentionally misspelt ’pepper’.

 

The Malaysian stationery brand, Salt x Paper has generously offered 5 cash vouchers, worth RM20 (*USD5) each, to 5 readers of The Slave Prince. Salt x Paper creates the most artistic, cute, and fun stationery I’ve ever seen. And with a cash voucher, you can grab more than one of their items for free! I recommend the notebooks.

The owner, Chrystin, is someone I’ve known for many years. She started this creative business last December, and has already been raved about in Malaysia. As a fellow Malaysian, a fellow LUCT-ian, and a fellow ENCM-ian, (yes, we have a few ties), I’m proud to know someone so creative and to have her extended support too.

So grab yourself a copy of The Slave Prince on your way out! It’s worth the giveaway, trust me :) What better place to write your own heroic and possibly romantic tale than in such beautiful notebooks.
