Shirtposting #unhingedpit #q #t
Eleanor talking to Chidi: "What if it was like a time loop but it only restarted when she got m*rdered? And she was like, falling in love with the hot guy helping her but he couldn't remember her?" "You mean Happy Death Day or Eternal Sunshine?" "No! You're not getting it and my thing is different, so shut up."

Me, trying not to get distracted #unhingedpit #q #t
Pedro Pascal for Vanity Fair, facing the camera with arms crossed. Over his torso reads, "me, trying to write a super awesome plot about a serial k*ller, a time loop, and a woman trapped," but in the mirror behind him is a distractingly nice ass, with the words "the romantic subplot" over it.

Groundhog Day+Eternal Sunshine

Ocher's killer has trapped her in a time loop and only partnering with a handsome detective can free her. The problem with that is they're falling in love, but he can't remember her from loop to loop. #questpit #a #t #Q
An Agent's Guide to Mortally Coiled, a time loop thriller with fantasy elements. The pitch: Ocher's life resets every time her killer catches her. No matter what she does, he finds her and sends her back to the first night she died. But she's falling in love with the detective helping her, and she must escape before their relationship is erased. Tropes: time loop, violence isn't the answer...or is it, how far would you go to save the ones you love, bittersweet romance. The comps: A Quantum Love Story by Mike Chen, Happy Death Day, Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES+QUEER HALLMARK

Angela and Starr just met and they're already bitter rivals in a sweet Christmas bake-off. With Angela's reputation and Starr's business on the line, one must lose the competition, but both will lose their hearts. #P2Ppit #uw #q #a #lgbt #R

I've been fighting an idea from taking over but against my wishes, my brain has been working on it in the background and now it has a mood board lmao
Photo collage, top left clockwise: hands holding bloody glass, blood moon, red exit sign, blurry image of a woman with two small children, an hourglass with a red background, the silhouette of a man and woman in front of a door, with a red overlaid streak running down from the top.

I was ill-prepared for #cheerpit so I'm just posting what I have! Happy holidays from my Christmas romance!

Angela and Starr both love baking Christmas treats and losing Whamageddon. If they weren't competing in a bake-off, they'd be perfect for each other. #a #r

Bluesky seems to be kicking off. Quote with one thing you've written everyone should read
Reclamation, by Bethany A Perry. Black background with a knife covering top to bottom. Inside the knife is a sunset and the silhouette of a woman walking away down railroad tracks.

One Halloween night, a woman shows up at the ER, half dead. What she doesn't know, can't remember, is that she is a demon. And the nuns who take her in have secrets of their own. Link below to this dark fantasy where every main character is a woman ⬇️ #Halloween    #books #fantasy
Give Me Grace by Bethany A Perry. Features the interior of a cathedral with a person outlined in light coming from the altar area. Fanart of Grace, a woman with short hair and scars on the left side of her face. Fanart of Monica, a woman with longer curly hair and an eye patch over her left eye.

show off your workspace in a quote! ✨

Right behind my writing desk is where I build my minis, so here's both!
A small ladder desk with books and plants and a small workspace just big enough for a computer, in front of a window. Card table with miniature builds next to it and Winchesters on the wall in front of it. The kind from Supernatural, not the rifles.

Since it's been a while, and we're all scooting back over here, I'll reintroduce myself. I'm an #author and am currently querying book #7. I've published five. I also like to build #miniatures in my spare time, the piano is for a Halloween themed one! How about y'all?
Book covers: Reclamation, Reclamation 2: Revolution, Reclamation 3: Reconstruction, Give Me Grace, Perry Poems, and Lexa Dean and the Wellspring. A miniature black piano in front of tweezers for scale. Done in 1:24 scale.

I know I'm not here much but I wanted to pop in and wish everyone a happy Supernatural Day! This show literally changed my life.

A note about Lexa, my fifth published book! Out today and free on KU #NewRelease #KindleUnlimited #books

Thank you also to Drew, @mxcarmilla.bsky.social, and the @cloakedpress.bsky.social team for believing in me and Lexa!

Lexa Dean and the Wellspring is the first book in a series. I don't have a series plan, but I am working on the sequel. It is my fifth book published and my first space book. I've loved sci-fi and space since I can remember. I was in one of my happy places writing this book and I'm excited and proud to be able to share it with you now. Lexa is not perfect, and she doesn't try to be, and I love her for that. Going on this adventure with her and the people/ aliens (and a cat) around her was both fun and challenging, and I hope you enjoy their treasure hunt as much as I did! Thank you so much for reading Lexa Dean and the Wellspring cover by Bethany A Perry, two women back to back with a jewel in front of them and space behind.

One of my hobbies is building miniature kits and houses and I made my books into minis. They're the absolute cutest 😭 #authors #books #miniatures

Animated meme of man with hand held up to a butterfly. Man is labeled as "me" and butterfly is labeled as "thinking about writing." The caption says "is this writing?"
