#DVparty day 6 - next WIP

When Sutton moves to small town Louisiana, she becomes the target of a group of boys who bring havoc and death each Halloween but are never connected to their crimes. She and her friends work to unravel the mystery of how they’ve lived for decades and how to stop them!

Day 5 of #DVparty playlist!!

The songs reflect both Skyler’s tastes and the vibes of the book/other characters. Skyler inherited some of her mom’s love of 90s grunge and classic hip-hop. Her friendJace is a massive Billie Eilish fan, and Skyler loves her some kpop, too.

#DVparty folks meet Skyler, the 👻 hunter just trying to keep her 🤝 with the grim reaper to keep her cancer at bay. She’s not one to squander a second chance at life, playing by the rules as best she can. She also might be ace but who’s got time to think about that with a 👻 following her everywhere?

It’s #DVparty time, y’all! Have a gander at my mood board for a story about a teenage ghost hunter just trying to stay alive. She also might be ace and very confused about a boy 😵‍💫

New #agentsguide for the book I plan to query soon. You like ghosts? Like quirky characters? YA books set in New Orleans? Look no further! Coming to agent inboxes this spring!

I’m prepping another book for querying and decided to try the movie poster approach for an aesthetic. What y’all think?

With my current #amquerying book, I decided to create a playlist old school style as if one of my characters did a mix CD. Obviously, I had to do graphics too 😏

And this is my current vibe with everything going on with my faves right now 😌

Last but never least for fear that Joan may slice my arm off with her sword is the second book of the Forge and Fracture saga, Saint-Seducing Good by Brittany N. Williams. Want to read about characters fighting non SJM style fae in Shakespearean London? Hell yeah, you do! Includes queer rep!

Wish You Weren’t Here by Erin Baldwin

Frenemies to lovers? ✔️
Last year if summer camp blues✔️

Legit just sped my way through this one because it was just so entertaining!

Conditions of a Heart by Bethany Mangle has so much heart! (See what I did there? 😏) A contemporary journey of self understanding, fantastic disability rep, and, well, a lot of heart. I sped through this one as well because it was just so good.

Blood Justice by Terry J. Benton-Walker is the sequel to Blood Debts and if you’ve not gotten into this series really what are you doing with your life?

New Orleans setting ✔️
Black ancestral magic with magical royalty ✔️
And of course…JUSTICE ✔️

I can’t recommend it enough!

Holy guacamole, Batman! This book 🤯 Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíke-Íyímídé kept me page turning for only a few days BECAUSE I COULDN’T PUT IT DOWN! Full of twists and turns that truly kept me guessing until the very end.

This really needs no introduction. The sequel to The Sunbearer Trials, Celestial Monsters, by Aiden Thomas released this year and this adventure fantasy is rife with amazing queer rep. Unputdownable. Is that a word?
