🐍 MEDUSA DOESN’T DIE IN THIS VERSION 🐍

May I present this short comic made by my amazing friend @thewaffledraws from a scene in my Speculative retelling of Ovid’s Medusa that I am currently querying. 👀

Thank you!!

A collage with various photos starting from the top left corner: a graphic of eyes staring at a red pair, Florence Pugh angry with years in her eyes, a picture of street in NYC, a picture of a Black woman’s brown eye, a drawing of Medusa and Ruth, a drawing a White person with a yellow snake eye and sunglasses, a green snake, and text reading Medusa Doesn’t Die in This Version with white text with a plum purple background.

The image 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.

✨ manifesting an offer for MESUDA DOESN’T DIE IN THIS VERSION for Pride ✨

Planning a wedding, moving, querying, and working a 9-5 has forced me to face my perfectionism. 🫠

Received the nicest rejection letter ever. 😭🥺

Working on a new story is weird. I feel like I’m cheating on the story I just finished LOL.

Thank you everyone for your support and patience over the years. 💜 I can still hardly believe I’m one step closer to getting Medusa, Ruth, and the rest of MDDTV into your hands.

I AM OFFICIALLY QUERYING THE MEDUSA NOVEL!! Which finally has a title! 👀

For those that are unfamiliar with the publishing process, that means I am reaching out to agents to represent me and my book for publishers.

I’ll be posting more updates on my newsletter (link in bio) and social media.

"Medusa hates wearing sunglasses––despises them. But if she doesn’t wear them, anyone who looks into her golden snake eyes will turn to stone."

Art cred: Annalise Jensen

A mood board of various images such as a city sidewalk in the fall, a graphic of eyes staring a set of red eyes in the middle, hands covered in clay, digital art of a person with a yellow snake eye, digital art of Medusa and Ruth (a Black woman), a green snake, and the Empire State Building.

🐍 SPECULATIVE MEDUSA RETELLING 🐍

Almost 5 years after being cursed by the Goddess Athena and ostracized by everyone in New Olympus, Medusa has accepted that she’ll be alone for the rest of her life. That is until a new neighbor moves in across the hall.

This sounds so good!! Finally, a story against the fated trope.

Oh no! I’m so sorry :(

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Hey, you stole art rather than crediting them. Just like AI 🤔

Editing is weird because I’m only tweaking and tightening and not really writing anything new.

It’s satisfying to see my story flow smoother and read better, but I miss the joy of writing something new. 🙃

I wake up in the morning. I sit at my computer. The internet screams at me that the world is on fire. I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase
