oh i'm so in love with this book—so many BONES!!!! thrilled to welcome Raven to the team!!!!

Space background with red poker chip on the top border then it says : 8 days The ElYSIUM heist Cover reveal Countdown Setting And on bottom there are playing cards.

A green background with red poker chips on top and gold cling on bottom then there’s a title that reads “the Elysium” with red dice on either side. Below that there is text that reads. A decadent casino in space Run by an AI who recently began to develop some pesky emotions but still lacks a moral code. No pleasure is off limits. There only one rule - don’t try to rob it.

I can’t wait to show you the cover for THE ElYSIUM HEIST, so to keep entertained until the May 22 reveal, I’m having a countdown where you can learn a little more about the book each day!

With 8 days to go we’re focusing on the setting: The Elysium a decadent space casino run by a sentient AI

Sydney Olivia's A VIPER AMONG KINGS, the first in a debut fantasy trilogy, about a shadow-wielding immortal magically bound to obey the king, who sees her chance at freedom when the king is mysteriously murdered and rigs the tournament meant to pick the next ruler in favor of her own candidate, to Davi Lancett at Daphne Press, with Cat Aquino editing, in a very nice deal, in a three-book deal, for publication in summer 2026, by Allegra Martschenko while at Ladderbird Literary Agency (world English).

🐍 Book announcement!!!! I cannot wait for you guys to sink into this amazing new epic fantasy trilogy, it's funny and heartbreaking and vast and magical.

Space background. On the edges are casino items like gold chips, red and white chips and red dice. In the center is an acquisition announcement with my profile pic and the text “acquisition anouncements. YM Resnik. the Elysium Heist. summer 2025. Solaris nova.

I am excited to announce that my queer space casino novel, THE ELYSIUM HEIST, is with Solaris Nova!

If you enjoy my short stories, know that those vibes are here. TEH has sapphic romance, a sentient casino and is uniquely bizarre, just like me!

some news, as the kids say

WE LOVE OUR SIX FANS!!!!!

seems like a good day for a cover reveal

imagine for a sec a really fun (gay!) book where the main characters love each other (tho won't admit their feelings) but it's really a book about politics & the messy nature of social/political change (with necromancers), and then imagine how lucky I am to be working with the author 👇🏾

Come join us! We’re talking with @mattrohal.bsky.social about the PUP Skills for Scholars series too!

With this, I will remain closed to all but bipoc authors until December 13th. Not sure how much #writingcommunity I have on here so far, but though I'd post here too for those who left twitter!

In an effort to break my querymanager addiction, and under threat from my partner, I will be closing to all queries on December 13th and reopening on February 3rd. My FOMO is immense, as I've never fully closed to queries before. Please hold space for me at this time.

I fought you tooth and nail but i'm here i'm here <3
