ALL IN ON LOVE ♥️♠️♦️♣️ The email lands in my inbox with a literal ping and a metaphorical thud. I close my eyes and force a deep inhale, sending a deliberate signal to my nervous system that I’m not defending myself from a saber-toothed tiger. I’m just opening an email. #1stlinepit #a #r #q

Another Dreamer was dying. Perched on her tufted velvet window bench, Auriene Cadieux glared at the faint rainbow looming over the chateau grounds, her lip curling into a sneer. #1stLinePit #RF #A #OS

🎸 daisy jones x knives out 🗡️ “it begins with a murmur drifting upon the wind.” seven suspects. one the killer of renowned rock star sam corvi. but who? only they can tell you #1stLinePit #A #LF #M (almost) #Q

a moodboard detailing nine images related to my book ALL THE DEVILS aka devilswip. in order from right to left they are: london notably the landmark big ben, a band performing on stage, a sheet of music, a record store, the silhouette of a rockstar, some musical instruments scattered on a bed, two men running, a pile of evidence and finally a hand holding a cigarette

the first pages of ALL THE DEVILS:

prelude
21st august 2016

it begins with a murmur drifting upon the wind.
at first, it’s small—unnoticeable, but soon that murmur, that slick sliver of sound that could one day change the world reaches humankind and becomes a hurricane—an untamed clamour among the silence. it ripples. it taunts. It waltzes upon the breeze like the destructive force it is and, in the end, is unstoppable. It cannot be contained. It’s there forever, a permanent echo in a vacuum, a scratch on a record, a soundbite of time. today, the murmur begins its devastating dance outside a block of flats overlooking the river thames. a white flurry of forlorn forensics leave the building with disbelief carved onto their weary faces. an unsettling stillness suffuses the space as the murmur passes from person to person.
it’s him, rumbles the murmur. it’s sam corvi. he’s dead.

Who is that divaaaa?✨🤩 That’s just Forest, the MMC of my fantasy WIP. He’s broody, he’s sarcastic, & his sass gets him in trouble. He hates that he’s falling for his enemy, but he hates himself even more😍 #UnhingedPit #YA #F #AG
