Theia, an untalented conjurer, needs more than luck to survive—she needs magic.

Even if that magic happens to be forbidden blood magic and bound to a grimoire that once belonged to the Prince of Darkness.

What could go wrong? 🤷‍♀️

So today was the official release day for my first traditionally published book.

Out in Greenwood is an LGBTQ+ teen novel with humour, mixed with the emotions of realising you are gay at 15 but having to hide those feelings.

Please retweet to help me get the word out.

Happy publication day to James A Lyons!

Tim thought coming out would be easy, yet nothing has changed the horror of facing homophobia

When things seem to be on track, a mysterious graffiti artist starts to target him.

OUT IN GREENWOOD is out NOW!

Campers will always travel with a staff member or in groups of three. 2. Campers will abstain from any and all homosexual affirmation or activity. 3. Campers will be honest at all times." At the bottom of the page are two signatures: "Luke Kelly" in messy handwriting, and "David Avery" in neat handwriting

🔥Queens have put up with magic for so long, but Queen Daphne's near-death experience changes that perspective for her. She's ready to burn them all.

✨Witches, though, know the truth: magic itself is neither good nor bad.

They just want to live as they were born.

She’s wearing red mary jane shoes and white and blue striped long socks or hosiery. She’s holding a basket. It’s very stylized. The wolf looks more kind than sinister with yellow eyes. He’s rubbing his hands together raised under his chin. They both look like they’re in movement - dancing or running. There are pine trees and forest.

There is a black thin arrow leading to a picture of a red drawstring hoodie and a picture of 3 chocolate chip cookies. Underneath these pictures reads the following text: “Contemporary Little Red Riding Hood & A Lesson About Online Cookies” Mood board with a light red background. In the first row of pictures, three photos described left to right. 1st - is a collage of chocolate chip cookies. 2nd- is a stack of older bound books with the book on top open and the pages arranged in an arch. 3rd - is a colorful assortment of handprints made from paint, assembled as if done for a school project. The second row has three images and a text box. From left to right- The first image is rendition of a planet in space with light hitting the top of the planet. This image is outlined by text resembling computer code in blue with images of locks to indicate data security. The next box is black text over a white background. In a cursive font, it reads “Everything is idyllic in the town of Alaurea.” In the third box is an image of a figure in a red hood carrying a basket walking along a dirt trail into a green forest. The fourth box is a closeup of an outdoor carousel. At the top right of the image is the face of one horse of the carousel. The rest of the carousel animals are seen from behind.

Only one of the wolf’s eyes is visible and there is a cloudy nature scape in the background. The colors of the image are wintery, with a bit of light blue hues. The third box has a white background with black text. In cursive writing, it reads “until a wolf changes everything…can Camille put it to right?” The final box has a market stand with rows of cookies. These are lots of cookies, some with marshmallows and chocolate, some double chocolate peanut butter, some white macadamia and either oatmeal raisin or Chocolate chip.
