Wrapped in darkness, breathing in the manufactured oxygen that rafts through the world. I cradle it close, its white limbs glowing beneath the moon that parts the leaves above me. This bloom is the Moonflower: what Gran described as the rarest plant of the century. And, just like every other flower, one that seemingly doesn’t exist. Yet, in my palm, it reaches for the white sun, glowing with a similar light. No friends to bloom beside it.

In the bottom right corner is an emerald green butterfly is in the bottom left corner.

A dear friend gave me an early birthday card. In it, she wrote, "I hope this next year brings more opportunity than you can handle."

And you know what I say to that --

Publishers are fighting over TRUE HATE'S KISS! One of them even sent this to my agent—a mock-up of what the published book could look like! I guess as a way to get us to pick them?
Any other #Editors want to join the battle? 😁

#UnhingedPit #NA #Romantasy #EditorsGuide #OnSub
Book Cover with a couple almost kissing against a misty forest backdrop with silhouettes of fairies and dragons and a frame with Norse runes. Title: True Hate's Kiss Author: Ann Glimmer. Tagline: "To break her curse, she needs a kiss from the man she swore to kill". Backside of the book cover with the text: Deadly Curses. Forbidden Desire. Kisses With Consequences. Älva of the Fjälla Clan is determined to prove herself a worthy successor to her mother—the jarl—and protect her people from the enemy clan. So when one of them kills her father, she’s consumed with hatred for the mysterious man and swears revenge. When a witch casts a deadly curse on Älva and her family, she’s forced to seek help from the capricious spirits who offer only one way to break the curse: a True Hate’s Kiss. The man she hates must kiss her of his own free will. Resolved to trick her father’s murderer into kissing her—and then kill him—she infiltrates the enemy clan. But the more she learns about her enemy, the more she questions who the true villain really is. Forbidden desire threatens to ruin everything—her clan’s respect for her, the safety of her people, and most of all, her chances of breaking the curse.

You may read tea leaves, but you'll never extract more meaning than #amquerying and #onsub authors obscessing over a single punctuation mark in a rejection email.

Two rejections so far #onsub as I try to cross the heavily guarded border from children’s to adult, but I just sent my agent another editor to consider. I feel like a reverse hydra: lose 2, gain 1 back. Hear my mighty half-roar! 🐉 😂 #booksky

FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN is the cozy read with a trans lead I wish I had growing up

And it's #onsub! #editors, this dual POV second chance romdram about grief, identity, and (re)finding home needs someone to love it as much as @/threeseas_kara and I do

Childhood friends to secret lovers to lonely workaholics an ocean apart.

She's regrouping. He's running away.

A twist of fate puts them back in each others’ arms at Christmas.

Until someone else's greed threatens to tear them apart forever.

A 9-square collage with 8 pictures and one text box. The pictures are of five glasses of beer, a man in a suit, an empty boardroom, a fancy bookstore with intricate ceilings and shelves of books, a man running, a man lifting weights, a person at a computer looking at a spreadsheet, a picture of london with a double decker bus. The text reads: Sometimes you have to slow down to find what you're missing A 9 square collage including a black cat, two glasses of red wine, a woman in a chef's coat cooking in a pan, a city skyline, a woman laying in the grass with a black cat, a woman plating salads, a mountain skyline, and a table in a restaurant with plates and wine. The center square has text that says: sometimes failure is the way to success.

Editors: I'm #onsub with this murdery, Appalachian tale...

Tennessee, 1890. Zella (18) is swept up in the inner workings of a fancy new mountaintop hotel, a secret society of feminist writers, and a handsome stranger after her hand in marriage. Will she stay true to herself & live to tell the tale?

Got a rejection this week because my manuscript was too commercial. That was a first. They liked it a lot though. 🤷‍♀️

I keep telling myself that it only takes one!
