Wow, it has been such a treat getting to share BLUDEYE BEACH by @eliwoodsgheist.com with the world! It's hard to not get emotional when we see reviews like this ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

What readers are saying about Bludeye Beach... “I really can't say enough good things about this book. The setting and lore of Bludeye Beach are immediately compelling with an energetic pacing that will make it hard to put the book down. But the most magical elements are the characters themselves. I felt a powerful connection with Edie and would lay my life on the line for any of those feisty teens, especially as they grow up to find life ever more complicated. And that's not even counting the fantastic cast of colorful characters around town who each have their own stories to tell. What we learn in this book is just the tip of the iceberg that the town of Bludeye Beach represents, leaving plenty more to explore as the series progresses while satisfying your curiosity just enough for now. But the emotional core of the story is just as important as the mysteries that need solving, and there is no shortage of heart.”

not to abuse this meme, but a big driver in reading smut over writing smut truly is for me to expand my horizons 😂

Wait...gasp!!
What has Quillbert found?
Is he finally at the end of his big book-related quest...?
Could it be...????

#writingcommunity #writesky #quillbert4ever #hookandquillpress
A plush octopus looks up at a wooden door. We see the bottom of a sign. The writing is cut off, but it looks like it could be saying "Hook & Quill Press" which honestly, isn't really a twist at all

Friends, Quillbert is feeling a little lost after finding himself at this cabin. I asked him again what he was looking for, and he handed me this note (transcribed in next post).
Let's help Quillbert out, and cheer him on so he can fulfill his quest!

Quillbert's getting close to finishing his book-quest: he found himself at a library! Of course we celebrate all libraries and librarians along with Quillbert. Still, this doesn't seem to be quite what he's looking for. What else could be out there??

Quillbert found himself at a delightful movie night, but this isn't the book he's looking for. He's happy to follow local customs and feast today with gratitude toward everyone following along with his journey!

I guess Quillbert tired himself out from all that swimming and hopped on a train for the next leg of his book-related adventure. He gave me another hint about what he's up to, though! He said there's someone he's trying to help out?

What the - Quillbert was just in Pennsylvania, USA. How did he end up on this gorgeous New Zealand beach?!
When we asked, he said he's heard there's some hints about his book-adventure here. Or maybe someone who's making books?

Hello, friends! We came across this fellow, and don't quite know what to make of him. He calls himself Quillbert, and says that he's on a crucial mission to investigate some exciting book news. I'm not entirely sure where he's from, but this news does sound exciting...
