Reach the heart of the story. Think outside the box.
Hi, I'm Naito Diamond, author of speculative fiction, developmental editor, and repeat pattern designer.
I know how to cook on a medieval stove, build a treehouse, and raise a German Shepherd, three cats and a rooster. I grew up in the forest, so I'm full of unique facts that give color and texture to my stories.
My short stories are featured in two volumes of A Season for Romance anthology: Spring Blossoms and Summer Simmer, as well as Flights of Fantasy, an anthology from Iron Faerie Publishing.
There is a big buzz about authors using AI to create their works, and I'd like to share my opinion about this topic.
Do you want to hear what people say about my stories?
Alter Ego is the first collection of my short fiction. I guarantee it would be the best 12 stories I could offer for you to read on 2023 Christmas!
The shortlist of stories already included in collection:
- Red String (M/M fantasy romance)
- Focus Bernard (M/M fantasy romance)
- Seduction (paranormal romance)
- Undercover (espionage, suspense)
- Pledge on the Lake of Stars (F/F fantasy romance)
- Whistle in the Sky (story featuring war)
- Deserter (story featuring war)
- Mentor in the Alien Language Class
- The Courage test (Liminal magical realism, short story)
I'm still deciding about 3 more stories to include in this collection. Here is the list of possible titles:
- Stray (Sci-fi)(Expanded story from Spring Blossom anthology)
- On the Bridge (Short story)
- Spy training camp (expanded story of Undercover)
- We are Responsible to the Ones we have Summoned
- Fern Flower (druids / paranormal)
- Song in the Seashell cave (mermaids / paranormal)
- AI match-maker
Dive in and read about a wide variety of characters. Feel their angst and cheer them on the way to their goals. Alter Ego is a collection of well-crafted stories with 3-dimensional characters. It will give you a taste of several different genres and tropes in one book.

Is there any other way I can help you?
Are you searching for a developmental editor or beta reader? I have one or two spare places to accept new clients.

My background is in the marketing field so I approach writing as a small business.
Did you know that book marketing starts from the developmental editing stage?
That's right. Editing covers the first pillar in 4P marketing (Product, Price, Place and Promotion).
In my blog, I address marketing concepts. Rephrasing them to the language every indie author can understand.
I always find a lot of fun exploring the prospects of Social media channels. This is why I have accounts on such different platforms from YouTube to MyAnimeList.
As every account let me paste the link to my website it's the best way to boost my SEO.
But I'm not there simply to have a backlink to my site. I have analyzed each social media and provided my insights on how to approach them.
