Aspiring fantasy author currently working on a Whalepunk heist novel inspired by some ungodly mix of Lies of Locke Lamora, Dishonored, and Six of Crows.

Also, the market has shifted and does shift. Some masterpieces from decades ago might've struggled to query in 2025.

And really, some books just aren't for debuting. (*Hides three 150k+ epic fantasy novels*)

Fun! I'll read the sample after work 👀

Yessss, love Lies of Locke Lamora. Scott Lynch is a genius at dialogue, setting, character, and his schemes are diabolical.

But the heart of Wavewaker is unlearning meritocracy, interestingly enough. That's the main romance/arc.

Also schemes 😊

Fingers crossed!

A Goodreads search said it's also Arthurian, eh? 👀 I'll have a peek!

Wavewaker is a Whalepunk fantasy heist 🐳

It must be mind-blowing to see the book you put all the work in on the shelf 😊 I have a scifi bookstore in my city I hope I'll see Wavewaker in one day.

Now I'm curious to read what Eltaris is about 👀

Thank you!! In the final stages of editing draft 3, the editor I hired is really optimistic about my querying chances but going to keep working until it's as good as I can make it 😤

Inspiring 😁

It's an amazing book! I've read it more than once to try to improve my dialogue and prose, and the third act is *nuts*.

Best of luck!! Fingers crossed 😁
