This is what haunts my bathroom. If you go to the bathroom and try to close the door, he appears.
An orange and white cat with yellow green eyes looking at the camera as if to say "I'm watching you in the bathroom."

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #53: Don’t be discouraged by rejection. Instead, try to get feedback to find out why you were rejected. And however a rejection makes you feel, don’t respond aggressively, or complain on social media. Publishing is a small world, and you may end up meeting again…

In 80’s London, seven drag queen activists fought for the LGBTQ+ community. In modern day Soho, the community needs them back, but six queens left town twenty years ago.

The estranged nephew of the late Wilma Dickfit must now take on his homophobic adoptive mother to find them

#YouDeservepIt #A #Q
A 9 square moodboard. In the four corners are images of drag queens. Top middle is an image of Soho, London at night. Bottom middle is a picture of a piece of colourful modern art. Middle left is a road map with a magnifying glass and set of car keys resting on top. Middle right is an image of a young man with medium length hair walking through a city at night. In the centre is a pile of newspaper cuttings with the wordd 'are the dragnificent seven back?" written over the top in a fake headline style. If you use a screenreader or rely on alt text, I always aim to make picture posts as inclusive as possible. If I can improve in any way to make my posts more accessible to you, please do reach out and I will take your feedback on board for future posts.

A ballerina w/ a panic disorder falls for 1 of her fantasy kidnappers, but romance can't happen while he's helping his group force her to live w/ them until their leader's magic in her is returned, & she's sacrificing everything for her ballet dream

#YouDeservepIt #Q #YA #FR #RF #F #R #M #BIPOC #ND
Mood board that says, "A ballerina and one of her kidnappers relearn how to trust...," with a silhouette of an embracing couple looking at each other, a Southern suburban house in front of a forest, two outstretched hands reaching for each other, a ballerina's legs and feet wearing pointe shoes, a blue-feathered wing, magic swirling around a woman's puckered mouth above her cupped hands, someone spying through window blinds, a headshot of an auburn-haired teenage girl, a headshot of a scowling teenage boy with blue hair that has an orange streak down the middle, and hands bound in rope. A badge reading "Killer Nashville Claymore Finalist" is in front of the pictures in the upper left quadrant.

Starting the year with an updated pitch for my YA queer Appalachian horror, White Trash Witchcraft

THE WEDDING PEOPLE x SANDWICH

THIS ENDS NOW: Serial husband-ditcher Lainey hasn’t met a safe and loving relationship she didn’t want to escape—until now. But there’ll be no homecoming until she takes down the charismatic man who wrote the toxic playbook she’s ready to toss out. 📖 #WF #Q #bluepit
A collage of photos: a black and white photo of a man reaching out, his palm nearly touching the camera; a forest scene, with a path cutting through the trees, suffused by sunlight, branches reaching towards each other; a weathered stone window in Gothic architecture; a classic red Vermont farmhouse in winter, covered with snow, at dusk; a woman pulling a tan turtleneck up to cover her mouth, her eyes and forehead still visible; many candles, all lit, dripping in candleholders. Two phrases: (1) the title of the novel, “This Ends Now”; and (2) a quote from the novel: “Not all safety is safe. Sometimes the world is being kept safe from you.”
