CRIMSON PEAK X PHANTASMA
No memory. No living souls but each other. Alloson & John have one hell of a fight to survive the ghostly limbo encompassing Radfield Hall. Between the 200y/o nightly ball, demonic lion, & bloody prophecy, curses are rough.
#QuestPit #AG #A #H #R #OS SOON
a dark staircase background. White text: Snippet: Dancers. Dozens of them. Dead dancers. Slightly transparent, and half-rotting. The foul stench assaulted my nose, like a spoiled carcass left to the elements. Saliva gathered in my mouth, and I choked down the acrid taste of bile. Intricate evening gowns and suits were full of moth holes and tatters. Hollowed, paled eyes stared blankly at their partners as they held each other with skeletal arms that bore hanging, decomposing flesh. Some had only gristled skulls for faces, having succumbed to the further reaches of death. Dark, oozing blood stained their clothes, as if some great massacre had occurred, only for them to be resurrected for one last dance. ECHOES OF RADFIELD HALL

ONE DARK WINDOW X PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
When Andra & her brother inherit their late parents' home from a corrupt aunt, they inherit the dark forces that come with it.
-Seductive phantom
-Cave under the house
-Walls that cry black tears
-Death & demons
#QuestPit #A #AG #H #F #R #W
A wall with green wallpaper and a hardwood floor. Black liquid running down the wall. A dark-cloaked figure standing in the foreground. White text that reads: Those glowing coal eyes burned into me above a gleaming smile. “Cry your tears,” she said in a low, rasping voice. “They’ll haunt these walls like the others.” Her hand tightened painfully, cutting my air to a trickle. My arms were pinned between her knees, leaving me to flail my feet helplessly against the floor. I tried repeatedly to roll her off me, but it was futile. The world faded at the edges. The demonic old woman bent lower, her vile breath washing over my face as her eyes bore into mine. Dark words sliced into me. “He takes what he is owed.” These Dark Tears

Alice moves to the flashy casino city with her bff and big dreams. She finds a family of Wonderland-inspired characters, learns about love, & unearths family secrets. Under threat from the Red Queen can she steal from the city’s heart without losing her head?

Latest twist of our #adoption roller coaster: it all worked out 😭 Two days ago we received a message that she wanted us to adopt the baby—for real this time. We rushed out last night and officially became parents to the little boy we thought we lost just a week ago 💜
WE ADOPTED
March 13, 2025 at 4:17 PM
mollimakes.bsky.social
We believed we were parents to a beautiful baby for 48 hours—but his real mother chose to keep him. If a mother can keep a baby she doesn’t want to part with that’s always best. We will never regret the time we spent with him or getting to kiss his sweet head.
“1 in 4 adoptions fall through. We were that 1.”

My adult romcom debut about an autistic librarian fighting book bans and falling for a cute conwoman is on super sale all month (there's a marching band joke in there somewhere for this gender-swapped Music Man homage)

Get it for a steal and support indie bookstores:

"Fabulously well crafted and full of all the charm in the world. These characters grabbed my heart and didn't let go. Schwartz is one to watch. - Charlotte Stein, author of When Grumpy Met Sunshine TIME TO GET INTO TROUBLE ALL MONTH IN MARCH $1.90 MY KIND OF TROUBLE A slick conwoman selling a fake music festival meets her match in a hot and nerdy autistic small- town librarian fighting book bans, in this gender- swapped homage to The Music Man perfect for fans of Spoiler Alert and Act Your Age, Eve Brown. My Kind of Trouble book cover: teal background with a bold white san serif font reading MY KIND OF across the top and between two figures, TROUBLE written in large script over the two figures, and a small script font reading “a novel” tucked into a bookshelf near the bottom. The two figures are a tall dark-haired man in glasses, brown tweed jacket, jeans, and sneakers, carrying an overly tall stack of books and smiling at a glamorous fat blonde woman in a low-cut red dress, choker, and red lipstick sitting on a low bookcase, holding a book in her lap, and smiling back slyly. The books are in pinks and purples. The author L. A. Schwartz is written at the bottom.
