Banner showing the covers for the two GRAYLANDS novels, "The Ghost Princess" and "The Jinxed Pirate" under the text, "Graylands is where people go when they don't want to be found..." The cover for "The Ghost Princess" depicts a dark tower sits at the edge of a cliff against gray seas and a stormy sky with a red horizon. The cover for "The Jinxed Pirate" depicts a black-bladed sword covered in blood and stuck in the ground. Around the sword, a medieval city is on fire.

I sent to an awesome agent. Yay!
I forgot to add in my word count. 🤦‍♀️

I hope they don't think I'm being cagey. *cry*

Curious @whitehouse.senate.gov about this article. What say you since it involves Leo? thiswillhold.substack.com/p/she-won-th...
She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.
How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

For a loooong time, the platform known after a certain river 😂 hid/deleted many of my reviews for The Snow Globe. Now they're back. 114! I'm proud of this, esp. bc many trade pubbed books have far fewer reviews. I shall celebrate with a chocolate chip cookie.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE X THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR

A cryptographer must time travel to reverse her ruined reputation and get her fiancé back—but when she meets a handsome spy, she wonders if finding love in the past is worth the risk.

#QuestPit #Q #YA #F #HR
Image: a Regency woman with a clock superimposed over her. Text: The Genesis Clock. PITCH: Imbued with time magic, chronoglass could alter the Napoleonic Wars. For cryptographer Georgiana Adams, it gives her the chance to erase the moment that soiled her character and forced her betrothed to leave her. For Joshua Durand, the chronoglass would undo the mistake that crippled him in the Battle of Trafalgar and cost him his job as a British spy. When they catch each other stealing chronoglass, they make a deal: they won’t turn the other in as long as they work together and ration the precious magic. The deal should be easy—until they fall in love. Comp titles: Pride and Prejudice (writing style), This is How You Lose the Time War (time-traveling spies), Queen Bee (feminist social commentary), and A Fragile Enchantment (Regency magic). Snippet from The Genesis Clock describing time travel.

I returned home to Decatur shackled & cuffed & taken straight to jail for murder charges. My family hadn't seen me in yrs. But even news headlines & family grudges couldn't hinder their love of the grandchild they never knew while I struggled within a sisterhood behind bars.

THE OFFICE X GOOD OMENS

A satire of both business and the supernatural, Virgil Mora, Hell's Consultant, must restore Heaven's faith in Hell by saving a vampire-run Ohio gas station in just three months to save his job and Lucifer, the angel he's fallen for.

#A #F #PosterPitW #PosterPit #LGBT
At the top is the text “Virgil Mora burns in Hell. It’s a pretty good job.” On a background of red and orange flame, a black and white silhouette with of a man with a suit and tie sitting at a shiny marble table that covers the entire lower half of the poster. A white silhouette of an angel with wings spread is standing behind them. In front of them is the title, glowing yellow, “Hell Is Work.” In the reflection on the table is the title reversed, the angel is in yellow not white and has a dripping halo. The businessman is reflected in red and has horns. At the bottom is the words “A novel by Zed Prospero”

A mock-up movie poster for my YA fantasy novel, THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. This poster features a digital illustration of a dark blue wave carrying a tall galleon past a castle. Beneath the waves, a mermaid is subtly silhouetted above a lush coral reef. A lone bird flies above the ship, both silhouetted against the rising sun. The poster contains the following text: TOP: Amir (the pirate), Mira (the princess), John (for now*); * written in the colors of the trans pride flag. A SHIP IN HARBOR IS SAFE BUT THAT ISN’T WHAT SHIPS ARE BUILT FOR. Middle: THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN Bottom: YA FANTASY. 82K. MULTI-POV. ANTI-COLONIAL NON-WESTERN. POLITICAL INTRIGUE. BESTIES TO LOVERS. FOUND FAMILY. PLATONIC TOUCH HER AND DIE. STRONG GIRLS. BIG FEELINGS. SHARP PROSE. DIVERSE. QUEER. MAGICAL

Note to self: stop writing action scenes. Especially ones with 5 people and three animals in them. This is an impossibility, at least for horribly inept me.

Welp, I'm polishing the last 2 chapters and I'm at 99k. I already realize I've got nails in the coffin because of this. But honestly, I could easily add more words. It's historical fiction and the opportunities are endless. #amwriting

I'm thisclose to finishing my manuscript. Last night, in my dream, I decided to toss this one out and start something new. I kept looking at a blank page, wondering what the hell to write after 2 years of dedicating myself to this one. So glad it was just a dream. #writingcommunity
