I love my monsteras so much and they are taking over my house 😅 Adding to the pole will help the plant climb taller! If it's getting too rowdy you can separate the plants in that pot - they can grow together, but sometimes they get in each other's way. (Or leave them be if they're happy!)

Most of the writing on the cards is boring out of context, but one of them does say "sex o'clock again"

Index cards laid out in rows on a countertop. Each row is a different color. The index cards are covered in writing, though it can't be read clearly from the camera's distance.
Creating the color-coded outline for my time loop rom com was one of the most satisfying things I've ever done as a writer

A meme with four images. The first is a piece of paper that says “Resurrecting people is heathen behavior”. The next is SpongeBob looking at the paper. The last two are SpongeBob throwing it into a fire while smiling.
A couple is making out. They’re labeled the MC and the newly resurrected love interest. The second image zooms out to show a person standing by awkwardly, labeled the MC’s brother who was m*rdered for the inciting incident
“My brother was k!lled” = panic
“I worship the Goddess of Justice, she’ll handle it” = calm
“The Goddess refuses to launch an investigation” = panic
r/resurrection: I tried to summon my unalived brother’s spirit but now I’m stuck with the bratty crown prince of our rival kingdom 😫 what do I do??

Eight images total. First column, three images, top to bottom: the planet Jupiter, a colourful alleyway with wet pavement and purple and blue lighting, a spaceship flying across the sky with a red trail. Second column, two images, top to bottom: a M/F couple kissing under red light, the words “We can be heroes just for one day” in neon yellow lights. Third column, three images, top to bottom: two disco balls hanging from ceiling, a ringed planet in purple and blue neon lights, a couple in space suits holding hands on a rocky terrain.

It's in the Cards is a queer rom-com with light speculative elements, perfect for fans of romances with just a touch of magic, like New Adult and One Last Stop.
Elliott: When a rent hike threatens to price Elliott out of their apartment, they scramble to bring in more cash - specifically, by offering tarot readings at the metaphysical shop they manage. They've spent plenty of time playing roleplaying games. Playing the role of a psychic reader should be just as easy...right?
A photo collage shows dice, a person giving finger guns, and tarot cards fanned out on a table.
Adrian: Adrian Reyes has psychic abilities - when he touches an object, he learns about it and others who've interacted with it. After years of feeling alone, he's finally met another psychic, one who conveniently offers him a job right when he needs one.
A photo collage shows a close-up of a hand, a person playing guitar, and a partially melted candle.

Food photographer and Italian footballer turned food writer. Notting Hill, the Cotswolds, Naples and Sicily.
Food photographer Francesca won't be falling for her client TYVM. Sure, Luca's a legit snack, but he’s also in a celeb couple the whole world adores. Feelings boil over; Luca admits it’s a fauxmance. Too bad undoing a fake dating contract is much more trouble than setting one up. #questpit #q #r

A photo collage that shows a "psychic advisor" sign in a shop window, a person adjusting another person's tie, a person running their finger across another person's palm, a person touching a tarot card face-up on a table, and a beach boardwalk.
To drum up business, fake psychic Elliott offers REAL psychic Adrian a job at their metaphysical shop. But to keep Adrian employed, Elliott must keep up the ruse that their abilities are real - and avoid falling for his dry sense of humor or pretty smile. #questpit #OS #AG #A #R

This is a moodboard of orange and green images with a spooky, woodsy vibe including a hand with a vine, and deer at night, an eye reflecting fire, a set of pill bottles, top surgery scars with a barbed wire tattoo, and a black woman covered in ivy
A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become.

A paperback copy of Artifice & Access, with a detailed turquoise hand-illustrated cover, on a background of fake grass. There is a trailing plant hanging across the bottom left corner and a gold and black masquerade mask in the top right.
Artifice & Access is finally here! This anthology of disability in fantasy is so inventive, so warm, and so full of heart - I’m incredibly proud to be included among its authors.

A group of three books and a single book over a sunset background. Two golden branches are on the top and two teal branches are on the bottom.
Avalon and Hiraeth are under Haven on the left side. Written under that is "Most people think the fae are gone... Most people are wrong."
Fortitude’s Prize is on the right. Written underneath it is "A young alchemist wrestles with secrets, storms, and pirates on a high-flying adventure across the skies."
Twelve days to Fallen Knight!
To celebrate, I've put all my books at $0.99. While you're waiting, be sure to snag The Fae Queen’s Court series and Fortitude’s Prize while they're on sale!
