Hello world! I'm a debut #fantasy #author who is in the #QueryTrenches right now. I needed something to get my mind off of redoing my synopsis for the 50th time, so I wrote a silly #parody of "The Night Before Christmas" entitled "The Day before Querying." Let me know if you can relate. #amquerying

Today, I hiked 8km for the first time in 3.5 months It felt wonderful to move without much limitation, I'm so incredibly grateful! My pup & I stopped right here to celebrate🎉 Thought I'd share a little blue sky with my bsky friends Hope today brought you moments of joy💕🕊️ #photography #gratitude

Sitting on bedrock overlooking the pacific ocean with the almost bare Olympic Peninsula faintly across the sea. Foreground, a very dry shrub sits right in frame (our drought continues) Small chunks of bedrock line the sea, wee islands of separation. The craggy shoreline is in full sun & the ocean is really calm, just a few ripples. Blue on blue, sky & sea with a hint of marine mist shrouding the mountain range

There's something deeply restorative about a quiet, empty beach in October. An utterly still ocean blanketed by grey sky is pure, interrupted peace🕊️ I hope today brings you moments of tranquility🍂 #WaterWednesday #photography #nature #thoughts #words #dolphinlog #lifeisbeautiful

A stretch of beach bordering the pacific ocean which appears grey beneath a solid grey sky. A small rock formation sits in the stillness of the water. The beach is full of logs blanketed with fallen rusty/yellow maple leaves. I don't know about you, but I see a dolphin in one of these logs, it's snout pointing skyward. A quiet day at the beach with barely a ripple on the water & no wind.

"When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there." George Harrison #Scape #lifeisbeautiful #nature #photography #freshair #wellbeing #forestfriday

Looking down a still reflective lake on a mostly sunny day. Taken from shadow, the sky is alive with colour and wispy clouds. In the distance, a dense forest which houses many trails for getting a little lost. Either side of the lake is flanked with forest and in the near ground a broken log with vegetation sits on the lakes surface

MORNING BLUESKY! My book THE GODS OF ATALANTIS #1 is out on digital today!!! 🥳🥳🥳 2 teenagers get chosen as the new gods & must learn to work together as they face scheming leaders, fanatical cults & a prophecy of doom for their island! ❤️‍🔥 Slow-burn romance! 💎 Magic crystals! 🌏 Deep worldbuilding!

Cover of THE GODS OF ATALANTIS, designed by me. The bottom half shows a girl with long flowing hair sleeping in a fetal position, wrapped up in flowing cloths; she is painted in shades of light to dark blue, and her flowing hair and cloths are reminiscent of ocean waves. At the top, upside down, a boy with curly hair and a tattoo on his arm is also sleeping in a fetal position, wrapped up in cloths; he is painted in golds and reds, like the sun. The two of them mirror each other almost like yin & yang, with the title written between them in shining reddish-gold letters. A reddish-gold border frames the cover, and each corner features a small symbol: a marigold flower, a phoenix, an orange & blue striped fish, and a wolf. Along the left and right sides of the border, pale bluish-white crystals are growing. Along the bottom the author's name EMILY KLOTZ is written in the same reddish-gold letters.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Some books are just meant to be, ya know? Had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong. ✨

Cover reveal for STAR WARS LEGACY with Leia, Rey and Kylo Ren

•
Set between Episodes VIlI and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.
After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed: Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch, when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia.
Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete.As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst: With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

Most “overnight success” in publishing isn’t overnight at all. It’s years of writing, rewriting, rejection, quiet releases, and showing up long before anyone notices. The success people see is usually just the part that finally became visible. #AuthorSky

Heartstopper x Hook. The Littlest Darling is a queer YA Peter Pan spin-off. When Lux finds a handwritten log of the Darlings' real adventures in the Neverland, they must fight through their own limitations to stop the Shadow before the island is torn apart. #PosterPit #Q #FT #F #YA

There is a movie style poster with three vertical sections. The top section is a forest scene with the text "Disabled MC", "YA Peter Pan Spin", "Queer Cast", with text underneath that reads "A story of longing to belonging."
The middle section is a picture of sand that reads "The Littlest Darling".
The bottom section is a photo of underwater that reads "How many liest did Wendy tell to keep the story straight?", "Hook (1991) x Heartstopper", and "Now Querying!"
There are vines on either side of the three sections running vertically down the poster.

Good Morning. Yesterday as the sun set in #Ireland I sat at the shore and watched the ripples hit the rock in the foreground, it pleased me so I took a snap. Have a wonderful Friday and remember we are all just ripples passing through life’s sea, so be kind to each other. #photography #Scape #ECK

A calm sunset over Lough Foyle, with the sun sitting low on the horizon between dark, rolling hills. The sky is streaked with soft, wispy clouds catching warm tones of orange, gold, and pale blue. The water is smooth and reflective, mirroring the sky’s colours in gentle horizontal bands. In the foreground, a single dark rock breaks the surface, sending out delicate ripples that curve across the shallow water near the shore, adding a sense of quiet movement to the otherwise still scene.
