There is a house
There is a garden
There is a secret
You mustn’t know

There are sisters
Who tend the garden
And what is reaped
Must first be sown

Tanya Pell! Teacher who became a writer, but in between became a aerial performer in the circus. That's a cool origin story!

So if you hadn't heard, I'm back in the #querying trenches with a dark dystopian fantasy for adults

Enemy (and ex lover) necromancers/healers team up to take down an authoritarian govt. Sparks fly and heads roll.

Well wishes appreciated. 🕯
