Don't know that one. I can't remember why it's called that or like all the points. I think it's just mushrooms... used in horror? Mushrooms growing in bodies etc? Stuff like that 😆

Texting with another YA author friend this morning about the rough state of the market, and our consensus was, publishing keeps looking for the next Hunger Games, but they wouldn’t acquire the original if it were in their inboxes today

Ash 🐉 CHILD OF THE DRAGON @ashintheashes.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

I've been dreaming about the day I'd see my own name on a book cover. A massive thanks to JV Artists for making the cover of my dreams! Child of the Dragon is releasing March 10, 2026 from @inkedingraypress.bsky.social and preorders are available now on their website!

A purple background with the cover for Child of the Dragon (A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley). Fire and ice surround the cover in a way that gives it a somewhat 3D effect. The text reads Cover Reveal at the top and across the bottom it says Coming March 10, 2026

Reminder that before I started writing novels I didn't study writing at university, attended no workshops/conferences, knew absolutely no one in science fiction publishing circles, and didn't start going to conventions until after I got a contract for my novel. What I *did* do: Write. A lot.

Yeah, I've liked a Jewell book, really didn't like another one and I've heard mixed reviews for most of her books. I don't mind unsettling thrillers, don't like domestic ones all that much or ones where cheating is a big factor - but otherwise, whatever looks good
