Happy release day to my debut THE ELYSIUM HEIST! FAQ: - stand alone - multi POV first person narration -spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ -rep: bi, ace, lesbian, Jewish - not a traditional heist, heavy on the romance It’s a digital first release so your best price is the ebook (3.99) but there’s POD too! Links in bio.

Having some fun with the “she’s a ten but…” meme and the cast of THE ELYSIUM HEIST. I think they’re all tens, but I get that they can be a bit much. Three in the comments.

I just finished Elysium Heist by @ymresnik.bsky.social and left a review on NetGalley! Extended review will be available on my blog in a few days! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved dressing in the five person heist crew of THE ELYSIUM HEIST according to their own personal styles for a night out. (See additional look in comments$ Which one most resonates with you? I’d wear them all, but I’m an aspiring Kiyo with a heavy dose of unintentional Ilaria.

🚨COVER REVEAL🚨 Our friends over @lgbtqreads.bsky.social have revealed the cover for @ymresnik.bsky.social 's THE ELYSIUM HEIST! A sapphic SciFi perfect for fans of OCEAN'S 8 and LADY EVE'S LAST CON. Learn more: bit.ly/45mc8DL July '25. Preorder geni.us/elysiumh Netgalley geni.us/SolarisNG

I have a cover! And she is gorgeous!!! Seriously, who is even going to read the book when they can stare at this beauty all day? Head over to LGBTQReads to check it out!

Only one day to go! Since Pride is coming up where I live I thought I’d share some of the rep in The Elysium Heist.

Well, this is awkward. I can talk for days about my characters, but talking about me? Epic fail. Still, in an effort to give you a glimpse behind how my personality might affect my writing, I'm going to try. Want to know my favorite color too? Just ask in the comments.

Authors are not supposed to have favorites, but let’s face it Psylina is mine. Psalome’s hacker genius little sister has fallen for the Casino AI, making life just a little complicated for the sibs. Robbing a casino is really the only solution.

Only four days left to the cover reveal so here comes Ilaria! She’s Jewish but her planet was formed by extreme isolationists who only allow men to request and grant a divorce. To get out of an abusive situation she faked her own death. And is now robbing a casino.

Five days to go so let’s meet Kiyo, a disgraced heiress trying to save the family business from her own father. She’s being blackmailed by an extremely shaded dude, so naturally she decides to rob a casino.

Six days to the cover reveal! Let’s meet Psalome, the most famous face in the universe thanks to her job as a casino Dazzler. She’s stuck in the role, working off inherited debt, when all she really wants is a piano and a nice girl to serenade. The solution? Rob a casino

Seven days to the reveal and I’m introducing the five woman heist crew for THE ELYSIUM HEIST, starting with Finley! An infamous card counter and recovering alcoholic, she’s also wildly in love with her best friend. Rather than talk about it, she’s robbing a casino.

I can’t wait to show you the cover for THE ElYSIUM HEIST, so to keep entertained until the May 22 reveal, I’m having a countdown where you can learn a little more about the book each day! With 8 days to go we’re focusing on the setting: The Elysium a decadent space casino run by a sentient AI

Look THE ELYSIUM HEIST is in a deal anouncements post from @lgbtqreads.bsky.social !!! And the book is available July 31 of this year (cover and order options coming very soon). Queer Jewish sci fi heist romance anyone? Add to your goodreads! #HeistHeistBaby #sff

It’s Publishers Marketplace official! And you can now add my queer scimance THE ELYSIUM HEIST on GoodReads. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/230919983-the-elysium-heist #HeistHeistBaby

I am excited to announce that my queer space casino novel, THE ELYSIUM HEIST, is with Solaris Nova! If you enjoy my short stories, know that those vibes are here. TEH has sapphic romance, a sentient casino and is uniquely bizarre, just like me! #HeistHeistBaby #TheElysiumHeist #scimance

🚨ACQUISITION ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Solaris Nova snaps up THE ELYSIUM HEIST by @ymresnik.bsky.social! A queer heist novel for fans of OCEAN'S 8 and LADY EVE'S LAST CON! bit.ly/428Nm6X World English Language Rights acquired by @alrutter.bsky.social from @allegramartsch.bsky.social while at Ladderbird Agency

I’m moving with them! Excited for this new chapter.

My flash about an astronaut who just really,really wants a taco is in here!

I’m thrilled to announce that my adult writing is now represented by Allegra Martschenko at Ladderbird Literary. Looking forward to creating beautiful books and having many future exciting announcements together.

I have a story in here! Remember when Luna Station had to ask their social media following to find me because I typed my email address wrong? Thanks to those valiant efforts this story is published!

My sapphic astronaut story, featuring a side of tacos, is out today in worlds of possibility from @omgjulia.bsky.social Check out “Novas Epic Re-Entry Bucket List” here: https://www.juliarios.com/introducing-the-august-2024-issue-of-worlds-of-possibility/

We've made contact! Now I bet you all can't wait for the issue to see why I was so fussed about getting this story in there. 💚

Thank you to the writing community for helping a girl out. The story will be in the September issue of Luna Station Quarterly. So even if you too typo your email in the sub form and make it impossible for the publisher to find you, it all works out in the end.

And in June (today!) we published “I Am Fire” by Y.M. Resnik, which is set at Pride and really captures the joys of becoming yourself, no matter when you come out. 7/8
