When he says 'I love you' but Matthias says 'I don't just love you. You're the star guiding me through the pitch of night. My tether in the storm. I'll rebuild this world for you. Tear the cosmos from Vyrus' hands, make you its queen and it still won't be enough to show you how I adore you.'

Everything always changes. Friends, life, perspectives, relationships. Cera hates it. Why does everything always have to be ruined? Will her new life be ruined, too?

Magical realism
Meta-narrative about revision/revising your life and self
Mental health advocacy
Dark humor
Poster of a sunset-colored cityscape of tall buildings. With text: a city with hidden spaces, girls with their own secrets, a rewritten reality, an unfinished portrait, inevitable changes. Change is Cera’s worst enemy. Subtle, Flowing Changes.

Cordelia likes people, photography & observing Nate making cocktails.
Nate hates everything, especially his sweet regular Cordy. But when his boss tasks them with creating a new cocktail menu, things get shaky, feelings get mixed, & everybody is craving a drink #questpit #rc #wip

#WritingLifeMonthly Aug 2nd

Sorrow and Matthias were childhood friends, so there's not a scene where they 'meet'. However, they do talk about the first time they met!

From my epic romantasy, coming Spring 26
#Romantasy #romance
“Do you remember the first time we met?” I asked. There was a scurrying from a nearby bush and Pablo dived after it. The little mouse rested on my shoulder, cleaning his long whiskers. A smile tugged at the corner of Matthias’ face. “I remember Elspeth warning me you were feral.” He turned, his mouth ready to speak when his eyes widened as he spotted the mouse.

An Agent's Guide to THAT WHICH DEVOURS 104k words | new adult sapphic dark fantasy romance | dual POV The background is "And she never returned", an 1892 painting by Alfonso Simonetti. A woman sits on a cliff's edge beneath a full moon. pitch Princess Lenore is cursed to see ghosts. Court jester Fen is a monster hiding in plain sight. Lenore plans to slay Fen—until her brother is kidnapped by Others from the bog. Only Lenore knows where he was taken. Only Fen can lead her there. If they want to save the prince, they must work together, but Fen swore never to return for a reason. A long-dormant beast stirs within her. It hungers. Lenore must face her fears, and worse, her own dark desires. comps ANATHEMA by Keri Lake -spooky, macabre world -slow burn romance -gothic NETTLE & BONE by T. Kingfisher -sharp humor -whimsical, dark fairytale atmosphere tropes and themes -enemies-to-lovers -(murder attempts are made) -dual POV -sapphic yearning -gothic -slow burn -feminine rage -inner monsters -complicated sibling relationships -eldritch bog -body horror On the left is my drawing of Fen, bowing with her arms outstretched. She has grey-brown hair and gray-ish eyes. She's wearing a jester's motley of blue, red, and yellow. Lightning flashes outside the windows in the background, while orange torchlight glows from above. On the right is my drawing of Lenore standing in the rain, holding a bunch of heather. She is pale with long wavy reddish brown hair and dark brown eyes, looking solemn. She's wearing a long white dress. The background is misty and dark in the rain, with a shaft of sunlight illuminating the ground in front of Lenore. excerpt Lenore hardly registered her words. The darkest of dreads blossomed in the depths of her heart. She couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t move. Not merely stiff from sitting for so long. Cold spread through her, cold so sharp it hurt, like shards of ice had pierced her lungs. Black ichor spurted through her clenched teeth with a strangled gurgling sound. Inch by lurching inch, she forced her eyes down. Two gnarled spectral hands protruded from her chest, curling long crooked fingernails into her skin through her dress. They lifted her up until her legs dangled limply beneath her, toes barely touching the ground. A voice like the breaking of ice spoke close to her ear. “What have we here, dearest? A frail little fawn caught frolicking beyond her father’s walls?”

#WIPSnips There's no cart, wagon or anything similar in my sequelwip yet, so I went for lift instead!
Musa swallowed, before lifting his filthy cotton shirt slightly, exposing the stark hollow of his hip bone, my gut clenching at the sight of a tattoo etched into his stomach. The wrinkled skin about the marks laced with Vyrium, tinged with dark green.

