When he says 'I love you' but Matthias says 'I don't just love you. You're the star guiding me through the pitch of night. My tether in the storm. I'll rebuild this world for you. Tear the cosmos from Vyrus' hands, make you its queen and it still won't be enough to show you how I adore you.'
Popping on here to announce that my epic gothic romantasy 'Heart of the wolf queen' will be published by the fantastic team at Second Sky books in Spring 2026! Featuring a partially sighted FMC, second chance, marriage of convenience, dark magic, secrets and of course, an animal companion!

A collage with a cocktail menu, a man and a woman, a girl with a camera, a man pinning a woman against the wall and kissing her and some wine bottles. #questpit
Cordelia likes people, photography & observing Nate making cocktails.
Nate hates everything, especially his sweet regular Cordy. But when his boss tasks them with creating a new cocktail menu, things get shaky, feelings get mixed, & everybody is craving a drink #questpit #rc #wip

An Agent's Guide to THAT WHICH DEVOURS
104k words | new adult sapphic dark fantasy romance | dual POV
The background is "And she never returned", an 1892 painting by Alfonso Simonetti. A woman sits on a cliff's edge beneath a full moon.
pitch
Princess Lenore is cursed to see ghosts. Court jester Fen is a monster hiding in plain sight. Lenore plans to slay Fenβuntil her brother is kidnapped by Others from the bog. Only Lenore knows where he was taken. Only Fen can lead her there. If they want to save the prince, they must work together, but Fen swore never to return for a reason. A long-dormant beast stirs within her. It hungers. Lenore must face her fears, and worse, her own dark desires.

On the left is my drawing of Fen, bowing with her arms outstretched. She has grey-brown hair and gray-ish eyes. She's wearing a jester's motley of blue, red, and yellow. Lightning flashes outside the windows in the background, while orange torchlight glows from above.
On the right is my drawing of Lenore standing in the rain, holding a bunch of heather. She is pale with long wavy reddish brown hair and dark brown eyes, looking solemn. She's wearing a long white dress. The background is misty and dark in the rain, with a shaft of sunlight illuminating the ground in front of Lenore.
excerpt
Lenore hardly registered her words. The darkest of dreads blossomed in the depths of her heart. She couldnβt breathe. She couldnβt move. Not merely stiff from sitting for so long. Cold spread through her, cold so sharp it hurt, like shards of ice had pierced her lungs.
Black ichor spurted through her clenched teeth with a strangled gurgling sound. Inch by lurching inch, she forced her eyes down.
Two gnarled spectral hands protruded from her chest, curling long crooked fingernails into her skin through her dress. They lifted her up until her legs dangled limply beneath her, toes barely touching the ground.
A voice like the breaking of ice spoke close to her ear. βWhat have we here, dearest? A frail little fawn caught frolicking beyond her fatherβs walls?β

Her skin prickled despite the glare of the July sun. He stood there, arms spread wide, same cocky grin on the face she'd once adored. She swallowed. Mouth dry and late, far too late, her fingers stumbled as she closed the door. His polished shoe stamped down, hands slipped into pockets. #WriteCBC
