Secrets are often liabilities Sometimes they are power When the Empire of Colours slaughters 17,000 of his silver-eyed kin, Lucas Rhine buries his hatred, hides his eyes behind coloured lenses, and vows to liberate his country through a diplomatic secession. Usurped prince Faye Phlorik escapes from prison and joins the revolutionaries. They need a silver-eyed champion to rally the people, and Faye needs their resources to reclaim his crown. Lucas and Faye must eliminate each other to achieve their goals. But when the empire's warships come again, they must unite their forces or there will be nothing left of the people they're both trying to liberate. The Revenant of Surolifia A political fantasy Florence Chien

Querying friends! I had a revelation yesterday!

If you look at your QT Dashboard, it will tell you right there that your queries and submissions are “outstanding!”

See? You’re doing fantastic!

#AmWriting

#YouAreOutstanding

(Double meanings are fun!)

A friend of mine launched his campaign for an original fantasy TTRPG! I helped playtest and had a lot of fun! 🥰 It's much more streamlined than your big-name games, and the nature-based worldbuilding is superb! Support a fellow indie creator! #ttrpg #tabletoprpg

A poster, featuring an illustrated portrait of Aubeline de Sterraux from A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE. She is a white woman with brown hair tied in an intricate hairstyle. She wears a black dress with puffed sleeves and white earings. Aubeline is shown kneeling and praying, her head looking up. The top of the poster is colored, and the bottom part is black and white, the two part being separated by a red stain reminiscent of blood. The title of the book is in the center. Underneath is more text reading "A novel by Millie Abecassis," then a quote by April Yates reading "A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original." Under the quote are the names of several characters, listed as if they were actors: Aubeline de Sterraux, Vinnie Anneton, Damarisse de Sterraux, and "unhinged dudes." At the top are Cannes festival-style quotes reading "dangerous body-based magic" and "slow-burn sapphic romance."

Art school was tough before the vampire tried to kill Edie. Now? It sucks. Armed only with a makeshift vampire hunting kit, Edie must try to survive freshman year.

Oh, and… figure out if she can trust the hot Vampire Barista that got her into this mess.
