One of the rare instances of me limiting to a single paragraph in my snippets. I always seem to want to add more context or something. This is when Gwen first moves in with her niece.

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘦𝘳 𝘎𝘢𝘻𝘦, A Sapphic Fantasy Romance in Classical Greece" by RJ Martin How could she presume to know Chloe’s heart, when half of what Chloe knew about her was a lie? Chloe the Courtesan isn’t sure she’ll ever find love. Roxane the Thief doesn’t know what love is. They could be great together — if Roxane wasn’t lying about everything. When Roxane makes the deal of her dreams, Chloe becomes the key to her success: charming her is just another step toward stealing a priceless artifact. But Chloe has her own complications — balancing her life as the city’s most sought-after courtesan, a new relationship with Roxane, and the persistent marriage proposal of her best friend. But the closer Roxane gets, the harder it becomes to separate the con from her growing feelings, and she comes crashing into her own past and a future she never knew she wanted.

No “define” but as is the case with everything I write, I can get it back to muscles somehow. So, “definition” it is! 😍

Appreciate the boost!

This sucker is nearly done! On the final edit now and hopefully 🤞 it’ll be out within a month or so!

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie” YA Romantic Fantasy 119k Words Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines.

Blurb: One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them. Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told. The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it.

Tropes: Thief x Assassin Mental Health Rep Identity vs Duty Class Difference Forced Proximity Secret Code Morally Gray Women’s Wrongs Unlikely Allies to Lovers Text is on a piece of parchment paper. Besides the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment paper are ocean waters with gold flower outlines.

The Atmosphere: There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

Agent’s Guide to “Mark of a Magpie”! 📖🐦‍⬛

When a small-town thief crosses paths with the kingdom’s big-shot assassin, an unlikely partnership is born; but can their goals align before their egos and secrets land them both a spot on the gallows?

No “bill” but ducks have bills and bills are close to beaks so have beaks!!!

Kaia working at the cutting field when it is suddenly attacked by a border of monsters or “Mavros” as they’re called and she reacts a bit differently than everyone else.

#WIPSnips #LGBT #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity

In order to sell books I must spend time on social media but the more time I spend on social media the less time and focus I have to write my giant books which makes it harder to sell the books I already have but all I want to do is write books so I can sell them so I must spend time on social med—

Two for the price of one! Kaia musing about the process and merits of her work at the cutting fields, chopping trees.
