Omg Cathie I don’t think you’re ready. It’s amazing

Obsessed 😍

Love youuuu ❤️

Reading bits and pieces of this has been so fun! The kind of book that actually makes you laugh out loud ✨

A killer whale tail rises from a Black Sea, a red-headed woman throws back her hair, a lighthouse stands against a wind-whipped sky.

🌊A small boy finds a body floating in the fish hold of his father’s boat.

🌊A writer packs up her missing lighthouse keeper father’s things.

🌊A private investigator searches for the missing and the drowned.

🌊A horror rises from the deep.

Reasons to love To Ruin the Sky

ELECTRIC SEXUAL TENSION. Excerpt reads: There's a possessiveness in how he touches me and I wish I hated it. "How would you punish me?" I breathe out, unable to control my impulses. Fingers touch my zip as he slowly slips it down, millimetre by millimetre. My body is completely in his thrall, unable to decipher the beat of my heart from the thump of the speaker's bass. Cloudy background with one half of a lightning bolt

MORALLY-GREY IS THE COLOUR OF CHOICE... Two moodboards with information about the two main characters

INCLUDES TOP TIER TROPES... Four book comparisons: Crescent City, Kingdom of the Wicked, Book of Azrael, Quicksilver with tropes attached The other half of a lightning bolt with a cloudy background

Image from a medical textbook of a man with his arm extended, skeletal structure shown in part, with the text "an agent's guide to SEE IN ME THE WOLF by Gwendolyn Vines," an #agentguide #agentsguide for an #amquerying manuscript.

PITCH: (dark STEM academic science fantasy, 107,000 words) When Institute grad student Jim invents a device that could revolutionize medicine, his intoxicating suitemate Bash warns him it could be weaponized—and stops at nothing to prove his point. Are Jim's degree & the lives he could save worth staining his conscience? For fans of: the grounded and ugly magical academia of BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN, BABEL, and THE TWO DOCTORS GORSKI; the criticism of tech venture capitalism of RIPE; the obsessive acespec yearning, body horror, and unreliable narrator of DON'T LET THE FOREST IN, and the corruption of tech and its makers of ARCANE.

A painting in the background of a blond man viewed in profile, head bowed, with an X drawn across his face through which an xray of his skull and spine is visible. The text reads THEMES: ivory tower classism & egos manipulative relationships neurodivergence as power grey ethics in technology academic power abuse consent in medicine code-switching in the lower right hand corner in dark text, it reads (there was only one bed)

Image: a silhouette walking up the stairs, head haloed by a lit chandelier. EXCERPT from SEE IN ME THE WOLF by Gwendolyn Vines/@gwenvines This time, though, it was not Six whose face was bathed and baptized by light. It was Bash’s, his lone gold hoop gleaming amidst his curls, the spindly shadows of his lashes stretching over his dark eyes, and the sleeve of his linen robe where it draped from his arm rendered translucent by the sun’s rays. It was Bash who sat atop his regal, woody throne and passed judgment upon Jim. Jim, his blond hair set aflame not by Kontrolle or diffuser but by the sun’s fleeting gift, stared back, waiting. Unlike Etienne, the King Reluctant, Jim had never been told he was the best. Unlike Six, the King Desirous, Jim had never needed to be the best. Unlike Bash, the King Apparent, Jim had never been the best. Jim’s calling, his compulsion, was to be of use. That is all he had ever needed, wanted, or been. And it was Bash, now, to whom he wished to be useful.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

When town disaster & trailer park queen, Stella, robs a bank to pay for her grandmother's care, she didn't expect the teller to be her neat & tidy ex-boyfriend. Kidnapping him to save her identity, they weave through her hair-brained escape...& like, omg she's actually pulling this off?

AITA for following my heart? I mean it's not like I WANTED to be tossed into a demon filled upside-down reality. Our overlords lied to us about most of it anyway.

Maybe those rebels are on to something after all 🤔

What if…we made a discord group open to all authors with a smooch in their book, regardless of genre, to collaborate, share and grow?

A space to find beta readers, query critiques and industry knowledge from other authors willing to lend a hand down?
Any takers? 👀

Omg been there 😅 you can do it!!
