So I’ve been a little busy today but wanted enters unto #questpit a little different. It’s “The Red Thirst” - #a #h a gothic horror novel set in Ireland. So in 60 seconds here you go. #amquerying

Last #P2Ppit tweet for #ua #q #a #h 95k words absolute masterpiece of Irish Gothic horror with lit fiction prose. Anyway, an excerpt where the Dearg-Du breaks the rules, entering the house for the first time. Because she’s a bad ass tragic anti-heroine who saves the narrator

On #Ireland’s northern coast, a grieving man becomes entwined with the Dearg-Dú, a cursed woman whose hunger and sorrow mirror his own, forcing him to risk his soul in a battle where love and destruction, redemption and damnation blur into one. #P2Ppit #uw #a #h #amquerying

Been there so often. That was my usual place, indeed. But here….

We used to call this doodling but these are just some ideas that help me to focus on #writing (well, #amediting at this point) the #gothic #horror novel #amquerying #writingcommunity

I got one this time. We were surrounded by dolphins for a couple of hours Tuesday morning. But the sun rise was absolutely gorgeous Wednesday morning.

I decided to rewrite a little my intro to the #gothic #horror novel I #amquerying. I’ve thought about opening with the immediate action scene but I like the idea of talking to the reader first. #books #litagents #booksky. Thoughts?

Well.

Still playing with social media and self-promotion for my #book #litagent #agentwanted. #amquerying #booksky #books #ireland #gothic #horror

I don’t like the mold, thus wish to break it a bit. My query letter for The Red Thirst is… a bit different. I mean, with all of the rejections with the form letter, why not try something different. What ye think? #amquerying #writingcommunity #booksky #books #litagents.

#amquerying #books #agentguides this is the first appearance of the Abhartach in my #irishgothic #horror novel. Thought I would share some of my vision.

I can still program a VCR but this social media thing I just don’t always get. Anyway, here’s a real I made on Instagram about “The Red Thirst” and thought I would share it here. #amquerying #books #booksky #agentguides #litagents

I’m playing with AI to 1.) see if they can understand my description and 2.) help me better visualize the characters for later use for #agentguides. This is the tragic antiheroine, the Dearg-Due. It’s set in modern #Ireland. #redthirst #booksky #litagents #books

So we doing #unhingedpit here too? She’s centuries old, doesn’t need love, but sends all the #H to a pour man in order to scare him into serving her. All the #irish horror she can muster. #Q.

Created this as a #moodboard for an upcoming #agentguide. It’s a #gothichorror novel set in #Ireland. About the Dearg-Due. And yes, I still need a #litagent
