#UnhingedPit #Q #A #F #ND A CHANGELING'S MAP OF THE MIDNIGHT ROAD as a board game! It's like Candyland but full of horrors!
A Candyland style board game. It starts with an icon of dusk, winds through graphics of gnomes, a spindly tree, a set of theatre masks, a hungry mouth, a maze, a vintage illustration of a girl drowning in a lake, a covered wagon, mountains, and ends with dawn

trope graphic for the obake code. the cover shows Malia, a brown skinned woman with long locs dip-dyed green and dressed in a white top, black baggy pants, and black boots, stands with her arm raised looking overhead. above her are futuristic cityscape style towers, with pink and purple lighted windows and glowing neon signs. a futuristic flying car zooms by overhead. there is a white Hawaiian-style tattoo badge to the left, depicting scythes, a bow, geometric shapes, and axes. the text reads THE OBAKE CODE, with "code" in glowing neon. the cover is set on a background of a green vaporous nebula. the tropes read "2 heists 2 lesbians!" "-hacker voice, I'm in" "cyborg prize fights" "evil butch mafiosos!" "questionable physics!" "set three years after Hammajang Luck" "a standalone sequel in the heist lesbians universe" "street racing!" "starring Malia, our favorite cringe hacker." the release date is February 17th, 2026 and preorders are open now

Everyone is haunted by something. For Jessa, that something is Ivy—her ex-best friend and first love. And she’ll do anything to get Ivy back in her life, even when very real ghosts have other plans for them #PosterPitQ #YA #H
In the center, two hands with matching friendship bracelets do a pinky promise. The photo is ripped down the center and retaped back together, and the hand on the left has been scribbled over in pen. Above the photo, there's a purple border. Black letters read: Readers said and bigger white letters below that read: "Such a novel spin on haunting and toxic obsessive relationships, on queerness and rage and loneliness". Below the photo, black letters read: One way or another, she's going to get her back" underlined with a pen scribble. In big letters, it says "Daggers in Their Smiles" and below that, in smaller letters, Young Adult Found Footage Paranormal Horror

When ex-best-friends Jessa and Ivy take a summer job at a haunted hotel, they’re at each other’s throats, with mutual friend Teddy stuck in the middle. But if they can’t escape their complicated history, the ghost will claim one of them forever #BluePit 📖 #YA #P #H #Q #LGBT #ND

Stalks of lavender 4. A white girl with goth style looking to the lower right hand corner. 5. A neon purple sign that reads find what you love and let it kill you 6. A white girl wearing makeup and a preppy style, smiling at camera 7. The shadow of two hands forming a heart in purple light 8. A black and white hotel hallway 9. Purple candles melting wax

Three teens. Two weeks in a haunted hotel. One ghost out for blood. And more secrets than they can count buried in their past—ones coming back to haunt them. If they can’t unravel their twisted relationships, they won’t make it out alive #BluePit 📖 #YA #P #H #Q #LGBT #ND

Daggers in Their Smiles, coming to an agent inbox near you!
Black background with three lit red candles on the left side. White gothic text reads "An Agent's Guide to" and red text that looks like it's dripping reads "Daggers in Their Smiles." Beneath, smaller white lettering in gothic font reads "YA Found Footage-Style Horror"Black background bracketed by images of stacked skulls in red lighting. White text reads "Pitch" in large letters, and in smaller letters, "Jessa and Ivy used to be best friends---and now they hate each other. But when they, along with their friend Teddy, take summer jobs at a haunted hotel, they can't keep themselves from falling back into old habits that could prove just as deadly as the ghost out for their blood."Black background bracketed by images of stacked skulls in red lighting. White text reads in large letters "Comps" and below in smaller text reads "Rules for Vanishing by Kate Alice Marshall" and "A Guide to the Dark" by Meriam Metoui. Larger text reads "Audience" and smaller text reads "Queer teens, fans of Wendy Heard and Kate Alice Marshall, autistic and ADHD teens, teen girls, people struggling with codependencyBlack background. On the right, there's a vertical hotel sign in neon red. Larger white text reads "First Lines" and below in smaller text reads, "Everyone's haunted by something--their mistakes, their parents' mistakes, that one time they played Sardines at Casey Cook's birthday party (don't ask), the specter of communism--but very few people are haunted by actual, real live ghosts. Well, not live ghosts. That defeats the point of a ghost, doesn't it?"

I might be finishing the first draft of my new project this week 👀
White text on a black background. Next to the text is a neon red hotel sign. The text reads: Everyone's haunted by something- their mistakes, their parents' mistakes, that one time they played Sardines at Casey Cook's birthday party (don't ask), the specter of communism- but very few people are haunted by actual, real live ghosts. Well, not live ghosts, that defeats the point of a ghost, doesn't it?

My newest short story, "A Little Lavender Magic," has been published in Spaceports and Spidersilk's Feb 2024 issue! If you're a fan of botanical magic, queer middle school emotional angst, and froggy familiars, my newsletter has a teaser snippet and links to the website 💜
Four images, each using a purple color scheme. Image one is a purple candle, lit, on a wooden table with a bowl of purple salts beside it and some sprigs of lavender. Image two is purple crystals inside a corked bottle on moss. Image three is a book with dyed purple pages on grass. The last image is an illustrated apothecary with lots of plants, flowers and natural light. Over these is a scrap of paper that reads: How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard--- A.A. Milne

For GhostWIP: Ivy would go as a traditional monster like a vampire Teddy would dress up as a character from a musical Jessa would go as a Sherlock Holmes character or some spin off variation
