The latest to hit my bookshelf from Powell’s Books. I’m already completely sucked into This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me. It. Is. Riveting! (Also how cute is that little free bookmark??)

The clocks have struck twelve, and the #QuestPit gates have finally swung shut. It has been a day of incredible imagination. I must say that the querying society really does know how to have fun at a ball. Here is the grand finale wrap-up

✨ my first #questpit and post on blue sky! 🤭 Introducing my debut novel, TO HATCH A STORM, a sweeping new adult romantasy brimming with elemental magic and dragons, political intrigue, rival Houses, and a steamy arranged marriage! When the Moon Hatched x House of the Dragon ✨ #Questpit #Q #RF #A

#QuestPit #SFF #Q #A (I know I’m an hour before it ends but I couldn’t get this done earlier) 🐉 Humans have been living with dragons for years, unbeknownst to them that dragons have been here since the Hadean Eon. Now their prince wages war to help his people. 💡 And a bunch of connected stories!

- A semi-divine princess with dark secrets - Her new husband, who’s plotting her murder - A seafaring quest for lost saintly relics - Fae-like magic - Ace rep - Religious trauma - Slowburn enemies-to-besties What could go wrong? #QuestPit #Q #F #YA w/ #A crossover appeal!

#QuestPit was so much fun! I got to see SO MANY amazing books-to-be and I wish I could add all of them to my TBR right now! Also loved interacting with other writers and finding so many new people to follow. BookSky has such a great writing community, I’m happy to be part of it!

Library haul! 3 nonfiction craft books, 3 fiction fantasy books. Balance.

I think today’s #WIPSnip word “lantern” is in my manuscript approximately eleventh-seven hundred times. (omg em dashes. call the ai police) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Romantasy

The #WIPSnip of the day is “milk” and yeah it’s in this snippet but- WHO CARES ABOUT MILK. WHO DID SHE BUMP INTO? (warm chestnut eyes!!!) 😍 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Romantasy

So anyone else ever make one of their main characters a non-human incorporeal being and then have it hit that this really won’t work when it comes to character art unless they just want to spoil everything? Oops. (He’s a really sexy voice in a magic mirror though, promise) #WriteSky #Romantasy

I want magical shortcuts too! #WipSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Came up with 3 ideas for Romantasy interconnected standalones in like 20 minutes today while bitching about the querying process and making up “easier” fake blurbs than my weirdo lyrical folkloric romantic fantasy’s.
