I always make my return from the void to take part in pitch events for new WIP ideas even though I don’t finish the old ones, and I’m trying to convince myself that it is an innocent writer’s quirk and not a fatal flaw in my ability

A collage of images, a 3x3 grid, with a warm orange dust filter over it. Top to bottom, left to right: a man with sharp facial features looking down solemnly, the inner symbols of a white and glowing transmutation circle, a hooded man standing in a field of flowers, a building exploding with fire and glass spilling out of windows, paper from books about alchemy laid out on a table, explosions outside of a building, a girl with blonde hair looking on in horror, a body engulfed in black shadows and white light, a man looking intensely forward

“Evren Layvey often wondered what it would cost to create God.”

An alchemist and a thief must work together to stop a rogue magician and his manifestations, while a foreigner has news that could bring war to the nation.

If you saw me post the original pitch without including the actual hashtag of said pitch event then NO YOU DIDN’T and I’m not really a silly person who doesn’t proof read anything

consider me already HOOKED 🪝👀 wowow

a moodboard detailing nine images related to my book ALL THE DEVILS aka devilswip. in order from right to left they are: london notably the landmark big ben, a band performing on stage, a sheet of music, a record store, the silhouette of a rockstar, some musical instruments scattered on a bed, two men running, a pile of evidence and finally a hand holding a cigarette

the first pages of ALL THE DEVILS: prelude 21st august 2016 it begins with a murmur drifting upon the wind. at first, it’s small—unnoticeable, but soon that murmur, that slick sliver of sound that could one day change the world reaches humankind and becomes a hurricane—an untamed clamour among the silence. it ripples. it taunts. It waltzes upon the breeze like the destructive force it is and, in the end, is unstoppable. It cannot be contained. It’s there forever, a permanent echo in a vacuum, a scratch on a record, a soundbite of time. today, the murmur begins its devastating dance outside a block of flats overlooking the river thames. a white flurry of forlorn forensics leave the building with disbelief carved onto their weary faces. an unsettling stillness suffuses the space as the murmur passes from person to person. it’s him, rumbles the murmur. it’s sam corvi. he’s dead.

“it begins with a murmur drifting upon the wind.”

seven suspects. one the killer of renowned rock star sam corvi. but who? only they can tell you

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO NAME HER HOLY ✨💓 ~It’s been such a privilege to watch the journey Aubrey has taken to create and publish this, and now that it’s released I can’t wait to finally sink my teeth into it!!!!

Having so much trouble focusing on a single WIP that I’m making no progress on ANY of them.

I’ll write a few words on one and think “this isn’t good enough” or “I should be writing a different one” so I move on to the next and the next and then repeat until I don’t want to write anymore. UGHH. 😩

OMG I GET TO HAVE THEM IN MY LIFE SO SOON 🥲💓

Can’t wait for this book to be wedged into my soul 😩

This doesn’t happen in WIP. Not at all. Wouldn’t dream of writing such a thing.

Another one for the list 🙏🏼

Background shows a dark planet with an accretion ring. There is a starry rectangle with a section that read METROPOLIS DOWN in green. Above the graphic it says COVER REVEAL and below it says JANUARY 3.

Just one week until the METROPOLIS DOWN cover reveal!!! 👀👀👀

A man eating a pomegranate with a flare and grain filter over the image. White text box reads: Carol of the Bells was rapturous in the Great Hall beyond the confessional booth, with hundreds of Mass attendees tuned in to the choir-song, but all Wes could focus on was Trev, and how he had stripped down to nothingness. The man stood bare before him in the small space, lit only by light allowed in through the mesh of the door. Wes’s eyes lowered to the discarded brogues and then up, taking in the white of y-fronts hiding an erection, the hair-dusted chest, and the silver cross of a slack chain that was about to absorb a multitude of cardinal sins. “What if someone notices?” Wes asked nervously. “Let them.” Trev grabbed Wes’s hand and brought it against flesh. “What will He think?” “Frankly, I couldn’t give a fuck what He thinks.” Trev smiled, and then: “Wes, kneel for me.”

Nothing says MERRY CHRISTMAS like being blasphemous and wickedly horny during midnight mass…

A square collage of nine images: window view of an old university, porcelain plate with a blood splatter, dark haired man, the inside of a pomegranate, blonde man resting head on hand, tower on fire, two men kissing, blood trailing in the snow to a river

A square collage of nine images: a brown haired man looking upset, an old university entrance, dark library with ladder up into stacks, old newspaper clippings depicting ‘murder’, hands tied with many strings, devil tarot card, an empty art room, two men tangled together on the grass, blond man looking over his shoulder

IVORY BLOOD 🏰🩸—FFO: The Secret History, IWWV, Saltburn, Addie Larue.

Okay, hand it over immediately ✋

I have all the need in the world for this ‼️

Ahhhhhh this sounds and looks so beautiful✨😍

A black and white collage of nine images: a book front titled “how to speak with the dead”, Elijah Hewson from Inhaler used as a face claim for Vincent, skulls piled on top of each other, a hand reaching out through smoke, a blacked out box that says “Vincent Page” “VOIDWALKER” and one that says “Magic comes with a price”, a long and empty corridor, a spider web with a red tint in the middle

A black and white collage of nine images: repeated text that says “I can’t go back there”, Boyd Holbrook used as a face claim for Caleb Farrow, a car underwater, a shovel digging up dirt, an angel statue, a box with the text “Caleb Farrow” and “VOIDWALKER”, text “You can’t save her” with a body wrapped in cloth behind it, broken glass, a boxer with wrapped up hands holding his face

VOIDWALKER 🕷️

Vincent is on the run after committing a violent act, Caleb is looking for answers that could right the past. When they cross paths, Caleb takes advantage of Vincent’s downward spiral for his own gain, unaware that dark forces are closing in.

#WIPPit #A #LGBT

VOIDWALKER is a story about necromancy (but really it is just about driving places and being angsty and gay while doing so)

“Hi.” 🍊

Genuinely admire all the lil creatures who write in my phone. for horror:

@vesperdoom.bsky.social a friend and a talent in this space and I’m so happy to be following their journey!!

@leechjuice.bsky.social every snippet he posts is an absolute FEAST for the eyes and mind

#HORRORWRITERSCHAT

Definitely Mike Flanagan’s recent work. I love that character development never takes a backseat to the horror in his projects.

Also, Midnight Mass’s use of religious trauma—incorporating real world horror into fictional horror is always something I try to do in my writing
