I am so excited to announce that I am now represented by @michelle4laughs.bsky.social at @stormliterary.bsky.social!! We're starting with a spicy romantasy about an archeologist and a ghost-whispering con man sent on a mission to find a magical artifact from a mythological king. Hijinks ensue.

A graphic announcing the agenting. Text reads: "Agent announcement! Shiloh Carroll is now agented by Michelle Hauck at Storm Literary. If you like -spicy romantasy -road trips -archeologists -queer mcs, watch this space! The graphic includes an author photo and the Storm Lit seal on a purple ombre background

It’s all cloudy outside. It’s probably hot and humid, but I’m choosing to believe it’s cold and stormy, so I can start fall already and write to something cozy😂 I’m too ready for fall and so over the summer heat!

Whenever I say something like “oh yeah I’m taking a break from writing,” I mean for like 2-3 days before I’m back at it. And even when I’m not writing, I’m watching stories on TV or in film or reading or playing a story video game😂 So basically the creativity never ends😂

Some news! I wrote a short personal essay titled "Learning to Live" about living with lupus months ago, and today, it's published through the WhyNot platform for young voices like me. Read it here: I get paid for this one! 🥰

I thought I’d pursue an editing career at a publishing house, keep up with my long-distance running, and live in an apartment once I moved back. However, life, as it does, has a knack for interrupting...

sunset with Hawaiian flowers and leaves: Do you have something urgent to say about living with a disability/mental health condition/chronic illness? Tell us about a time you were in the ER or needed help ASAP! What needs to be said about these topics ASAP? How has your disability surprised you, angered you, made you need to exclaim about it?! ...And more! These are just some ideas we'd love to see!

Actual footage of me suddenly getting more ideas for the book I’m writing and writing all the ideas down as fast as I can😂 I really thought this next book would just be an adult mystery without speculative elements. Pshh what was I thinking?😂
