🎉ANNOUNCEMENT TIME🎉

So excited to get to say that I have another book coming out AND that you get to start reading it in just a matter of weeks! BITTERSWEET is a queer, adult Romance ft a trans LI so hot it’ll make a t*rf cry.
Text shows a yellow background with three pink boxes down one side. Each box has a different image over the top: a trans pride flag, a ginger cat and a pink piping bag. Pink text reads ‘Bittersweet: a queer romance about food, flirting and the healing power of queer love. Subtext reads: new chapters weekly on my pay what you can patreon’ Image shows a sunset with white text transposed on top of it. The text reads: Star baker Lenny just left her fiancé, her city and her life of awkwardly B-list celebrity. Carey just became the U.K.’s first trans chef to win a Michelin star. Sparks may fly the first time they meet but safe to say, these two are not on the same page. Throw in a pride brunch in peril, the queer found family Lenny never had, the world’s most awful cat and a book proposal that won’t write itself and it looks like these two friends with benefits aren’t ever leaving their hookup phase. But any good baker knows it only takes a little bit of sweetness to fix all that bitter…’

Some friends give great writing advice, all I’ve got is whatever this shit is 😂

Image shows a screenshotted text conversation. The text reads I think it’s just about realising that not being proud of yourself is literally only in the best interest of people who do not give a shit about you and then being petty enough not to let the motherfuckers win

Do you like soft magic systems, do you like queer found family, do you like open ended worlds and mystery and female rage?

Bcos I have a book for you.

Sam knows how her best friend went missing. She knows why too. But when no one believes her she is forced on a supernatural rescue mission and into touch with forces straight from her very nightmares.

If she can’t get Sid back, she
can at least burn the world down trying.

Since he made people so happy yesterday I’m proposing a daily Cat Tax. Today…Carrot Ironfoundersson in his preferred habitat, lying hopefully near his baby brother in the hope that he will receive a gentle stroke or a whisper of ‘oh wow’

Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson would like to remind you all that it’s winter and you are a mammal and that it’s normal to want to move slow, bed down and hibernate for a little. Winter isn’t for pushing yourself, it’s for thinking about his soft orange belly and giving it pets please.

Auchter House will teach you anything - to speak forgotten languages, to travel in time, to walk through dreams. But the house will take its price. When Sam’s best friend goes missing she must go on a fantastical rescue mission to get her back. Or burn the world down trying.
Grid shows four images; a red headed woman sleeping, old books on a shelf, a close up of a red head with her eyes closed, decaying flowers in a black and white image. Text reads ‘it did not kill me and it did not make me stronger’

📚: Some Advanced Notes On Practical Dreaming (2025)
Image shows a snippet from the OP’s upcoming debut novel ‘some advanced notes on practical dreaming’. The snippet reads: Sometimes he dreams of her bloodied. The cause is never entirely clear. And besides, he has never much cared. Only thought of her, pale beneath all that red, teeth bared, eyes burning and come as close as he ever will to prayer. If this is the truth of her let it be my truth also. Let her wash over me, let me be set ablaze. Give me only what I need to follow her, stepping in her steps, all the rest of my days.

I did tell you I was getting notebooks if I finished my draft 😍

Today I made a great discovery which is that if you have a pretty keyboard you can trick yourself into writing by focusing on how pretty the colours are instead of how bad your sentence structure is 😂
Image shows a photo of a laptop and a keyboard sitting on a bed. In the right hand corner of the photo you can see the bedspread, which is white cotton with a green floral print. The left hand side of the photo shows a duvet which is white with pink and green fans printed on it. Towards the back of the photo and on top of the bedspread is a grey laptop which is open to google docs. It has a white sticker which reads ‘make good art’ on its bottom right corner. To the right of the laptop is a baby bottle with a green top. In front of the laptop and in the bottom right of the photo is a Bluetooth keyboard. The base of the keyboard is pale pink and the keys are orange, pale pink, dark pink, white and red in random configurations.

My worst fear is that people will get sick of me posting this but:
Image is a snippet of the OP’s novel, The ruined system. Black serif text on a white background reads as follows. 1. Thousands of years of human evolution and all I got was a broken nose. After a small gap, mitt text reads: 250 Tristene years after the first human made his oxygen-starved journey from Earth to the Spiral, I tripped and because a girl was too hot. Bordering the text is a marbled purple background that resembles a galaxy

So since I was a kid I’ve been dreaming up this high fantasy. It’s been a story I’ve lived with for over a decade now, the characters growing as I grew. I’ve never felt ready to write it, apart from little scraps, but I’m beginning to feel like maybe when ruins is done it will be time to try.
Image is a blue background with a white square of text in the middle. The text reads Everything in the known worlds, in the heavens and in the wilds will come to hinge on this; Somewhere out there, in the forest and in the dark, a little boy takes a little girl’s hand. And they run.

Let’s do this one last time. I’m Clarey, I’m a YA #author specialising in mental health rep, queer girlies and gratuitous terrible jokes. I’m currently writing #ruinswip about a depressed prom queen crash mlanding on an abandoned planet and her emotional support terrible robot.
Image shows an aesthetic for the OP’s book, The Ruined system. A grid of seven images from left to right they are; two hands reaching for one another, a ruined building, ripples on water, a black and white picture of a face obscured by water, a statue of a snarling big cat, a black and white picture of a who’re woman with dark hair with her head on her hands and a black white picture of a planet eclipsing the sun. Around the edge of the images annotations read ‘first love’ ‘an abandoned planet’ ‘toxic friendships’ ‘a decades old mystery’ and ‘a lonely war maxhine’
