P.S.C. Willis 🌈🖋️ Crying Out for Magic - Out Now! @pscwillis.bsky.social · 29d

When people-pleaser Jay gains guardianship of a curious tree spirit, she must find the joy in being human. But if Jay can't confront the lies and insecurities eroding her oldest friendship, she risks teaching the birch that life is about hiding who you really are.

Left column: The trunk of a tree with a person’s figure in it, a heart made of daisies, a snapped tree, a bicycle.
Middle column: a white girl with freckles and bobbed brown hair standing in a field of flowers.
Right column: a dish of ice cream with two spoons in it, a dark toned shot looking over someone’s shoulder as they fill out a complicated looking form, phone with text messages reading ‘He’s my bf not yours’ ‘Stay away from him,’ a Black person with paint smeared over their face.

ONE LAST STOP x ALL OUR WRONG TODAYS

When Iris wakes up in her past, her decisions alter her present. She'll fix her life: make her mom accept her 🌈 & meet better friends. But when she meet-cutes the perfect man, changing her past means risking a future without him.

NEVER LET ME GO x SEVERANCE
High-masking autistic Emily lives clients’ bad days for them. Her only way out of poverty: lose 5 years working for the ultra-rich. But when she falls for a girl who condemns the time economy, she must decide: live her own life or buy a better one.

JASAD HEIR/ONE DARK WINDOW

There’s a reason magic has been silenced. An outcast shifter and a heartbroken soldier must trust each other to smuggle a cursed relic, before a vengeful sorceress uses it to destroy all magic forever.

The sun set fast, and the moon's light was barely visible through the thick canopy. Ahead a shadow emerged. A structure...a cabin? The smell of rot and earth whaffed my nose. Years of age, dirt, and moss. Broken windows with tattered floral rags.

Before I reached the door the rusted handle turned--

Oh my goodness Little D is 5 months old!? HOW!?

We love smiling and giving mom and dad heartattacks when we try to roll on the couch.

Love spending his time with Daddy being silly.

Red is definitely a favorite color. Whenever he sees it he zooms in on it. 😅

A fake movie poster for the book 'Crying Out for Magic' with the tagline 'Two worlds. Two boys. One amazing love story.' The poster shows a split image of someone jumping in the sunset and a beach with castle ruins.

JASAD HEIR/THE LAST VIGILANT
If anyone finds out she’s a changeling they'll 💀 her. Finding a powerful relic could free her people from oppression & she’ll do everything to keep it. But failure to unearth its secrets will mean her death & the loss of all magic forever. #PosterPit #F #Q #A

Movie poster with a dramatic stormy sky, in black, purple and cornflower blue tones. A photo of James Cosmo in Shogun, holding a pistol, and a photo of Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie in Thor Ragnorok, are overlaid, side by side but back to back.
the logline "There's a reason magic was silenced."
Underneath there are three short sentences of text:
"His last smuggling job."
"Her last chance for freedom."
"Magic must survive."
The title appears in the centre: "The Breath of Silence - an adult epic fantasy."
On either side of the title, like billed names are the following tropes:
- magical prejudice
- revolution and revenge
- romantic subplots
- action and atmosphere
At the bottom there are three sets of laurel brackets with "Shortlisted Future Worlds Prize 2023", "Shortlisted RevPit 2025" and "Longlisted Write Mentor 2025".

JASAD HEIR/ONE DARK WINDOW
There's a reason magic was silenced. Who will bring it back? The sorceress who will tear down empires, the smuggler with split loyalties who doesn't believe it exists, or the warrior who would die to keep it secret? #PosterPit #Q #F #A

A movie poster for 'The Breath of Silence'. The title is printed over the top of a watery sun which puts a mountain, a floating sky city and a dragon in silhouette. Below there is a dark green forest. The sky is a sunset but stormy and red.
At the top there are three sets of laurel brackets with "Shortlisted Future Worlds Prize 2023", "Shortlisted RevPit 2025" and "Longlisted Write Mentor 2025".
Next there are two billing lines saying 'A secretive warrior' and 'a damaged smuggler'.
The tropes are listed like supporting cast:
Found family
Repressed magic
Tigers & dragons
Slow burn
Sorcerors & shapeshifters
Enemies to friends
Next, beneath the main imagery, at the bottom, it says "An Epic Fantasy".
In the review section with 5 gold stars it says "worldbuilding is rich... wanted more" - Judges Feedback.
The final line says "Coming to an inbox soon."

A spoof movie poster for the MS 'Dazed and Uprooted' (a YA contemporary fantasy about finding what you love). Three banners depict the main characters. Descriptors above them read 'Spreadsheet brain demi sexual' 'chaos brain bisexual' 'curious tree spirit.' Underneath, are compliments for the book framed by movie award laurels.
