Hi campers! I’m team #CRPDirewolves and revising my second novel, Macarons and Monsters to prep for querying. It’s a darkly whimsical contemporary/urban adult fantasy with ND/queer rep, a bunch of magical creatures, and a generous pinch of academic satire. Here’s a little infographic for it.

#posterpit #A #F #H for fans of Heather Fawcett and T. Kingfisher, Macarons and Monsters follows a neurodivergent anthropology student terrified of fairies who discovers her sweet tooth and self-acceptance in Paris. What will scare her more: eldritch horrors or academia’s systems of oppression?
Movie poster with a teal background image of a Parisian riverside landscape with colourful macarons in the foreground, imps and cats decorating the corners. Title: Macarons and Monsters. A novel by Elodie Turquois. Logline: Paris has a dark sense of humour. Above title: ND/Queer Rep, Contemporary fantasy, Folklore creatures. Emily in Paris x T. Kingfisher. Below: Love triangle, Academic rage. Coming to inboxes this summer.

Going up Arthur’s seat seemed like a good idea to distract myself from #revpitwaiting but I’m barely up a little and already regretting it 🥵😅 except for the awesome view

Thank you! I wish I had a picture of a macaron (or a real one to eat in celebration) but all I have is this picture of a Mont Blanc from my most recent trip. My sugar-obsessed imps thank everyone for the love and promise to keep causing trouble in Parisian tearooms!

Haven’t been participating in #revpitwaiting since I was travelling and then my elderly dog crossed the rainbow bridge. Going to try and make an effort to get back into it. I mostly write in a little corner of my bedroom with all my books and a little antique table. If it’s warm, I go to the shed 😊

#revpitwaiting today for mood and aesthetics I’m offering a collage of some of the locations in Macarons and Monsters including some arcades, the Sorbonne (both its monumental entrance and a lecture theatre ), a university library, macarons in Ladurée, a café (Carette) and some bookshops

Macarons and Monsters is a single POV. Liv (24) studies behavioural anthropology at the Sorbonne. CPTSD, ND, chaotic bisexual. Loves: black coffee, minimalism, drawing architecture, turtlenecks, casual sex. Hates: whimsy, folklore, being infantilised, public transportation. (Dream cast pic)
