Oooh, this looks stunning. I'm hyped! Especially by the mention of ghost cats...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i am beyond thrilled to share the cover of my fantasy novel, THE HOLLOWS 🗡️💀🖤 coming out November 29, 2024!
Hollowing or rotting, such is the fate of Misttown’s witches.
With its eerie, unfading fog, enchanting shops selling cures in the forms of pastries and flowers, and its crystal market, Misttown is the perfect witchy haven. But when the fog vanishes, replaced by a strange green smoke, and ghosts begin to roam the streets, everything changes.
For Brume, a witch whose modest talents include being haunted by ghost cats, baking heartbreak-soothing treats, and uprooting moss and weeds, her uneventful life takes a dramatic turn. Not only is she the only one able to see the ghosts, but when she loses someone to the smoke, she has no choice but to investigate.
Accompanied by a half-demon, a bone witch, a seer, a necromancer, and a herd of ghosts, Brume embarks on a journey that might do more than solve the curse; she might find herself and the magic she has always been too afraid to embrace.
preorder for THE HOLLOWS is now live on Kindle Unlimited!
*only for ebooks; if you’d like to order a physical copy (paperback or hardcover) please wait until the release✨

Author Spotlight: Apolline Lucy
This week, we're excited to bring you a guest essay titled Exploring the Dark and the Romantic in my Upcoming Novel: THE SILVER BIRDS from author Apolline Lucy. THE SILVER BIRDS will be released on September 26, 2023.
Tumblr media
When the idea for my novel struck me, I immediately knew I wanted it to be a sapphic enemies-to-lovers story. Sapphic, because I wanted to write about women; enemies-to-lovers because I basically live for this trope. But I didn’t want romance to be at its core. I wanted to craft characters filled with rage and wants for revenge, characters so fiercely protective of the ones they trust enough to love, that they became monsters.
By mixing gore—the visceral, the violent, and the gruesome—and sapphic—love, desire, and identity—I wanted to explore the darkest corners of human existence, defy expectations, and create a space for queer characters to exist outside the confines of heteronormative narratives. My novel isn’t about characters being lesbian—they just happen to be. It’s about them grappling with their own demons and external threats.
That being said, the horror elements in THE SILVER BIRDS do serve as a metaphor for the discrimination and violence LGBTQ+ individuals have historically faced. The book explores the themes of survival and resilience, reflecting the real battles queer people face in their daily lives. But it’s more than just thrills; it's about empowerment. It’s about wanting to give voice to characters from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities, and make fantasy a more inclusive and richer genre.
As THE SILVER BIRDS is self-published, I had the freedom to explore taboos and delve deep into themes of obsession, vengeance, and the blurred lines between love and violence. Some scenes are quite graphic and might have faced heavy censorship in traditional publishing. But I believe they challenge readers to confront uncomfortable truths and question the boundaries of desire, love, and violence.
Despite the darkness, my novel ultimately celebrates sapphic love. It’s a reminder that love is a powerful force, even in the face of adversity. I’m committed to writing happy endings because the world is already a terrible place, and I want my books to offer an escape. Yes, I will torture my characters, present them with impossible choices, and reveal terrible consequences for their actions. But I will also grant them happy endings. Love must triumph, even in the darkest of places.

lost in the labyrinth of life
she, the prisoner to sleepless nights
can’t find herself
anymore
between the wants and the needs and the lacks
stalling on the spot, an eye looking back the path
an eye rushing up in time for a way out
in the sun she slows down, rejoicing in the second of every smile
in the rain
of her tears
coming times aren’t coming fast enough
grow up grow up, she whispers
longing for sleepful nights
for quiet
for an escape escape escape
before she forgets
herself
in the intricate minutes of passing hours
tangled bodies stuck in days
four arms four legs two heads
now it’s not just her it’s her and more
more and her
moreandher
moreher
mother

8th Day of Writemas ❄️🎄🎅
Thank you so much @agirlandherquill for this tag game/writing prompt/writing challenge and for all of your support and kindness ❤️🤍💚 The rules and invitation post can be found here
For the Day 8 prompt I picked the dialogue prompt "I need more. I deserve more." This is perfect because I used it to improve on the dialogue for one scene in Chapter 1 of The Blood Cleaners. This scene is especially important to me because it's the "Theme Stated" beat of the Save the Cat! story beats. It's a flashback to where a much younger Justin makes his dream clear right before a stir of events that impact him later in the story.
Justin sat with Elena, Miriam, and Deirdre at the end of a table. Miriam sat across from him. He leaned forward. “One day, I’m going to be a blood cleaner.” Miriam slapped Justin in the cheek, as she always did whenever she believed he was lying. “I’m serious!” Miriam hit his face again. “Hey!” He leaned back. “You’ll see! Then we won’t need to live in this dump! I’ll make five times what Ellie does now!” Elena scowled. “Justin, I hope you’re joking because it’s not worth it.” “Yeah it is!” Elena shook her head. “A lot of blood cleaners die during the training.” Justin knew. It was said that the process to make blood cleaners, something called bioengineering, carried many fatalities with each recruitment season. He didn’t think it mattered when sooner or later he’d face the fate of many tunnelers - death by starvation, disease, scorpion stings, snakebites, or a work accident. “Mamá,” Deirdre said, “Justin should do whatever he wants to do. Isn’t that right Justin?” Justin hi-fived her. Elena frowned. “Don’t encourage him, Dee. We have what we need.” “Ellie!” Justin protested. “"I need more. I deserve more." Deirdre nodded. "He’s right, Mamá. Justin isn't going to help us or himself as a street cleaner. He deserves better. And he could change the whole city, not just our lives. Won't you Justin?" “Yeah, Ellie! Listen to your hija!” Elena rubbed her temples. “Regardless, we have to take one job at a time.”

2024 Wrap Up Post!
It feels like just yesterday that 2024 was a brand new year, and yet, here we are, just a day away from its end. So, without further ado, here's just a short list of things that happened to me in the writer world in 2024.
-I published my second novel, Splintertown, in February of this year! It was an absolute dream come true and I will always cherish the memories of how it felt to finally see this story come into the world. Splintertown also sold very well, and very quickly, copies of this one flew out of my hands significantly faster than that of its predecessor. It was so impressive and wild, and I am so grateful.
-A copy of Shadow's Hidden Blade was sold for the first time ever to a customer who lives outside of the U.S.
-I donated copies of Shadow's Hidden Blade and attempted to get it circulated in a local regional library. I was unsuccessful, but at least I tried.
-A copy of Splintertown was sold for the first time to a customer outside of the U.S. (What?!)
-I received many comments from readers over the course of this year that absolutely filled my heart with joy.
-I read a lot of books this year, several of which were written by my fellow authors on Tumblr! J.G Martin's (@jgmartin) Crooked Antlers was the perfect book to curl up with on a rainy night and will likely be a spooky season favorite, Apolline Lucy's (@apolline-lucy) The Silver Birds had me struggling to pick my jaw up off the floor, Alina Capella's (@alinacapellabooks) The Tengu and The Angel was a strikingly emotional summer read, Gabriella Buba's (@inkcurlsandknives) Saints of Storm and Sorrow had me on the verge of losing it on an airplane, and Estella Mirai's (@estellamiraiauthor) The Stars May Rise and Fall made me stay up way too late while desperate to find out what happened next.
All in all, wow, what a year!
See you all in the next one, and hopefully many more years to come!

WIP WEDNESDAY 11/13/24
(I actually have a couple of ill-fated wip wednesdays in my drafts that I forgot but for now I'll focus on the present instead)
here i am! Let's go and see if i can format these tags "properly" this time! as always tags are merely a suggestion; if you don't feel like participating there's no penalty! I understand not having energy and what not <3 (conversely, always feel free to say I tagged you even if you're not on this list!)
tagging: @priafey @avantegarda @hannah-heartstrings @dirty-bosmer (for next time >:] mwahahahaha) @druidx
@thescrolls-haveforetold @azures-grace @thequeenofthewinter @apolline-lucy
the wip below was for day 5 of tes fest but i. as usual. got behind. maybe i'll publish it on it's own (though... are you allowed to post tes fest fics superbly late to the collection???)
I told myself that sitting alone in complete darkness did not bother me because I am an Argonian. Argonians are of the Hist-- as my mother told me from a young age. The Hist is like one massive tree that connects to each and every Argonian; therefore, I was currently being a root of the Hist rather than one of its leaves or branches. Every tree keeps its roots in total darkness for as long as it lives. I told myself this situation would turn out fine and that my mother would inevitably notice I had yet to return home. Tree roots would not let such simple things as being held captive bother them anyway, right? But these indistinguishable noises-- some which almost seemed to be voices-- that were scattered throughout my hearing made the prospect of sitting still very unsettling for me. It was worse with this metal cage keeping me trapped in one little section of Hackdirt’s cavernous underbelly. Awful, awful Hackdirt.

I know you want to buy And My Blood Sang
Tumblr media
Please go buy and read @tilting-at-windmills poetry chapbook. It's gotten good reviews. It's about the journey from trauma to healing. It's kind of weird and experimental. The cover is fucking incredible.
It's also about Maia's work with genocide victims in Iraq and how it helped her to regain faith in humanity so if you also want to learn about that cause just read her bio because it's the entire thing.
It's on bookshop.org and Amazon plus it's on goodreads. If you feel inspired to leave me an amazing review, well, that would really brighten the shit time I've been having lately.
(Thank you @apolline-lucy for being right about just fucking going for it. We worked hard let's share with the world)

Tumblr media Tumblr media
(This mood board is freaking awesome and everything you really need to know about me, the love of my life @im-on-crack-send-help made this)
(Right I think It's time for me to finally get this over with )
Helloo and Welcome to my Blog, This is Primarily a Writer/readerBlr, but there are other things too(Particularly listening to podcasts ) since I can't be bothered to make a side one.
My reader side - I am an avid reader and am almost always in the middle of a book, I will be updating here on which books I'm reading
Current read list -
Dracula (Bram Stoker)
The Screaming Staircase (Jonathan Stroud)
A Dance with the Fae Prince (Elise Kova)
American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Kai Bird)
The Silver Birds (Apolline Lucy)
That Night (Nidhi Upadhyay)
The Complete Adventures of Feluda, Vol 1 (Satyajit Ray)
The Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown)
The God of Small Things (Arundhati Roy)
The War of Lanka (Amish Tripathi) (YES I CAN FINALLY TAKE THIS OFF MY LIST I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THIS I CAN'T BE HAPPIER)
City of Bones (Cassandra Clare)
Circe (Madeline Miller)
The Housemaid is Watching (Freida McFadden)
And that's all I can remember Right about now , Yes I'm reading 10 books or more simultaneously, no I do not have an explanation to that.
My main Genre is Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery and thriller, But I do love widening my scope so do recommend me any books you might think may pique my interest. 😁
My reader side also includes me obsessing over podcasts, I'm including my Favourite podcasts here too, and I assure you they are amazing!
Podcasts for you - I usually listen to them on Spotify and love True crime, mystery, Murder mysteries etc. Here they are -
Rotten Mango by Stephanie Soo (True Crime) - I wouldn't suggest you listen to this if you get disgusted or scared easily, I usually am not affected by these kinds of things and I was still very disturbed, The first 2 episodes are quite... I would suggest you research about it more before you listen to it.
Baking a Murder by Stephanie Soo (Books and movies) - This podcast is again one of my favourites, the way she explains the movie is just so immersive, if you want to understand a story but don't have time to sit down and read the book/watch the movie then this is for you.
7 Suspects by Cryptic Radio(Murder Mystery ) - OH MY GOD, holy- this is probably one of the best mystery podcasts I've ever listened to, tbh you think you know what is going on and till the very end that is kinda sorta true, but then in the like the last 5 moments the plot twist so intense you are left sinking on to the floor thinking "What just happened", listen to, right now.
Magnus Archives by Rusty Quill (Story? horror? not sure what it comes under) - I've started listening to it after getting intense FOMO and can confirm it's going pretty well, I mean I have a LOT to catch up to, but I can say, it's caught my interest.
Murder in HR by Caspian Studios (Murder Mystery) - Again OH MY GOD, again, this is one of the best mystery podcasts I've ever listened to, I mean yeah, the gym ad thingy gets a little bit annoying but the rest of the story compensates for it, again, you think you know where you are going, again up until the very end you just don't know what the hell is going on, and again (Do you see a pattern) when the mystery hits you you are flabbergasted, soo I suggest give it a listen(also kinda obsessed with the soundtrack).
Murphy's Inc. by 97toNow Productions (Scifi mystery) - This is one of the better ones, I'm still listening to it and it's just actually really good, It's kinda the thing you listen to once a day, kinda relaxing (for me at least )
Ok, so this one is a bit different, there is a podcast Caso 63: Enigma: Spotify studios but it's in Spanish which I still haven't quite learnt and I didn't know this existed. I was recommended 2063 theke Esechi by Spotify Studios which is in Bengali which I do, in fact, understand. It was voiced by one of my favourite actors and I was absolutely in love with it, It feels like I wasn't listening to a podcast but a movie and there is so much confusion and so many twists. This podcast has been made in other languages as well, the other two ik are Case 63 (In English) and Virus 2062(In Hindi). So check it out!!
Treat by C13Features (Horror, gory) - This is like a podcast movie, it's around 2 hours long maybe? this is pretty good I would say, you can give it a listen.
Welcome to Night Vale by Night Vale Presents (Absurdity?) - I really don't think I need to say anythi_-_- HAIL THE GLOWCLOUD.
Morning Cup of Murder by Morning Cup of Murder (True Crime) - True crime yk...
The Sounds of Nightmares by Little Nightmares - Bandai Namco Europe (Horror, gore, mystery) - Uhh it's a little unnerving how detailed the actions of characters are As if they were compensating for the fact that there are no visuals, but it was pretty good I would say(Also like the soundtrack)
My writer side- My most popularly known name is Jeah (jee - ah) and I'll be using that here, I am a new author getting started on writing. I still have a looong way to go but, I enjoy writing very much even though my mind and body are definitely not on par with my will to write which is why my second unintended hobby is procrastination. Most of the time that I'm here on Tumblr I am supposed to be doing some other work, like right now.
Anywaysss here are my current WIP's
Mirror My Way - This is my first and only properly published Book. Tbh Not very proud of it, I did it in a hurry, because I took part in the school's Writing program, did nothing the whole year, and finished it in the last week, I honestly think It had potential but I kinda ruined it trying to finish it within the deadline. I wouldn't recommend you read it, It was supposed to be a part of a duology or trilogy but I think I'm just gonna let it sit in the corner for now, let it be there, think upon its mistakes, it did wrong 😤.
Tots and Coffee - Now this one I like better, this was actually inspired by the Scam Caller post here on Tumblr. Kinda had a sudden burst of inspiration and Wrote the first Chapter and since then it's still going pretty strong. Unlike the previous one, it is there on Ao3 if you wish to read it 😁.
I dunno what to call this but I occasionally write short stories in the replies of Pinterest pins when I come across writing prompts. This isn't a wip exactly but , I once posted the starting of a story and jokingly wrote "Continue-!" at the end thinking that would be the end of it, but someone did eventually continue it and that led to a string of events and a very weirdly Eledritch, beautiful Frankestine story formation, I'll be posting it slowly here on Tumblr as well, so keep checking!
Forgot to put it in earlier, but check out @the-writers-corner-inc It's a group blog I initiated, and you can find lots of fun stories, prompts, visuals and more!!
Oh just a side note, I amde another side blog where I post the answer of the everyday wordle.@answer-of-the-everyday-wordle
And that's about it, I don't what else to say, but while you're here, grab a cup of coffee or tea, pick out a book and read a page, I'm right here on the other side with a book as well, let's be booky buddies 😄😄😃😃🍵☕

