Brayden is querying
@braydenrwrites.bsky.social
Hi there! I primarily write contemporary and literary fiction for both YA and Adult audiences. Occasionally, I write speculative fiction, and this one time I wrote a dystopian book. Currently querying.
A coastal paradise. A hallucinogenic drug. A girl who disappears and returns rewritten.
The truth isn’t lost—it’s erased.
They Called it Saltwater explores how far people will go to reclaim their identity—and what it means to trust in a world engineered to deceive. #Q #questpit #A #T #LF #S

On a coast split by wealth and ruin, best friends Carmen and Brigitte spiral into sunlit parties and a strange new drug that turns idyll into terror when one disappears and returns changed—forcing their tight-knit group to confront a conspiracy that weaponizes memory itself.

Elizabeth’s world shatters when she is raped by a family friend. Her parents want it to go quietly away, the legal system fails her at every turn. She will either go against her family or pay the price for his crimes and watch as the people she loves dig her grave. #CheerPit ☕️🌲
