A recipe card for These Mortal Woes, a horror novel, with the ingredients: 1 cup desperate young woman 3 tbsp drug deal gone wrong 1 tbsp handsome vampire rescuer A pinch of supernatural creatures hiding in plain sight. Isolation for topping Mix all together and serve with a bag of blood. A picture of a man with vampire fangs and the tagline "Is a pretty face worth throwing away her agency?" underneath.

Her life? Traumatic
Her decisions? Poor
Her reaction to getting bit by a vampire? Let’s just hope Casey can break the cycle once and for all.

An Agent’s Guide To The Land of Undying Summer by Ivy T. Woods Adult Romantic Fantasy 103,600 words On a background with a map

With a picture of a mountain, forest, and a lake on the left and text on the right: Pitch When a half-dead priestess is forced to work with the wandering mage who nearly killed her, they develop a reluctant camaraderie. But when he kills a guard, her people’s distrust of the newcomer escalates into a full-scale uprising. His presence risks the lives of the only family she has left, leaving her to choose once and for all: is she beholden to the living, the dead, or herself? With roots in animistic religion and a setting inspired by the Canadian sub-arctic, THE LAND OF UNDYING SUMMER is a stand-alone romantic fantasy

Comps The atmosphere and vibes of: The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang The Humour of: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

Chapter One - The End of Darkness By the time Tilaani stepped through the Wolf’s Fangs, the screaming emptiness of her abandoned soul was almost bearable. Cool air gusted across the mountain, whipping her face with snow. Instead of barely cresting the horizon like she had expected, the sun was high overhead. “Shit!” She snatched her cloak from an icy stalagmite and darted into a slim crack in the cliff face. The frozen stone was jagged from when the cliff had split last century and the edges tugged at her shirt as she sidled through, cloak still clutched in one hand. Time warped within the cavern, stretching and compressing at random. Sometimes she would emerge to find that only a few minutes had passed outside. Today, the few hours she had spent being lectured by the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. The dead delighted in wasting her time, especially when she had actual duties to perform. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.

“I’ll see you soon,” Niamh promised, climbing up onto the baluster.
Roan looked at Niamh standing on the edge of the ship, ready to dive into the water, and thought to herself: how is she my enemy?

There was a splitting sensation at [Niamh's] thigh as one leg became two, then three, then four. Each leg bent itself over, small midnight blue cups lining the ends. The other leg split at her thigh until eight long tentacles braided themselves together in the water, rippling around her.

Roan's thoughts...

Roan committed this face to memory as she moved over, giving the woman plenty of room. She sat slowly, the woman sinking down beside her after a minute. Their hands nearly brushed. Roan could sense the beads of water still clinging to her fingertips.

Marion begins to worry...

Marion wanted to believe it, but she couldn’t be sure. “I am growing old, Lorcan. I need a successor. I needed your sister to stand tall and face her future head-on. If she doesn’t rise to take my place, it will fall into other hands.”

#Seaforth

KER

Liam’s laugh was a low rumble. It wiped the smile off Ker’s face. It wasn’t funny. It was clever. He did everything right. He waited, he watched, he struck when the time was right. There was no luck in this outcome; only a careful layering of steps got him to this moment.

#Seaforth

A mysterious ship in the distance, one woman seeking her destiny, and another seeking freedom. When paths cross and curses become real, they'll have to decide: who are they, really?

Introducing... Roan

One part of her, this seal's body, was made for the water. The other part of her made up of long, grey-tinted limbs and ten fingers and toes, was made for the land.

Okay, writing has been hard. But I got some great feedback the other day, and it reenergized me. I went through the first chapter today and... it's good?

Which brings me to this: I want to connect with more writers. How are people doing this?! Follow spree? Tell me!

New character art has just dropped in my inbox and I am GIDDY.

I sit here at work, silently willing people to ask me about my novel. I just want to chat about it all day.
