I'm currently querying Strike - a police procedural set in the early years (1834) of the Met Police. Expect a Napoleonic War veteran turned beat copper, a mathematical widow, hardmen aplenty, rivalry with the Bow Street Runners, and a race against the noose to break a complex code #QueryTrenches

It’s tough to pick one. Maybe “Hope is the Thing with Feathers” or “Because I Could Not Stop for Death.” How about you?

Oh, Bartholomew…. (sigh) 🥹 The Knight and the Moth has gothic fairy tale vibes, beautiful prose, a magic system based on gods and omens, slow burn romance, and a gargoyle sidekick that absolutely steals the show. 🤍 Have you read it? I am NOT okay after that cliffhanger. 💙📚

I’m teaching The Awakening again for the first time in years. The joy of revisiting an old favorite is rediscovering great lines I forgot. Like this one: “But whatever came, she had resolved never again to belong to another than herself.” Kate Chopin wrote this in 1899. 💚 #englishteacher 💙📚

Hekate by Nikita Gill Hekate is finally having her moment! I just got this beauty, and I can’t wait to dive in. I’ve loved Hekate since I read Macbeth back in HS. I’ve been greatly influenced by her in my own writing. My Greek myth-loving, witchy little heart might burst. 🖤 #hekate #nikitagill

I can’t remember the last time I devoured a book series this fast. I loved everything about this original duology: the lush gothic atmosphere, angst-ridden characters, and fascinating magic system. And what a satisfying ending. What’s the last book you couldn’t put down? #booksky #amreading

A sword resting atop a book, a skull, a gothic cathedral, the ruins of a castle and finally THE END.

ATLA x WICKED Calypso must steal 12 divine amulets in order to regain her powers and seek revenge against her enemies. Villain FMC Hero MMC Elemental Magic Destroy the world, dont save it Hate at first sight #BluePit 📖 #Q #YA #F

A vilain rises pitched as ATLA x Wicked
Ya fantasy, 106k words the background is our solar system planets aligned in a straight line with starts on the outer edges

The pitch: Calypso must steak 12 divine amulets in order to regain her powers and seek revenge against her enemies. Pictures of four books: Heartless Hunter, One dark window, the prison healer, poweless the background is our solar system planets aligned in a straight line with starts on the outer edges

Themes: villain fmc, elemental magic, destroy the world, dont save it
Tropes: secret identity, forbidden love, hate at first sightthe background is our solar system planets aligned in a straight line with starts on the outer edges

First lines: Calypso Morana was five when her world burned.
Later that cruel night, with tears and ash staining her face, she vowed every person involved in the destruction of her realm would die by her hands.
Thirteen years later, that time has come.

The night is still as Calypso plunges her dagger into the bark of a Red Tree, carving deeper as the trunk squirms with each cut. Thick branches above her shake, dropping a crop of crimson leaves in protest. A low warning echoes from the depths beneath the soil as the ground shifts. Slowly a root snaps up, lifting itself to freedom, slithering toward her like an eyeless serpent.

Enjoy long-term narratives—filler episodes and all? ETHERI is character-driven, snarky, and sometimes just vibes. If you love a good fight scene, feeling the feels, and stories that linger, this is for you. More info & where to buy: linktr.ee/sagetgreene #bluepit📖 #P #NA #Action #F #Indie 💙📚 🌈✒️

The book cover for ETHERI by Sage T. Greene. A hand reaching up over a blue galaxy background.

Synopsis

As an Etheri, Mari lacks physical strength and mana control. She feels destined to play the supporting role for her partner Rhu (a natural talent and future Lord of Newhaven) and her cousin Junie (the confident and beautiful one). But when Mari learns that Junie is a member of the Blaze—a mysterious criminal organization—she isn’t sure what to think.

Mari finds herself learning about the Blaze and gets embroiled in their misadventures. By the time Junie’s identity is leaked to the Etheri villages and the Blaze comes under attack, Mari is no longer convinced that she can pick a side, but failing to do so begins to endanger not just herself, but the people she loves. Mari must choose where her loyalties lie: with her village, with her friends, or with herself.

A Note From the Author
(What to Expect)

This series is for readers who are all about the journey.

Think of the trilogy like a long-running anime: there are high-stakes arcs, but also the occasional "filler episode"—moments that are meant to breathe and add levity. Book 1 is the first of several arcs; the MC’s problems are far from over.

Expect a reading experience that is more literary than commercial. It’s character-driven, emotionally complex, and a little quirky—just like real people.

If that sounds like your kind of story, I hope you’ll come along for the ride.

– Sage 🌿
