Spirited Away x Shutter Island Reality and fantasy blur when an anonymous invitation sends a burnt-out chocolatier spiraling to hunt down a serial killer she thought she made up as a child. 🥀Found family 🥀Feminist 🥀Ghosts 🪻Mental health rep 🪻Disability rep 🪻LGBTQIA+ #GhostPit #C #A #F #T #H #G

9x9 board of photos (top left to bottom right): dark rose bush, dark blue woods at night with fog, quote that reads, “I learned about death by being alive… or maybe I’ve tried it myself.” Starting second row: Closeup of a dragonfly wing, a girl floating in dark water with white flowers, hands reaching up from a dark lake with lily pads, a quote that reads, “we were strangers bound by a shared past, entangled in the present, with no promise of a future.” Forget-me-nots, a man and a woman dancing against a starry sky

The same image from before with arrows pointing out to show tropes from the story which are: found family, haunted woods, past repeats itself, dual timeline, ghosts, repressed memories, investigation, and strong female characters. Two new images to replace the quotes from the previous board: a dark field of flowers in a forest tinted blue, a woman’s hands and body submerged under water reaching out.

A teen outcast from a secret line of Irish plant magicians must harness newfound powers to protect herself from a poison-wielding ancestor who hunts her family across time. 🍄 Plant magic 🌿 Poisons + elixirs 💌 Romance subplot 🎂 Magical baking 🚪 Portal to another realm #amquerying #GhostPit #ya

Door in the Fernwood: In this magical Irish bloodline, poison runs deep.

When sixteen-year-old Quinn puts on an ancient ancestral ring, it shatters the protective binding spell her family cast at birth—awakening clairvoyant powers she should have inherited from her Irish magical bloodline. But the ring also makes her visible to Neris, a Victorian sorceress who hunts Quinn to steal the ring. Hidden away in an Oregon enchanted forest with extended family, Quinn must master her powers before Neris destroys not only her, but their entire family tree.

Portal to another realm, plant magic, elixirs and poisons, romance subplot, magical artifacts, time travel, magical baking

Quinn gripped her camera and leaned forward, her shins pressing against the greenhouse ladder. Face to face with her majestic corpse flower, she held her breath as its infamous, putrid odor spilled from the curling burgundy folds. After years of careful cultivation, she couldn’t afford to miss a single stage of its first bloom. The camera’s shutter clicked one final time as she aimed into its central chamber. Satisfied with her shots, she climbed down and switched on the exhaust fan.
Through the greenhouse glass, she watched her elderly neighbors on their back deck, gossiping as usual, completely unaware of the olfactory surprise heading their way.
Right on cue, Vera’s voice rang out.
“Woo-ee! Who died?” she screeched, sniffing the air.
“Nobody croaked,” her husband Artie grumbled as he sipped coffee from his John Deere mug. “It’s that young girl next door. You remember she invited us over to look at some big, stinky flower tonight?”
“Well, I’m not goin’. Bet you I’d pass out if I got any closer,” Vera said. “You know her mother keeps her locked up in that backyard doing the strangest things. It’s just not normal for a girl her age.”
Although the comment stung, small-town judgments like this only fueled Quinn’s retreat into her own backyard utopia, where she propagated plants from all over the globe—the carnivorous, poisonous, endangered, the beautiful, the ugly, and the common. She sketched the rare or interesting ones—charcoal drawings lined the interior walls of her garden shed wherever she found a blank space. She collected their seeds, dried their leaves, made teas, salves, and medicinal remedies.

GRIM PORTENTS HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE A man is murdered by a hell-beast on his wedding day. Now, with the help of the reaper who collected his soul, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell if he wants to return to the life he was robbed of. 👻 #SP #F #H #PN #OWN #GhostPit

Grim Portents cover featuring a skeleton hand holding a feather and emerging from an open book. The title is on a burning banner that envelops the feather and a large beast looms over it all. At the top, the tagline reads: Welcome to the first day of the end of your life…

"I HAD ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF IT WAS A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION, THE MIND PLAYING TRICKS.
IT WAS JUST A SHADOW. BUT NOW THE MONSTER HAD BEEN GIVEN A NAME, AN IDENTITY.
IT WAS REAL."

Bill Baker wants nothing more than to marry the woman he loves, but when his wedding is interrupted by a rampaging hell-beast, his life is thrown into disarray.
Desperate for a second chance, he will do anything to set his future back on track.
Now, with the help of a soul-collecting reaper named Sonny, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell, in order to earn back the life that was stolen from him and prevent the oncoming end of days.
Faced with the choice between what is right and what is easy, Bill may have to sacrifice all he holds dear for one last shot at life.

Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan.

Ad for Grim Portents, featuring a print copy of the book and an ebook on an iPhone. A QR code that takes you to my website and the words “Scan to learn more about debut paranormal fantasy novel Grim Portents” below it. Under that, it says “Available online anywhere books are sold!” And above it all is the tagline “Welcome to the first day of the end of your life”
