Volunteering in a remote village can be rewarding but when a body is found, it's up to Martie to work out #whodunnit before the murderer strikes again. Can the group survive in the middle of nowhere or is something from legend out hunting them? And what do the villagers know? #MiseryPit #YA #SFFM #Q

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JUMANJI × #D&D

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

A moodboard for my WIP. Black and white images of Elaine of Astolat looking at Sir Lancelot's shield, a cluster of skulls, a woman in a forest, a segment of the Round Table which shows Sir Lancelot's name, a narrowboat in a lake, bloody hands, a lily, the silhouette of a woman with a sword, and an engraving of Lavaine and Torre mourning Elaine as she lies dead in her boat.

THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING x SPEAR

All Elaine of Astolat ever wanted was to love and serve Sir Lancelot forever. But when she wakes upon her funeral barge with lilies blooming from between her lips, she must pose as her missing twin brother to find who tried to kill her.

Dynamic between my two MC's:

“I’m gonna drop,” I warned.

“I’ll catch you.”

Not my point. Really he just needed to get out of my way, but blood from the cuts on my hand was already making my grip tenuous. I didn’t want to hold on any longer just to argue the point.

Aesthetic board: fairy tale inspired. Spiralling vortex, old book, spotted mushroom, women in gowns, the fairy godmother from Shrek 2, a clockwork pocket watch, and a work desk.

Aesop is a fairy godfather who has never once thought about his own happy ending. When a glitch in the fairytale generator produces Jessie, a wilfully unprogrammed character, he’s forced to consider what it means to be ‘real’.
