She is the last of her people. He falls for her the first time she puts a gun to his head.
A rebound and a kiss turn into choices that could save or doom the universe in a race to stop the ressurection of an alien dictator bent on intergalactic submission, starting with humans.

17 is hard, but when you're set to take over presidency from your father, survive a ☠️ attempt, are betrayed by the two you love & learn your role is to maintain peace by keeping 200yo lies & manipulating the public or start the biggest war in centuries, 17 is REALLY hard.

KINSHIP, 84k, #A #H #T w/ #LGBTQ rep. Megan’s reunion with her long lost brother is complicated when he kills his lover. Luckily, Megan’s prepared for this. Subversion of gothic tropes + send up of true crime culture. #2025Pit
Collage of 5 images overlaid with word KINSHIP: sharp metal nails coming out of a bright red lipsticked mouth, a lesbian couple clasping hands, a bloody white cloth against a pink background, light shining behind a spiderweb with a juicy spider and the shadow of a hand, a man's bare back as he is held by another man.

12 DANCING PRINCESSES x ALANNA Elena, eldest of 12 and heir to the throne, is a formidable knight. But when she and her sisters are cursed to attend a nightly magical ball thrown by the Fae, she is torn between her country and falling for the enigmatic, gender-fluid Fae King.

A redheaded lady knight, a castle in the mist, a person in a ball gown running, two women about to kiss, a crown, a tower sunk in a lake, a hand spilling dark clouds, reads "Guinevere had green eyes, like yours, milady, like yours."

A magic that mortals can wield is discovered, a priestess influences the will of the deities, warriors uncover the evil that ended the first gods and the constellations shift. Vithmor’s history is written in the first part of the GREEN STAR SERIES.

And now a gif to represent a sleepless night of anxiety and self-discovery. I like to call this state of being, frightened and enlightened.

Today’s gif is brought to you by receiving a rejection for my current query (albeit a very kind rejection). Again with an invitation to submit work in the future. With all this future work encouragement, I’m very excited for future me. Present me however, is tired 😂 #amquerying #amwriting

It’s been a hot minute, so here’s a gif representing how I feel about my writing today. May it ever be this and not intense self doubt

It’s interesting that, though my ambitions for a career are based around words, I find social media far easier to manage when I’m putting a picture or image with the text. So here’s a gif to go with this post that enhances little of your life
