I'm normally just a writer, but I've dipped my toes into doing some visual art for my stories too! First one is for What it Becomes, second is for Algharib. Hoping to do more in the future!

I haven't promo'ed it in a while, especially since I've rewritten it, but When It's Gone by We the Heathens will always be the song for Goodbye Lulu (even tho the fic is named after a different song lol)

Dark academia x DIY punk

Determined to have one last great summer after graduation, best friends Kat and Molly must navigate toxic men and the systems that protect them, small town secrets, and the Appalachian gutter punk scene without losing themselves, or each other.

Fuck it, we're making a thread of these.
If you wanna read Goodbye Lulu, my Appalachian punk academia AU, better do it asap since I'll have to take it down if the novelized version gets picked up. Dead dove, so read those tags!

I love a good moodboard. Should probably be pushing WIB since it's my current WIP but I still love the board for Algharib. Fun fact- the fem dancer pictured is a pro dancer named Ebony Qualls who's an actual goddess. The dude is some guy from Tiktok 🤭

Today I went to the most magical place- a combo aerospace museum and waterpark- and got to see the Spruce Goose (a massive WW2-era experimental aircraft made of wood!) pictures cannot adequately convey how massive this thing was. Needless to say, my nd lil brain is exhausted but so happy now

Algharib Almuqanae (my bellydance AU fic) was inspired by my recent return to my second favorite hobby after writing! I started dancing in 2014 at college but had to take a ~6 year hiatus after moving away. I was inspired after watching a performance to make the bbs dance :3 #acolytesummer

In the first draft, I had a dream sequence that I subsequently cut and then much later added back in a totally different spot. Here's a snippet!

I'm trying to write and this little fucker will not stop trying to steal a hand (with claws!) but also he's precious and I love him

Back to prompts this month as I start querying This Used to be Home, my queer adult literary fic book with romantic elements set between academia and the gutter punk scene in late 2010s Appalachia. Coming soon to the trenches!
