The Constellation of Forgotten Things
A Short Story Collection
A limited edition hardcover collection that will never be printed again.
In these tales, love transcends every boundary—death, memory, time itself. A ship captain exchanges letters with a mysterious island dweller through glass bottles that always find their way to each other. Memory Keepers and creatures of the Void discover forbidden love across cosmic divides. A blacksmith's boy and a village girl are torn apart by revolution, their bond tested by violence and forgetting. A ghost mother watches over her differently-abled daughter.
From celestial beings navigating eternal duties to mortals seeking connection across impossible distances, these stories explore love in all its forms—queer and straight, mortal and divine, tender and tragic. Each story is a doorway into worlds where devotion defies fate, where souls find each other across lifetimes, and where even the most broken hearts continue to beat with hope.
Perfect for readers who love the lyricism of Madeline Miller, the emotional storytelling of Studio Ghibli films, and the mythic beauty of Ursula K. Le Guin's work. If you read for gorgeous language and deep feeling rather than fast plots—these stories will captivate you.
Hello, fellow wanderer. My name is Tiffany Chu. I’m a literary fantasy author and memoirist, writing about the topics we’re too scared to talk about.
Preorder my newest book here.
After graduating with a degree in psychology, I spent years fascinated with the human condition—how we come to believe the things we do, why we behave the way we do, and why sometimes our inner worlds are so at odds with our actions.
My writing reflects an ongoing examination of what it means to be human, in all our glorious, messed up, beautiful, contradictory ways.

★ "There is no rest for the wicked. Or the powerful. Or the lost." ★
In a kingdom where nobles hoard food and peasants starve, ill-tempered Carys discovers she can see what others can't—strange mushrooms glowing like fallen stars. But following their light into the forest after dark breaks every rule she knows.
They say a witch lives in those woods, speaking to mushrooms and knowing the secrets of time. They say the mad queen walks the castle halls at midnight, searching for something only she can see.
And they say girls who wander into the forest at night never return quite the same…
Thoughtful writing exploring difficult emotions with honesty—helping you feel seen and understood in your grief, doubts, and complicated truths, reconnected with humanity—yours and others.

As my 97-year-old grandmother enters hospice, I reflect on a lifetime of love expressed through food—the true Asian love language.
