Thank you!

My self-pub book is planned for release by the end of the month! I'll need to come back to this then!

That'd be awesome!

Me!

This is awesome! I'd love to be included in this (and any fantasy or indie starter packs).

A friend of mine got super excited to receive a DM from you on Twitter/X, and it really gutted me to explain to him that you're not really active there, and when you were, your account had a hundred times the number of followers!
But I hate to always be that person🥺

I love Pisco Sour! But I'm also very well aware of what it does to me! I still won't say no to the 1st or 2nd one!😁

The map of planet Hymber’s dark hemispheroid where the majority of the high fantasy novel I #amquerying is set within my quirky fantasy universe called #Wisteraverse.

This is the map of planet Hymber’s dark hemispheroid where my upcoming high fantasy novella, Killer Quill, is set within my quirky fantasy universe called #Wisteraverse.
Also, I still #amquerying a full-length novel set here.

A very useful post and something I absolutely had no idea existed!

This is extremely helpful! Thank you!
What I really miss in Bluesky is being able to bookmark posts! I'd bookmark the hell out of this post! Now, I'm just keeping a screenshot.

I just read "Bryony and Roses" and this post almost made me fall off my chair!🤣
Love the book by the way!

Good luck!

Thank you!

Thank you!

😁

Hi! Nice to meet you! I really tried and looked through your feed to find anything about your writing. But I couldn't!

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! I'll check it out! While this is not my usual read, that comic, especially how the monk didn't just say "NO!" but made a pause with ellipsis like he was considering it...chef's kiss! I'm going to dig in!

You had me at if E.T. was hot and gay! I'm just imagining all E.T. famous quotes with your premise!

Thanks so much!

I believe the sensible thing is for agents to jump on this! Such an interesting setting!

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for sharing!

I love this pitch! And the premise is so cool!

Moodboard: Dark fantasy Victorian vibes with purple color composition. Top row, left-to-right: a Byronic handsome man in black, a palace, a dark figure burning in hell fire, a masked female assassin of dark complexion holding a dagger, a serpentine forest trail at night marked with red flowers. At the center, next to a silver plume, is the text: “This world, my dear, is the slaughterhouse of noble ideals.” Bottom row, left-to-right: a dark gaslit street, a gaslit city blanketed in coal smog at night, a young woman in a Victorian gown, wrought-iron gates opened to a foreboding foggy estate in the dark, a trail of red petals leading to a dark stone temple gate.

Excerpt: A gaunt mouse nibbled greedily at a stale bread roll left on my lunch tray. I didn’t have the heart to give her a name as I might lose her too. The lingering scent of mud and mildew hung in the air, a long-forgotten tomb. I clenched my jaw to keep my teeth from chattering. The bed’s cast iron rods dug into my ribs through the thin mattress. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull. The faded floral pattern of the peeling wallpaper was my only reminder of life beyond these walls. I pulled the threadbare blanket tighter around my body, hugging my knees to my chest. It did little against the chill creeping into my bones. The raging blizzard had transformed the courtyard into a churning white sea, rattling the broken window shutters hanging askew. At least no screams echoed through the halls today.
