1). I write because I internalize almost everything. Writing is my way to get it out. But sometimes I internalize pain to the point of forgetting certain things happened. Today I had a wild experience. I was listening to someone explain something that happened to them and all of a sudden a light

OF SONGS AND PHANTOMS is a darkly lush retelling of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, where the ingenue discovers her voice has forbidden magic, and the only way to save herself from being executed for witchcraft is to place her trust in a mysterious phantom. #Questpit #Q #A #RF

That is, until one fateful night, she slips up, and her heretically magical singing voice attracts the attention of a mysterious stranger…and the theocratic authorities. Accused of witchcraft and exiled from everything she has ever known, Seraphina must put her faith in that same stranger, seeking refuge with him in a seductive city of magic hidden beneath the city. But can she trust her heart? Or, will phantoms from her past come back to haunt her, threatening everything she has come to love?

Beneath the ground, huge mechanical beasts are rousing from slumber, and the Cassiopeian Orchestra may hold the only musicians left alive who can quell them.

It’s quite a shame, then, that they’re merely a gaggle of thieves unloved by history.

Each quote corresponds to a character in the book. “I am a woman driven by my desires, and they will ruin me. They will unspool me inch by inch until I am nothing but bone.” – N. Onja. “There’s great humor to be found in my father’s name doing as much for our group as your instruments. Perhaps I am an instrument, then? I quite like that.” – L. Autissier. “Memory is an unforgiving warden, and I am her eternal prisoner. I wish to forget, to slip into the comfort of the unremarkable meany.” – A. Sarata. “People will only see what they want to see, even without my hand in that. I cannot force fortune out of falsity, and in any case, I’d rather live in imagined extravagance than in misery with the rest of you.” – S. Irfani. “Look up. They wait for you.

A collage of six images and a few text bubbles. The images are: 1) a smiling girl with big red X's over her eyes 2) A view from inside a cave looking out at the ocean. 3) A cliff overlooking the ocean. 4) A distant view of a road through trees. 5) The silhouette of a girl standing in front of a bright green light. 6) A black and white image of a hand covered in unidentified black substance, with the word help written over it. The first text box reads "Something is wrong in" and leads to a big word graphic over the entire poster reading "Bludeye Beach". The other text bubbles read "Is something out there", "Never walk home alone at night", and "Cat, Manny, Milo...what do they know?"

NIGHT BIRD, an adult romantic fantasy ft:

#QuestPit #A #F #RF #Q #AgentsGuide #AgentGuide
An Agent’s Guide for Night Bird An adult romantic fantasy novel The Pitch Ava is destined for a life of seduction, espionage, and assassination. Born with the ability to become invisible, she is the secret weapon of one of the five great houses. But when a mysterious boy, Zev, crashes through her warded cage, she is freed. With her freedom, Ava transforms into Night Bird, a vigilante for wronged women. But tipping the scales of justice draws the notice of New Oster’s power elite, including one of the most feared men in the city, who turns out to be the boy who set her free. And when the house she left behind catches up, he may be the only one able to help her from following in her dead mother’s footsteps. For Fans of: DUAL TIMELINE SLOW BURN ROMANCE FOUND FAMILY FEMALE RAGE & POISON KNIFE TO THE THROAT ESCAPE FROM OPPRESSORS PAST CATCHING UP INDUSTRIALIZED URBAN SETTING Images: Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole A Snippet: The man in the ring seemed inhuman. Not like the Zev I’d known. “I’ve seen a serratys fight. Rumbled with a few myself,” Stone said, eyes flicking wildly to take in every detail. “They didn’t move like that. This fight was over before it began. He’s just providing good entertainment by not ending it right away, that’s all.” Despite his blood-slicked skin, Digger remained on his feet, weaving desperately to regain footing. His unfocused eyes were dazed. Zev finally stood still, letting the other man throw a punch, then sidestepped with a hard elbow to the head. That was the end of Digger, who crashed onto the ground like a collapsed building. Earsplitting cheers and stomping beat at my ears, and I wanted to clap my hands over them. Then the screams transformed from exuberance to fear as Zev sprouted horns on stage, body growing, muscles bulging—his serratys form taking over. His roar deafened the crowd, but my hands dropped as his chest tattoos came into focus. With his constant motion, I hadn’t gotten a good look during the fight. But now he was still, and I saw it. The tattoo entwined by so many others, almost hidden. It was a bird, wings raised as if viewed from the side and slightly underneath. A night bird. The exact ones I used to play my cello for on those lonely nights. Where Zev’s nickname had started. And that bird was now inked across his chest, directly over his heart.
