Ever wish you could punch your ex in his smug mouth? Not worth jail time (or contact)? Live vicariously!

Jake (fkboi name): alcoholic representing the cycle of abuse
Chloe: ever-hopeful wilted flower who learns to trust herself (and load a punch like a bullet)

Yuta: 🥵🐦‍⬛💁🏻‍♂️

A still of an anime. (Is this __? viral meme.) A white man with short black hair looks pleased, gesturing at a picture of a raven. Caption reads: Chloe: Is this a boyfriend? Viral meme of rapper Drake. Top picture he has his hand up, cringing away from the text, which reads, “Confront your husband about his drinking and plate-throwing problem.” Bottom picture he close-lip smiles with closed eyes, pleased, pointing to the text, which reads, “Go to bed and lucid dream to escape into imagination.” Viral meme of Steve Harvey juxtaposed with himself. Left, he is laughing uproariously and right, he presses his knuckles to his mouth and appears highly concerned. Caption reads: “When you finally escape the doorless room full of spiders but find a woman who’s either sleeping or dead and a dude you think was your lover in a past life” Viral “Do it Kermit” meme. Muppet Kermit the Frog faces a version of himself wearing a black hood, mouth slightly open. The caption reads: Brain: flirt with scary raven man Chloe: I can’t flirt with Yuta, I’m married! Brain: ur asleep, he’s a figment of ur imagination Chloe: It feels too real to be just a dream Brain: ur husband sucks Brain: he’s abusive Brain: raven man say nice word

Dreams No Mortals dare is genre and mind bending, and worth the read.

Unhinged Comps:
🐦‍⬛ Goth “Alice in Wonderland” with a HEA.
🐦‍⬛ The Nevermore trilogy by Kelly Creagh (but make it #A)
🐦‍⬛ Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher (less scary, more smoochy)

Pitch inspo: 90s cereal ads🥣

An excerpt from my manuscript I #AmQuerying, DREAMS NO MORTALS DARE. Chloe Douglas escapes the nightmare of her life through lucid dreaming. In her dreams, she is in complete control—until a stranger cloaked in raven feathers intrudes on her utopia.

An excerpt from a manuscript called Dreams No Mortals Dare by author K. L. Geer. The word “fingers” is highlighted in gray. “She wades through soggy grass to the bank of the river, tucking her feet under herself as she settles by the water’s edge. Blinking back tears, she dips her fingers into the crimson water. The river crystallizes at the slightest touch, swirling away in sapphire and diamond ripples once more. Though she can’t calm the storm, this, at least, she can control. She imagines the falling petals to be cherry blossoms, pink with new spring, and they transform before her eyes. One delicate flower alights on the surface of the water, spinning along like a dancer on a music box wound too tight. She fishes it out, cradles it in her palm. One flower. One woman. One moment of peace in a lifetime of war.”

Poe-approved excerpt from my manuscript I #AmQuerying, Dreams No Mortals Dare. 😈
Black text on a white background. Excerpt from a book. “Are you a raven?” In more than thirty years living in Aston, she’s never seen one. It must be lost from its murder. No—she recalls a book she read once: murder of crows, unkindness of ravens. “Did they ditch you because you’re too kind?” One keen, black eye locks on Chloe. There’s a moment—a beat—where the silence and the stillness is so utterly complete, where she stares at the bird and the bird stares back, that it stretches almost to infinity itself. She knows, in that paused time: this is no dream, or coincidence. This matters. “Who are you?” she asks. The raven croaks, louder than expected, and the spell shatters. Time ticks forward. Chloe yelps, almost dropping the animal from surprise. Then she laughs. The bird mimics her laughter, crackling like a gramophone. This only makes her laugh harder, until her sides ache and tears leak from her eyes. But once the tears start, they don’t stop. They turn bitter. She wishes Jake was here to see this stupid bird.” From Dreams No Mortals Dare by querying author K. L. Geer

My Poe-inspired horror romance revolves around hope: the ephemeral and gossamer, and the kind with bloody knuckles.

Chloe has built a life from the crumbs of circumstance, and now it’s dissolving. Without hope, she can’t persist. So what happens when hope is gone?
#BookSky #SpecLit #AmQuerying
A Twitter post from March 10, 2022 by Matthew (@CrowsFault). The text body reads: “People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider’s webs. It’s not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.”
