Door in the Fernwood, a Young Adult Fantasy novel, complete at 99,000 words. Currently querying. Tagline: In this magical Irish bloodline, poison runs deep.

Pitch: When fifteen-year-old Quinn puts on an ancient ancestral ring, it shatters the protective binding spell her family cast at birth—awakening clairvoyant powers she should have inherited from her Irish magical bloodline. But the ring also makes her visible to Neris, a Victorian sorceress who hunts Quinn to steal the ring. Hidden away in an Oregon enchanted forest with extended family, Quinn must master her powers before Neris destroys not only her, but their entire family tree. Website: KatieKrohn.com

Comp titles: The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones, The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett, A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I Lin. Themes: Portal to another realm, plant magic, elixirs and poisons, romance subplot, magical artifacts, time travel, magical baking.

“Woo-ee! Who died?” Velma Taylor screeched, sniffing the air as she sat on her back deck. “Nobody croaked, Vel,” her husband Artie grumbled as he sipped coffee from his John Deere mug. “It’s that young girl next door. You remember she invited us over to look at some big, stinky flower tonight?” “Well, I’m not goin’. Bet you I’d pass out if I got any closer,” Velma said. “You know her mother keeps her locked up in that backyard doing the strangest things. It’s just not normal for a girl her age.” From inside her greenhouse, Quinn could hear Velma and Artie, who were half deaf and regularly bellowed neighborhood gossip over the fence. Although the comment stung, small-town judgments like this only fueled her retreat into her own backyard utopia, where she propagated plants from all over the globe—the carnivorous, poisonous, endangered, the beautiful, the ugly, and the common. She sketched the rare or interesting ones—charcoal drawings lined the interior walls of her garden shed...

When a teen outcast discovers she's from a secret line of Irish plant magicians, she must harness newfound powers to protect herself from a vengeful, poison-wielding ancestor who hunts her family across time.

Commission sheet, a plain white background with black text listing my commission prices as well was what I will and will not draw. Also pictured are some of my example art

Opening a few #commissions slots cause I need some income! I'd love to draw your characters, whether dnd or bookish! If you have any questions or wish to reserve a slot, feel free to either dm me here or email me at circuslollipopart@gmail.com!

#commissionsopen | reshares appreciated!

Me neither f😭 was planning to try and do it since I haven't done a pitch event in a hot min...

I'd love to see more if you ever feel up to sharing !

It's them🥹omg

Any group of sufficient size will have shitty people in it. This is just math. Yes, even the one you like.

Don't confuse a group that has shitty people in it with a group whose ideas are founded on being shitty people as a matter of principle.

it also might be part of why I was able to do a proper outline for the first time in my life; that, a non-white page, and doing it after writing vs before

I really love using various colors to present information (multicolor pens are my friend) and I incorporated this in my reverse outline, it makes the words much easier to process on top of letting me know what needs attention

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

it feels impossible in these moments but we're going to keep going and keep helping each other because that's all we can do

Ngl, I was surprised at how good it was lol and the songs are bopping too!

Omg happy birthday! I hope it was a good one!!

Illustration of a young man with brown hair, scars from arrow wounds, and a scowl lounging on a gold couch. Standing next to him is his younger brother, a child with white hair, purple eyes, and wearing purple looking concerned. They’re in a tropical looking area.

Illustration of my character Valentin, a half-elf with pink hair and skin who wears fancy green and magenta clothing and a flower crown. He stands on a Mediterranean style balcony and stares serenely out towards the countryside.

A blue tiefling in a green and blue dress and a purple tiefling in a maroon coat floating back to back above a summer landscape, holding oracle cards.

Illustration of my vampire oc Renwick; he has pale skin, black hair, and purple eyes, and wears a red Regency era suit. He stares puzzled at the viewer and is perched on top of a wooden sign that reads "BEWARE OF VAMPIRES".

Hello today's my birthday!! There seems to be a Bluesky tradition of sharing people's artwork on their bdays, so I'd appreciate a reshare as well!

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄
