RE-INTRO POST 🤠

There are so many social medias™️ now and I signed up for all of them without bothering to explain who I am or what I'm doing here. So. Here I am. I still don't know what I'm doing.

CL Montblanc
I write mystery/thriller/horror for young adults
My book Pride or Die is a campy & goofy mystery
I like video games & all things horror-related
I dislike making graphics
lmao please save me

you can now read my book early 🔪

it's a YA mystery with murder and twists and stuff but there's also enemies-to-lovers banter between an enby MC and autistic LI and you'll have to find out if they maybe get to kill people a little bit too 🥰

Thank you for reading!! <3

They Want Us Dead is about to start making its first baby steps into this world 👶

coping with grief in the normal ways: becoming a gym bro. collecting bags full of hair. working at a haunted house. carrying a platypus everywhere.

it's understandable to have angry thoughts about the publishing industry but somehow time and time again it ends with authors fighting other authors—a lateral or downward punch—and no meaningful action

heyyy so while you're taking advantage of the sales how about you throw me into your cart?? 😚🔪
this book is perfect if you like queer romance but have the attention span of a fly and want some murder and mystery to season your banter. it comes out april next year—and that's a threat.

As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.

This is what happens when you write a NB/M rom-com but then decide forced proximity would be way more fun if they're fighting for their lives against a murderer.