#WIPSnips *want* This is from my sequel to the novel I'm querying.
“Fuck’s sake.” I leapt as his gravely tone shattered the evening. “Why is it wherever I go, you’re there?” I raised my chin, glared at him as a nightingale trilled in the distance. Pablo padded over, nuzzling the man’s hip. “I want the truth,” I demanded. “You married an idiot.” “I know that,” I said, crossing my arms. “What I don’t know, though, is your name.” Above a bird of prey let out a sharp cry. The man looked up, a swirling smile lighting up his face. “Hawk.”

For me it was The book that held her heart by Mark Lawrence, the final book in his library trilogy. I'm still not sure if I should send him my therapy bills!

Presenting my updated #litagents guide to This Fractured Soul. A second chance romantic fantasy with a disabled MC, LGBTQ+ rep, arranged marriage, dark, hidden magic, an unhinged animal companion and childhood friends to lovers.
#amquerying #agentsguide #WritingCommunity #A #RF
Agents guide to: this fractured soul, a second chance, gothic, 103k word adult romantic fantasy Pitch: When Sorrow, a visually impaired woman, is saved from being sacrificed to a vengeful God through an arranged marriage to the boy who broke her heart, she must face the demons of her past if she's to forgive him, whilst harnessing the darkness lurking within, to defeat the enemies clawing for his life and throne. Snippet: He leaned forward and turning my head, I caught sight of his expression. A wry grin lifted up the corner of his full lips. "Are you telling me," he said, "you'd let them throw me into the molten lava? Stand by as I suffer a horrendously ghastly death?" "Of course I wouldn't just stand by." His fingers relaxed their hold on the reins as a smile tugged up the corner of his mouth. "I'd fucking push you." Matthias laughed. A deep, rich rumble ran through me as I blocked out how much I loved that sound. For fans of...One dark window, Carving shadows into gold, Radiance, Foxglove King. Second chance, disability rep, LGBTQ+ Rep, Arranged marriage, childhood friends, hidden magic.

In 1900s Latvia, Stasi mixes blood with paint to create reality-shaping art, but when she enters a prestigious art competition and discovers wealthy elites are killing female artists, she risks her forbidden sapphic love and life to stop them.

#WIPPIT #HF #H #R #LGBT
The Colour of Blood, a feminist coming-of-rage 70k sapphic horromance, featuring Latvian mythology, examination of colonialism and misogyny, art school rivals-to-lovers, generational trauma, a unique paint-based blood magic system, and all the barbed banter ("Mind your step, lest you trip over my affairs.") Excerpt from the Colour of Blood: I draw the imbuing knife across my palm and wince. My skin is accustomed to this ritual, dulled to the sting. But today, the blade finds something soft, something still capable of pain, and sinks its teeth in. Blood wells fast, eager, filling a shallow groove in my palette. I carefully pour water into the next. Flickering candlelight reflects on the pools. The water skitters under the light, but the blood is thicker, darker, slower to settle. Yellow may be my most loathed colour, but red has always been my favourite. The colour of love, of rage, of life. The colour of blood. Tropes, themes, and comps, including Blood Over Bright Haven, Mexican Gothic, and Juniper & Thorn. Blurb: In 1900s Latvia, female artists combine blood with paint to yield reality-altering art. Stasi, an ambitious artist, is selected to compete for a coveted year-long residency at the Von Nachtraben estate, home to Europe’s most powerful paint magnate. For Stasi, the competition is a chance to elevate her social standing, earn her emotionally distant parents' approval, and escape the brothel where she's secretly working. But when a talented competitor suffers a gruesome death during the first trial, Stasi suspects the competition’s purpose is not recruitment but the elimination of the world’s strongest magical women. Stasi's unease turns to horror when she uncovers a hidden laboratory in the estate where the Von Nachtrabens craft a toxic green pigment engineered to weaken women who paint. And when she tries and fails to escape the estate, she realizes participation in the competition is no longer an option but a compulsion. As a forbidden sapphic romance kindles between Stasi and her childhood rival—and more women vanish—Stasi must navigate deadly trials, competitors willing to sell each other out to advance, and the Von Nachtrabens’ insidious web of control. To stop the elite intent on silencing women who dare stand against them, Stasi will have to risk her love and her life.
