I love Slewfoot! Iโ€™m listening to it on audiobook and I have the feeling itโ€™s going to become one of my favorite novels.

Working on another novel is never a bad idea, but if you already have a long backlist, Iโ€™d probably go with working on different pitches.

Iโ€™ve been exploring different genres, but lately all I seem to want to write about are generational curses, and questionable choices made in crumbling old manor houses.

Who else is working on something gothic? ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

Iโ€™ve been writing for an NYC artist friendโ€™s new podcast, Obscura Salon.

Itโ€™s a deep dive into creativity, neurodivergence, and the shadows we make art from. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ–ค

The writing is SO good! Even just the first chapter blew me away with the atmosphere, tension, and character. Highly recommend checking it out if you like witchy books/folk horror!

Halfway through the first chapter, and this book is already living rent-free in my soul.

I can already feel myself becoming insufferably obsessed with it. ๐Ÿฅฐ

I finished this on audiobook recently and loved it! I really enjoyed the worldbuilding and Ava Reidโ€™s writing (so atmospheric, and perfect for dark academia + gothic fantasy). โœจ๐ŸŒŠ

This book is devastating me in the best possible way. The writing is beautiful, and I canโ€™t put it down.

Same here! Itโ€™s my favorite genre to read, but every time I sit down to try and write it, I get overwhelmed by the research!

This book really wasnโ€™t working, and Iโ€™ve contemplated shelving it so many timesโ€ฆbut now that Iโ€™m writing it from the villain POV, everything is slowly falling into place. ๐Ÿ–ค

When you try writing the book from the villain POV and suddenly the characters are a thousand times more interesting and the book finally starts to make SENSE. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ–ค

Things have been busy lately so it took me a while to finish, but this book was so much fun!
