BUTCHER & BLACKBIRD x TRUE DETECTIVE ❤️‍🔥🌲🔪
Elena Ruiz will stop at nothing to rescue her sister from the cult terrorizing her small Appalachian town, even if it means allying with dangerous (and infuriating) stranger, Ronan Banks.
📖
#BluePit #Q #A #R #T #D
A sparse, white collage including images of locked pinkies, pancakes with syrup, cigarettes alongside a coffee cup, an old car interior, a warm sunny kitchen, and a couple sharing smudged lipstick after a kiss (this image is burned as if by flame). Overlayed in black text with a white background is the following excerpt from our upcoming novel 'Bad Smoke', and reads as follows: "Elena holds Ronan, the coldest thing in the room, true though they are next to her fridge. She holds him, though he is the object that most burns inside, and they are within reaching distance of the oven. He is the most rigid item here, as they stand below the bones of the home that have given her shelter all her life. Ronan is all of these things, and the least likely source of comfort. Nevertheless, Elena holds Ronan."

BUTCHER & BLACKBIRD meets TRUE DETECTIVE in BAD SMOKE, a romance/thriller with cults and creatures in the Appalachian woods ❤️‍🔥🌲🔪
✨ Friends to Lovers
🔥 Slow Burn

📖 #BluePit #Q #A #R #T #D
'"My sister, Sofia... Those fuckers took her!" Rage pools in Elena's mouth, the saliva liable to blind if she spat. Her sweet sister... Stolen in the night. "Alright, so they've got your Sofia... Just how far are you willing to go?" Some people ask questions they don't want the answers to. She wonders if it will frighten him, how far she would go. "Far as I have to." Ronan smiles.' Moodboard featuring images of: a couple embracing, a porch with rifles on a display rack, a stern looking man protecting a chapel, fingers peeking through the blinds, a set of walkie-talkies, a couple embracing in blood.

I LOVE writing a spy character. Whenever I see his face-cast in movies, I imagine he's just (deeply) undercover 😂 #writingcommunity #amquerying

Whenever we receive a rejection, it sets a fire under my fingers & it makes me write and write and write. It doesn't matter if it's 3am and I have work the next day... I've officially got the opening page of our next WIP 😂 #writingcommunity #amwriting #at3am
