You can't quite go see the movie yet, but in just over 2 weeks you'll be able to read the book, as this meet cute between a naive mage and an awkward fantasy nerd will be hitting shelves!

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.

I love this premise! Would absolutely read.

P.S.C. Willis 🌈🖋️ Crying Out for Magic - Out Now! @pscwillis.bsky.social · 1d

So many crafts. And stargazing.

P.S.C. Willis 🌈🖋️ Crying Out for Magic - Out Now! @pscwillis.bsky.social · 1d

Yay, thank you

P.S.C. Willis 🌈🖋️ Crying Out for Magic - Out Now! @pscwillis.bsky.social · 1d

Yay, always encouraging when I hear a demand for it.

P.S.C. Willis 🌈🖋️ Crying Out for Magic - Out Now! @pscwillis.bsky.social · 1d

A gentle story about rediscovering yourself, with:

💜 Tired asexual and chaotic bi #own rep
😥Big life choices
🌳Trees with opinions
💔Friendship break up
🫂Friends > relationships (especially toxic ones)
🧶Stop glamorising the grind and do crafts 🪡

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.

Ending my night with screechy little dinosaur noises of the BEST POSSIBLE KIND, though I probably can't say anything official for a while.

Having fun at Flights of Foundry and got most of an ace coaster crocheted during a Chill-n-Chat.

Give me a wave if you're attending things.

Strongly considering going to bed at 8pm.

Please just imagine I told you something inspiring that made you want to buy my book or add it on goodreads.

I'm so done for the week.

Went to an evening poetry event. One of the seating options was deckchairs. I knew that was dangerous but I enjoyed my evening of poems with a little accidental nap in the middle and I stand by that choice.
