R.J. Garcia 💀🌸

Yay! That's my governor!

QUIT
telling me stories
of your place
in a sapphire heaven
when the outpouring
of your heart
on this earth
has brought hell

It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.

Post card graphic featuring: - "Hey we're off to small town USA" - "with a hell dimension or two" - "Come for the scenery stay because you can't escape" - Postcard of small town main street - "there's evil and then there's whatever mother is" - Polaroid of a small town - "just a romantic walk through a haunted house?"

Cover art for The Stars Forgot Us by RJ Garcia surrounding a trope list that reads "good vs. evil", "love at first sight", "just a small town with a hell dimension", "there's evil and then there's whatever the heck mother is", "oh hey, haunted house!"

July 2: Marrow Charm by Kristin Jacques
July 9: Dreamwalker by Leslie Rush
July 16: Skin Curse by Kristin Jacques
July 23: A Witch’s Touch by DeAnna Hill

Mockup of Marrow Charm set before an eclipes with the words "The world Above is full of monsters, both wild and cunning, some more human than Azzy was led to believe." Young Adult Fantasy sticker

Blurb: Azure Brimvine lives in a world decimated by magic. One where humans have retreated underground from the overwhelming dangers of the surface. But Below is no safer than Above. Magic borne plagues continue to eat away at the remaining human cities. A sickness that doesn't merely kill, but creates aberrations from the stricken: people twisted by magic into something dark, dangerous, and powerful. But when Azzy's brother, Armin, is infected and cast out into the Above, she sets out after him, determined to be there for him no matter what he becomes. The world Above is full of monsters, both wild and cunning, some more human than Azzy was led to believe. Her search for Armin leads her to Avergard, a ruthless city of inhuman lords and twisted creatures. Azzy must find allies and forge new bonds in this broken world, brave the perils of the Above, and reach Armin before his new power is used to open the Gate once more.

Hey #booksky did somebody say the wanted something where magic is a plague just in time for Summerween? Because… 👀

I googled my symptoms, and it turns out I need Halloween.

The title: The druid's bindings. And the blurb: Ailith is in the middle of a heist when a mysterious figure breaks into the same vault and unleashes a deadly magical disease upon the world. But the disease proves to be only the start of her problems. Haunting her every step is the devil Arkhael, who tries to tempt her into signing an infernal contract—her services as a thief in exchange for the cure. Staying one step ahead of the devil and not giving in to his honeyed words becomes harder and harder as her time starts running out and the disease becomes more aggressive. Aware that not just her life but her very soul might be at stake, Ailith faces an impossible task: trying to beat the devil at his own game.

I see a lot of short little fascists with a Napoleon complex.

I'm giving the romantasy thing a shot in my WIP, #shadowless, thinking of the stages of love. 🖤
