After finishing the Astral Kingdoms, I wanted to write something much smaller, more intimate. Something where the stakes are personal and quiet compared to killing gods. I also wanted to make people cry. VOW OF ASHES, a novella of a dying woman and the vow she demands of her husband, is that book.
book cover: Vow of Ashes by David Dalglish
blurb: Beautiful and heartrending. A story about what the world takes from us, and what we give to each other in order to survive it."

My latest substack post comes from the heart. The mixed-race identity crisis is very real, and imo isn't explored enough. This one's for all the multiracial people (and writers!) who have ever struggled with a sense of belonging. chezzawrites.substack.com/p/the-identi...

Have been so busy I’ve missed most of the engagement but had to jump on for this one. I’ve been riding horses & barrel racing all my life, held a WPRA card for the last 10 years (professional barrel racer), and love training. You’ll find horses in nearly everything I write. 🧡 #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

For context, I’m writing an adult fantasy and am stuck around 110k, already having cut about 10k. I’m revising to try to cut more (aiming for 105) but I’m still nervous about that number.

A.T. Rainach 🖤 @atrainach.bsky.social · 23/03/2025
Thank you for letting us ask! Touching on word count, I’ve seen a lot of conflicting “limits” for fantasy. For a querying author with a high fantasy, big stakes & world building, what is a reasonable word count? I’ve seen keep it under 100k, but also seeing authors getting rep at 115-120k for this.

“I will always be destined to love you, in every life.” 🕊️Feminist reimagining of Cowherd + Weaver myth ❤️Past lives 🌹Mortal-immortal love ⛓️Social expectations of women 🧧Epic/historical Asian-insp. fantasy 🧵Red threads of fate 👹Diyu/spirit world #YouDeservepIt #Q (after SmoochPit) #A #RF #OwnVoices
An agent's guide to BRIDGES OF MAGPIES by Chezza LeePitch: In a feminist reimagining of a Chinese folktale, rebellious Shizhi runs away with the farmer she’s forbidden to marry, but when a jealous Celestial Empress forces her to relive a past life that spans three realms, Shizhi must confront madness, tragedy, and hell itself to reclaim her freedom and save the man she loves.Snippet:  “He swiftly pulled the needle from my palm and the sharp pain bit me again. But as I winced, a bright light flashed behind my eyes—a roiling pink gap in the stars. A glimpse of feathers tinged with blood. The heat of cracked lips against mine. 

 The pain of my hand was lost in a wave of agony surging deep inside, from a part of myself I hadn’t known existed. Swells of bliss tainted by brokenness. The duality of joy and sorrow. I felt it all, as if I’d always been one with these feelings. I knew I should be afraid, but instead I lingered in the raw grasp of these emotions.”Comps: IMMORTAL, A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS, THE NIGHT ENDS WITH FIRE. Tropes/themes: Female agency vs. internalized misogyny; Star-crossed lovers; Morally grey FMC + MMC; Celestial immortals; Three realms / past lives; Female friendship; Diyu and the eighteen levels of hell

When he dies, their master’s  widow, Hermione, strikes to enslave her again. Andromache is faced with the only decision she can accept, no matter how terrible. She has to leave before attracting even more danger on her children.

My favorite part of writing is when I’m 75k deep in my WIP and everything is going according to the outline then BAM! a side character goes off script and throws a major unexpected plot twist that adds so much drama and tension. Didn’t see that coming. 🤨 #amwriting #writingcommunity
