So very happy to announce that The Forgetting Study is one of the Top 100 Cheshire Novel Prize #CNP2025 entries!

Many many thanks to everyone who supported me during #PosterPit! No bites (yet), but I had fun socializing, looking at all those gorgeous posters, and making some of my own. Here's to happy writing! 🥂

Hah, I feel like you've perfectly captured my past few years too!

Cool concept!

A poster for the metafictional thriller The Palimpsest, featuring a typing machine, a pair of binoculars showing the two main characters, a pitch, some taglines and a distorted reflection of a bathhouse.

Deep within the murky Roman baths, a murder keeps looping: same method & motive, hundreds of years apart. Now a detective & a plant lady must solve it & break the loop—before the world rewrites itself & they're the next victims.

I'd totally read yours in a heartbeat! It also reminds me a lot of the movie Equilibrium. And we definitely share some comps - I read both of yours as prep for this story!

Thank you, Diane!

Thank you! I hope I can do it justice

#QuestPit #W #a #t #s #lf

Hungry for money, four 30+year-olds join a paid memory study. When the implant starts messing with their head & the scientists behind it vanish, the four must find a way to remove it—or deal with fake memories forever

A murder during a book signing! How creative!

Lovely setting!

A dark, gloomy moodboard on a 3x3 grid depicting the following: - first column: two ancient bathhouses and an aqueduct - second column: an anxious man, a bathing woman, and a pair of hands covered in blood - third column: a torn book, a recursive fractal, and a person reflected in a puddle.

Two moodboards back to back, one cozy and comfy for the plant lady, the other dark and mysterious for the detective. Underneath, two pitches for the book.
