But one by one, the other survivors disappear...people the crew insist were never on board.

Terrified & unable to escape, Edith must hurry to unearth the ship's sinister secrets or become its latest victim…

A moodboard including pictures of: a hand reaching for an apple, a quote from my book: “They never said anything about missing your skin. Could that happen? Could someone miss their skin?”, two hands clasping over a sword, an anatomical heart frozen held in someone’s hand, an illustration made by me of the two MC's, their faces are pressed close, snow-covered, twisted tree branches, an andean condor with a red eye, a pale hand lying in the snow, a few ponchos in red, black, and cream hues.

FUNNY STORY X YOUNG & HUNGRY

If you like your romance to feel like a Taylor Swift song, with feet-kicking banter and crackling chemistry, GOOD BOYS ONLY is for you! A dual POV, plus-size rom-com, where the dogs behave better than the exes 💚🐾

#QuestPit #Q #A #R
Playlist & Vibes for Good Boys Only, an 89,000-word,dual-pov adult plus-size romcom on a split green background, with stock images of two characters, two dogs, a kitchen, and laser tag First page sample of GOOD BOYS ONLY with stock cut-out images of a plus-size woman and a tattooed man. Polaroid's of tattooed hand holding, a corgi + golden retriever, Red Wings game. TEXT: CHAPTER 1 Sydney Sunday, August 4th Much like my life, my apartment is going up in smoke. I choke on the black cloud billowing from the oven. My gourmet dino nuggets have turned to fossils. “Oh, fuck me,” I groan. Lava-like heat bites through my oven mitt, and I drop the sheet pan on the stovetop. Shrill barks echo in tandem with the smoke alarm that’s now going off, piercing my ears like it’s in surround sound, live from Hell. Lovely. “Piper, Phoebe, get back! I’m trying to save you!” I shoo the orange Pomeranians away from the radiating heat. Dog sitting was supposed to be an easy way to get out of this shithole apartment, not burn it down. Even if I dream about lighting it up most days. But the aggressive “Past Due” rent letter taped to my door this morning is on the counter, taunting me, like some sick adult version of a haunted house. “Thanks, Devin,” I spit into the ether, as if he can hear me from Chicago. And a big thanks to me, too, for treating my credit cards like Monopoly money. Flicking on the exhaust fan to clear my galley kitchen, I take a misguided deep breath, the cremated dinosaurs sending me into another coughing fit. In a fight for my life, I snag my Getting Figgy With It towel off of the oven door and wave it pathetically below the alarm. Good Boys Only, Syd & Owen's Playlist. On a split light/dark green background with images of the albums. Songs: Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift, Am I Okay? by Megan Moroney, Overwhelming by Jon Bellion, Drunk on Your Love by Brett Eldredge, superglue by Christian French, Just Friends by Virginia to Vegas, Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, Know You Naked by LANY, Mine by Bazzi, and Chemicals React by Aly & AJ Pinterest-style image board on a sage green background with images of tattooed hand holding, laser tag, a plus-sized woman, an airplane, a corgi + golden retriever, a Red Wings game, a green kitchen, a tattooed man, and pottery. Text includes: both tatted, #lgrw, and the boys (under the dogs)

On a background of a starry night sky, a dark forest canopy and a shooting star, text reading: Proudly Presenting TIDES OF SOURCERY A very early stage fantasy currently at 110K words. On a background of a dark, spooky forest at night, text reading: THE PITCH Ten years ago the world we knew changed, flooding with magic and monsters we thought were mere stories. Now Gracelynn, one of those afflicted with magic powers during that terrible day, must take a dangerous mission to find her long lost brother, with the hope of asking forgiveness for that terrible day. But is the quest for old family worth risking her new one?" On a background of a wizard casting magic in a glowing enchanted forest, text reading: PRELIMINARY COMPS The Witcher X Dresden Files Tropes • Magical Outcast FMC • A new magical Earth, Guns meet Elves • A multitude of magic portals • elves and Orcs, Robes and Cloaks and so much more • Mythical creatures • A forbidden forest • A Quest! On a background of our planet earth surrounded by a glowing cloud of magic and a parson looking at it while standing on a cliff, text reading: EXCERPT: “The Celestial Council has decided. A world has been chosen, and the process has already begun,” a female voice said. Relief flooded Kr'alda'ur. “Which world?” he asked, the traditional inquiry for this ritual exchange. “A human world, in the Arm of the Vanquished Goddess. Further details will be provided via official Council Degree within the day. The Celestial Council offers its congratulations,” the female voice said. “I am thankful for the words of Direction, and of the opportunity. My House is at the Celestial Council's service as always,” Kr'alda'ur said in reply, finishing the traditional exchange."

Until we talk. We click. Suddenly, I'm wishing for things again.
But she's not a choice I can make.
Come fall, I'll have to let her go too.

FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT X COCO

My father is presumed dead, but I think something else is going on, and the ancestors I channel are NO HELP.

I want to be left alone and not go to the funeral. Why are we having one if they can’t even find his body? AITA