The 5th Day of Writemas 🍒
Thank you again @agirlandherquill for this writing prompt and tag game in one! 💚❤️Rules and invitation list for Writemas can be found here for anyone who wants to join or needs a refresher.
The prompt I picked for today is sobbing. I immediately thought about the first two pages of The Blood Cleaners, which I recently worked on polishing for Draft 3. I'm still working on Draft 2, but I'm also rewriting the first four chapters for Draft 3. Chapter 1 begins with a flashback of Justin at age 8 sobbing 😢I've posted this before here but this is a refined version.
Chapter 1 "It's not fair," Justin murmured as he sat in the corner with folded arms.  Elena towered over him, looking down with her hazel eyes. She didn’t come all of this way from her assignment to be soft.  “Don’t give me that, it’s plenty fair.” She echoed across the empty lecture hall. Justin heard the children in the hallway laughing. Lady Miguela, his supervisor and overseer of the child workers, tried to hush them. Justin could pick up voices calling him “that luny kid again” or “el loco” or “what a mess he made!”  “You spilled the cleansers,” said Elena. “You clean them up.” Justin blinked as a tear rolled down his cheek. “It was Steve’s fault!”    “Steve didn’t hit you. You hit him.” Justin tightly gripped his sleeve cuffs. “Because he took my broom and dustpan!”  Elena shook her head. “No matter how much the broom and dustpan mean to you, it’s never okay to hit someone and throw things.” Justin pouted.  “And worse,” Elena continued, “you could have contaminated something. Of all the places you could have gotten away with being careless, the hydroponics lab is NOT one of them.” Justin raised his hands. “But he took it from me!” Elena took hold of his hands. “I’m sorry, but we don’t own the tools for our jobs. The broom and dustpan don’t belong to you, not to Steve, not to anyone. At the end of the day, it belongs to the city.” Justin pulled his hands out of hers. “But it….” He breathed in. He could cry around Elena. He only feared the kids outside overhearing him and having another reason to mock him. “But it….”  He wanted to say, But it talked to me! Elena didn’t think of him as crazy…anymore. He wanted to keep it that way.  “But it’s mine.” Justin rolled out a sob. Elena’s eyes shifted. “I understand Steve hurt you. You don’t need to follow his example.” Justin let the tears fall loose.  Let them mock me, he thought. If he was going to be robbed of dignity just as he was robbed of a father, a mother, a friend, a toy, and now his most favorite object in his life, he might as well just let it roll. Elena crouched to get down to Justin’s level. Her hazel eyes faced his dark brown eyes. “I’m so sorry, Justin,” she said warmly. “There’s plenty of brooms and pans to grab from the cupboard. Once you finish cleaning up, you’ll be back with Deirdre and Miriam.” Justin grunted as he shifted to face the wall.  Elena slowly stood up, smiling. “Hey! Tell you what?” Justin turned and looked up at her, meeting with her smile.   “If you clean up the garden room now, then once you get a new broom and pan, I’ll send you to cover one of my assignments today. Now that you’re eight years old, you are allowed to cover some areas alone. You won’t need to spend the rest of the day with Steve.” Justin’s face lifted. He wiped his cheek with his sleeve. “You mean it?” “Absolutely.”  Justin couldn’t refuse a good bargain like this. He took in a few breaths. He extended his hand.  “Ok. Deal.” Elena’s light tan hand shook Justin’s medium brown hand. She patted his spiky dark black hair.

Music Tag (Part 2)
Thank you so much for the tag, @memento-morri-writes!!! I'll go with some more OCs from my WIP "Of Starlight and Beasts" for this one!
Kyran Mavven
(About the character - Kyran is one of the most talented alchemists to currently attend the realm's most prestigious magic sciences academy. He has built a legacy and reputation for himself, out of nothing but his own wit. However, behind his perfect persona lies a past - and terrible mistakes he made - which he wants to keep hidden at all costs, both out of fear of losing all that he's built and to avoid facing consequences for all he's left behind.)
Little White Lies - Voltaire
The Calling - The Amazing Devil
Words Fail - Dear Evan Hansen
Up, Down - Boy Epic
Nimwen Aerran
(About the character - Nimwen has experienced firsthand the effects of the corruption of the continent's nobility and has spent most of her life running from her past as a result. Now grown up, she wanted nothing more than to build a life for herself away from the scheming and lies that left her scarred for life, but fate seemed to have other ideas.)
The Moon Will Sing - The Crane Wives
Running For Your Life - Unsecret
The Wish of Every Princess - Karliene
Welcome Home - Radical Face
Rin
(About the character: Rin is a smooth-talking avian fey whose morals can shift in the flip of a coin. Considered a weak link and banished from his own tribe, Rin has learned to perfect the ways of always coming out on top through the art of deceit, despite his inner wishes for a deeper connection with others. With his external ambitions and his true feelings at odds with one another, Rin often proves to be one of the most unpredictable characters in the whole cast.)
Hangin' - Bastille
Ego - Sarah Kennedy
Twisted - MISSIO
