I can’t wait to show you the cover for THE ElYSIUM HEIST, so to keep entertained until the May 22 reveal, I’m having a countdown where you can learn a little more about the book each day!

With 8 days to go we’re focusing on the setting: The Elysium a decadent space casino run by a sentient AI
Space background with red poker chip on the top border then it says : 8 days The ElYSIUM heist Cover reveal Countdown Setting And on bottom there are playing cards. A green background with red poker chips on top and gold cling on bottom then there’s a title that reads “the Elysium” with red dice on either side. Below that there is text that reads. A decadent casino in space Run by an AI who recently began to develop some pesky emotions but still lacks a moral code. No pleasure is off limits. There only one rule - don’t try to rob it.

🐍 Book announcement!!!! I cannot wait for you guys to sink into this amazing new epic fantasy trilogy, it's funny and heartbreaking and vast and magical.

I am excited to announce that my queer space casino novel, THE ELYSIUM HEIST, is with Solaris Nova!

If you enjoy my short stories, know that those vibes are here. TEH has sapphic romance, a sentient casino and is uniquely bizarre, just like me!

imagine for a sec a really fun (gay!) book where the main characters love each other (tho won't admit their feelings) but it's really a book about politics & the messy nature of social/political change (with necromancers), and then imagine how lucky I am to be working with the author 👇🏾

In an effort to break my querymanager addiction, and under threat from my partner, I will be closing to all queries on December 13th and reopening on February 3rd. My FOMO is immense, as I've never fully closed to queries before. Please hold space for me at this time.

First post i'm dedicating it to today's book announcement!!!

Davis’ deft prose unfolds a brilliant, dangerous world guided by prophecy—and the firm hand of one Adelina Malves.
In October 2025...something wicked this way comes
Graduate of Northeastern University and Human Rights master's student Ana Davis's MY KEEN KNIFE, pitched as a historical fantasy retelling of MACBETH, in which a teenager in line for the throne is driven by a witch's prophecy to kill her way to the crown, recruiting a boy with the ability to talk to the dead and his power-hungry brother to assist in her wicked plans—if they don't betray each other first, to Amanda Chiu Krohn at Keylight, in a nice deal, in a two-book deal, for publication in October 2025 and October 2026, by Allegra Martschenko at Ladderbird Literary Agency (world).
