“Cassia said the realms are like two sides of the same coin,” Chloe says. “So where exactly on the globe are we?” Marine takes another swallow of her drink and smiles. “Miterios can only survive in places where the natural balance hasn’t been destroyed in the Other Realm. Poetic, isn’t it? Osse is around the Gobi Desert, Pleumon in the Amazon, and Podia around the Great Barrier Reef. And in the Sun Federation, Kheir is in southern Africa, and Rhakhis is spread across Iceland and Greenland.” Understanding dawns on me. I’ve seen enough maps of national parks and wildlife preservation areas to know that there are swaths of protected lands in those places. “And Kardia,” Marine continues, “is mostly in Alaska.” My eyes go round. My stomach drops. I whip my gaze around to Chloe, who stares at me with her mouth ajar. Alaska. Where my father’s body was inexplicably found. Where my father disappeared to after declaring he was returning home. The world beyond the bark. The reading. I must return home. It can’t just be a coincidence. I down the rest of my drink. And even if I don’t yet have the proof, my brain’s already chanting: My father lived in Kardia.

Woods Queer Romantic Fantasy WIP On a background of dark blue water and a pinky purple octopus tentacles Pitch When Minna is offered a place weaving the winds and waves on one of the largest ships in the Fleet, it comes with a catch—her betrothal to the Deckmistress’ son. Willing to do anything to achieve greatness, she takes the deal, surprised to find that her betrothed is actually quite tolerable. But when they capture a monstrous pirate, Minna is forced into the role of jailer and becomes entranced, putting Minna at odds with her Deckmistress, her betrothed, and the entire crew as she fights to save the monster from both execution and the shackles of the god that enslaves her. But the god is coming to reclaim Its slave and will destroy everything in Its path to get her.

Her bare foot slipped on the step and she fell, barking her shin against the steep steps of the ladder. She made a mental note to smack Kadir later—he needed a gentler touch. The seas were to be guided, not forced. She hauled herself off the wooden planks and touched a finger to the sun-darkened skin of her leg. No blood at least. She strode down the aisle between the oars to her father’s cabin at the stern and pushed the door open, not bothering to knock. If the Deckmaster needed her so urgently, he could deal with her barging in.

Trouble with the Work; the try failed. This crystal is more difficult to awaken than they’d hoped.
POV: Drisal.

- Brother’s Keeper, book one of my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power.
"It either works or it doesn't. Let me see." He settled a tremorous hand on Drisal's shoulder, gently as a bird alighting. All that had come before remained, and the cauldron expanded. Drisal reeled in the stew. His heart raced, that heat trickled in. There was no help for his tears, no help for the livid anguish swirling around and filling him. This, this was real. This was right. And much sooner than it seemed, he felt that which gave meaning to it all, which was the meaning of it all. Love, such love amid the grief, entwining with the rest. The light in the room brightened; the CRYSTAL flashed with a promise of golden hues as Rushak finished his assessment. The illusion faded with his words the instant he took his hand away.

1 Chapter 1| The thick canopy of tenebrous trees whips past me as I sprint, eyes locked on the sky and fist grasping the locket at my sternum. Flickers of sunlight filter through the twisted leaves, and each breath is hampered by the tight binding wrapped around my chest. The icy air freezes my lungs further, a wheezing pain with every exhale. I can't keep running like this. Heart throbbing, I dive to the right, somersaulting behind a particularly thick trunk with peeling umber bark. My knee catches on a sharp rock. The fabric tears with a loud groan from my throat, but bushes thankfully shield me from sight on either side. Crimson blooms through the muddy fabric until my exposed and excoriated knee is pulsing severely. I'd say I have about ten seconds before I've lost my lead. I let go of Mom's locket, adrenaline thick in my veins. Reaching under my tunic, my fingers catch on the thick, rough fabric coiled around my breasts like a constricting serpent. I wanted to feel like myself today. But if I don't release my bindings, I won't be able to run fast enough. It's worth the risk. Finding the tucked knot, I snap my fingers on my right hand, a flame bursting from the tip of my index finger. It burns through the fibers, a smoky scent flooding the air and heat rising on my flesh. Willing the flame hotter, I sear through the knot, and the binding unravels. Light, rapid footsteps sound in the quiet forest. Shit. I scan the direction I came from. In the far distance, a masked man's silver eyes flash in the emerging sunlight. He's just a speck of darkness in the grey morning, but approaching faster than I'd ever expect. Shoving the loose binding in my waistband, I race through the unusually silent Cantora Forest, slightly limping and cursing my luck. This is what I get for following a

Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark. 4. Never get involved with golems. The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right: A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs. B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow. C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards. D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn. E) A pocketwatch--or is it? Constellations and continents cover the front, the body of the watch engraved with runes. It's sitting on ancient parchment. F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game. G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks. H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.
