The background is a photograph taken from under the water. Half the photo is taken up by the waves on the surface that are broken up by sunbeams penetrating the water. On each corner is a white corner decoration with straight lines curling as they meet each other.

Text: Pitch
Nerissa is a Merrow who has lived her adult life going through the motions and waiting for the moment old age will take her so she can finally be with her deceased fiance Dylan. The only issue is that she isnโ€™t ageing. Living decades past when she was supposed to as a Merrow, she curses her fate.

That is until she receives an invitation to an employee appreciation party hosted by the very family her fiance was working for when he died. Now all those years are starting to make a little more sense. She had always been suspicious of his death, and this may be the perfect way to find proof to those claims. 

Getting the proof she needs isnโ€™t as easy as she was hoping, and she winds up on board a ship called The Divine Madness with a motley crew thrown together by circumstance rather than choice. She can only hope that she can get the information she needs before everything goes up in flames.

Text: Excerpt

Firstly, letters were supposed to appear in Nerissaโ€™s mailbox, not in her hand. The fact that this letter had appeared in such a way did nothing to lessen the torrent emotions currently fighting for dominance in her stomach. That was just the first thing too. 

Then there was the matter that the Child family was writing to her after all these years. After decades of silence there was no real reason for them to be reaching out to her in this moment. Not anything good anyway. The last time Nerissa had received a letter from them it was to tear her heart out in the most impersonal way possible. 

She was almost afraid to touch it again. She stuck out one finger and gently poked it, wondering if it would disintegrate in the water and spare her the trouble, but it didnโ€™t. In fact, it was rather clear based on the lack of water marks or warping that it was meant to survive in this very setting, which made the โ€œsent in errorโ€ argument significantly weaker.

The letter rotated once again, the bright gold lettering catching the icy blue light filtering in through the roof above. Nerissa squinted as she tried to read it, the sheen hiding some of the letters against the dark green backing until it tilted away from the light just enough to read:

To the spouse of Dylan Price.

#questpit Nerissa hasn't aged since her fiancรฉ Dylan died. She considers it a curse until an invitation manifests in her hand. An invitation from the very family Dylan was working for when he died. His death was always suspicious, now Nerissa has a chance to prove it. #W #F #amediting

If I still have writer's block today while trying to write Mihayu, I'll just switch to Amniland instead for the time being. No point in persisting if it's not working.

Also, I'm thinking about offering my services to other writers who wish to translate their story into French (or English, for French-speaking authors). It's not an absolute certainty yet, but I guess it would be a good way to earn some money while writing my own stories. 2/2

Got hit with writer's block, sadly, but I'm hoping to finally finish the second draft of Mihayu and then resume Amniland. 1/2

Pro marketing tip: adding alt-text to your promo images will increase the chances that they will be liked, reposted, and otherwise interacted with.

If it's an image you know you're going to be posting a lot (like your book cover), keep a little text file description handy so you can cut and paste!

What is my #purpose
We ask ourselves
As if there is only one
A lifetime is short
In the scheme of things
But long enough
For grand gestures
And small kindnesses
There may not be
One overall reason
For existence at all
Except for the joy
In the search for why
