That's all my pitches, thanks for your patience! Wisdom I already queried back before Foxhunt (got some headway but it's a hard genre to sell), Denizens I'll eventually self-publish - it's sci-fi bug noir. - but if there's ever a time for bug books this feels like the moment, haha 🪲

Young Casey Jane rides into Wisdom hunting a bounty, but the sheriff is keeping secrets: their inhuman nature, not to mention the outlaw-turned-pianist hiding in the local saloon. And the deadly Blackfeather Gang have Wisdom in their sights.

Crime and corruption run rampant in Everdark City, and things only get worse when a fungal plague starts raising the dead. Mobster Kolman Hewer and detective Shaw must join forces, or the whole city will fall—and rise again.

Young Casey Jane wants justice. Secretive lawkeeper Sherry just wants to protect their small town. Outlaws may spell the end of them both, as the past comes back to bite with teeth stained red.

You obviously shouldn't have to pay $77 NZD to register your already copyrighted work in an additional country so people in that country can't steal it (and scrape it and use it in earthburning plagiarism machines). They just pretty obviously should not be allowed to do that. And they aren't! But.

Biting and clawing at art funk by drawing my girls

Sketch drawing of two dnd characters sitting next to each other; One is a moon elf with long curly hair blushing and giggling. The other is a tiefling with short hair looking at the other girl.... Also there is a random doodle of me venting about my art block in the corner ignore that I have a habit of drawing reaction doodles next to anything I draw.

I lost the battle with my adhd and binged #Hades2 all weekend, so I did a lil doodle of Melinoë to try and get back into the art groove today as a compromise with myself lol

A rough sketch in green on a grey background of Melinoe glaring at the camera while gently brushing a lock of stray hair behind her ear

Only 1 day until A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence is published in ebook and paperback - so today is your last chance to preorder it for the special advance price of $2.99/£2.49! books2read.com/honeymoonGrave

And you can read a longer excerpt here: twimom227.com/2025/09/sund...

#romancelandia

The illustrated cover for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, by Stephanie Burgis, shows the silhouette of an elegant traveling carriage over the title and a bat with wings outstretched underneath, all of it framed by apples and with mirrors at the top and the bottom of the image. Above and beside the cover is this snippet of text: “Oh, you poor, innocent fools!” the voice groaned. “If you only had any notion of the dark horrors that lie in wai—oh.” The voice’s tone shifted abruptly as the glowing eyes reappeared and fixed on Lord Riven’s face. “You’re no human.”
“Indeed not.” Lord Riven smiled thinly, the tips of his sharp canine teeth visible by the dim glow of the nearby carriage lamp. “Nor have I been innocent for quite some centuries now, I assure you.”
“And I am no fool,” Margaret said briskly, “so if you’ll direct us to our chambers and arrange for our luggage and a meal to be sent there as quickly as possible, we would both appreciate it. Dawn comes early at this time of year, you know.”
“Not to thiiiiiis cursed house,” the spectral voice groaned...but soft footsteps shuffled obediently backwards, and the door finally swung fully open.

Pretty sure our elite finance team will make the correct decisions here.

The trolley problem with Nicola Willis in control of decision making. One path leads to a single person tied to the tracks with the text "tax the rich". The other path leads to a group of people tied to the tracks with the text "work the poor until they die".
