A mood board for THE PASSING OF EIR LAHREN showing a grid of nine pictures. From top to bottom, L - R: A brooding man with longer dark hair smoking a hand-rolled cigarette, dark clouds with pink light coming through; a spiral of skulls and longbones; a landscape with ponds and rolling, grassy hills; a dark, stone chamber with rough hewn columns; a close-up of white flowers; a dark European longhouse; a mixed race woman with dark blonde curls; two old 19th cen. syringes of glass and metal on a wooden background.
The opening paragraphs of THE PASSING OF EIR LAHREN with a grassy landscape in the background. Excerpt reads: Lately, I go by Ivigh. Howling wind pummels my aching bones, but it’s a welcome change from Ossgen’s stagnation. I crouch at the base of the terp, chapped fingers hovering over colorless soil. Cracked clay and storm-blasted grasses are cast in colorless greys under the perpetual dusk. I don’t blame the townsfolk for their fear of the Waste, but it won’t kill them. Not right away. I shuffle another dozen steps to the crest of the hill and lean on my cane. Drag marks, down into the gully. Sure enough, in the basin below lies my quarry. It’s Miss Lange, judging by the periwinkle tipdoek. She left the town two days ago searching for the few quickthorn still clinging to life. Most make it back, those who leave to gather or hunt. She wasn’t so lucky. I limp my way down the slope toward her. She doesn’t hear me, doesn’t turn, but remains swaying in the swale. Her smooth hands grasp at something in reflex, maybe remembering her child’s sticky hand. This is the only time I hesitate, in the stillness when the body recalls its last echoes of humanity. I stop just behind her to pray. (italics) May her spirit find solace and not find its way back. May Wodan spare us each this fate. (End Italics) Then I slit her throat.
The dead deserve an afterlife, with a real necromancer for a grave warden, but they're stuck with Ivigh and eternal unrest. Then cheerful Mudlark blackmails Ivigh into hunting the witch who damned the dead, or risk exposing the truth behind the hole in his beatless heart.

on a dark background, written in pink or white editing past clients the cover of the book "Buffalo Belle's Wild West Show" As a debuting author, I really needed to work with someone who could support me through the editing and publishing process, and I was so right to put my trust in Merlina. She was so patient and clear, and so kind with all my new author anxieties. Her editing was top notch. Merlina instantly understood my voice and what each scene was trying to do, and preserved the style while bringing it to its best standard. developmental edits $0,002/word
on a dark background, written in pink or white editing past clients the cover of the book "Buffalo Belle's Wild West Show" Merlina's developmental edit was so helpful! I appreciated the "compliment sandwich" and "what worked/what can be improved" method -- I never felt overwhelmed or like my story was in bad shape.

Hello again! Sorry for the delay in getting back. I checked on QueryTracker and I had queried you with this book already a few months back, and you passed on it in September. Just wanted to check if I should submit again but I suppose not?

A moodboard on a blue background with images of a church in Mexico, coral reef fish, beers, blue sea with boats, graphs, divers, and in the middle the text: LOVE LANGUAGE OF THE SEA Paul Duval, 36, is happy with his life as an aquarium diver until he comes across the opportunity of a lifetime. Diving for a marine biology researcher off the coast of Mexico. He doesn’t think twice about applying, or getting the job. Until he meets Pr Andrés Zamora. Who seems to have a problem with smiling, and with Paul. It seems the researcher really doesn’t like his new hire. Or does he?
And for the last day of #DVparty let me introduce the next manuscript I plan to edit and query/publish! LOVE LANGUAGE OF THE SEA is about two men who ultimately don't think they deserve the kind of love they're about to get, and work on how to accept it. It's set half in Mexico and half in France.

On a red background are the album covers for the following songs: Heroes by David Bowie Mirrorball by Peter Gabriel Deadman by Karnivool Zero by Dorje In your eyes by Peter Gabriel at the bottom is the title HEARTS OF STONE
And finally, have a small playlist for HEARTS OF STONE! It's very rare for me to match songs to a book but this was an easy one as it fits a lot of emotional music I love.
Any favourite songs in there?
