So excited to announce that I am now represented by @katieblagden.bsky.social at The Ampersand Agency! I couldn't ask for a better partner in getting my STEM postgrad science fantasy, SEE IN ME THE WOLF, out into the world, & I can't wait to share our future SFFH projects with y'all!

AHHHH!!!! two moots just informed me that AN ARCANE INHERITANCE is available for request on edelweiss+! librarians, booksellers, and publishing people with memberships, please check out my Adult debut. it's yours now, i hope you like it! www.edelweiss.plus#sku=14642169...

NOW AVAILABLE TO REQUEST ON EDELWEISS+ an arcane inheritance book cover

AN ARCANE INHERITANCE is a modern-day dark academia speculative fantasy with a romantic twist, perfect for fans of Babel and A Deadly Education as well as current-day romantasy.

Warren University has stood amongst the ivy elite for centuries, built on the bones—and forbidden magic—of its most prized BIPOC students…hiding the rot of a secret society that will do anything to keep their own powers burning bright, no matter who they must sacrifice along the way.

Ellory Morgan is determined to prove that she belongs at Warren University, an ivy league school whose history is deeply linked to occult rumors and dark secrets. But as she settles into her Freshman year, something about the ornate buildings and shadowy paths feels strangely…familiar. And, with every passing day, that sense of déjà vu grows increasingly sinister.

Despite all logic, despite all reason, despite all the rules of reality, Ellory knows one thing to be true: she has been here before. And if she can’t convince brooding legacy student Hudson Graves to help her remember a past that seems determined to slip through her fingers as if by some insidious magic…this time, she may lose herself for good.

Dani & Ash are 🏴‍☠️ editing 🏴‍☠️ @creatingryunsei.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

While Ashlea and I are working on our major rewrite of our story, I'd like to present our updated #AgentGuide This is our adult/crossover romantic fantasy with a true slow burn romance, and series potential! #WritingCommunity 📖🦋

An agent guide for The Siren's Call by Danielle Bradbury and Ashlea P Screaton. A new adult slowburn romantic fantasy.

Pitch: Delphine’s always wished for a life as romantic and adventurous as her stories. With any brief escape punished by her employer, she’s desperate to flee, if not for Otto; her best friend, and the only family she’s known. So when he is sent with pirates after a mythical map, she refuses to be left behind.

At sea, a budding romance with the Captain reveals he’s tailed by a dark past, one he’d sabotage the mission to escape. But the pirates claimed Otto’s life if anything goes wrong, and Delphine will do anything—even use the Captain’s past against him—to get the map and save Otto.

Comp Titles:

Once Upon A Broken Heart (Stephanie Garber)
- Cocky but hopelessly romantic love interest
- Selfless heroine sacrificing all for love
- Magic and myths
- Betrayal
- True slow burn romance

Dark Water Daughter (H. M. Long)
- Love interest with a scarring secret
- High stakes survival and adventure
- Looming villain
- Pirates
- Sea myths & magical creatures

Howl's Moving Castle
- Impact of societal expectations
- Power of romantic and self-love
- Steampunk elements
- Chosen family
- Taking responsibility

Summers spent in a bordello ought to have prepared Delphine better.

Though Hunter and his girls had always ensured Delphine did not see anything vulgar or unsightly, it was difficult to be ignorant when sitting around a dinner table amongst chattering girls. They told tales of their clients, giggling or rolling their eyes at wild requests from sailors. Hunter would shush them and send a pointed look in her direction, only goading them to spin even more dramatic and rather gruesome tales.

Delphine would blush, but she took the joy in their teasing gratefully; summers spent in Hunter's Bordello were only full of fond memories. But they should have prepared her better for the view she had walked in on.

so... 🌟i'm agented!!🌟 @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social found my weird, cosy/creepy genre-blending story & saw the heart in not just this one book, but the rest of my stories as well🥹 i am so excited to work with her, and i can't wait to see what comes next! 💕

A blurry image of an urban landscape at night, with the words "KAY CHOO" written on the top, followed by a round image of the back view of a woman wearing a black jacket looking out into a lake, and the words "is now represented by ALEX BROWN, Mad Woman Literary Agency" below the picture.

On the top half of the image, text on a background of an urban nightscape that reads "For The Days We Never Had", followed by text against a translucent reddish background that reads, "After Kai Le and Ai Yu encounter a mysterious entity at a bus-stand, they find themselves getting what they wanted - and more. Thrown into the world of urban legends, they have to grapple with the monsters they have unleashed, both figurative and real. Are their dreams worth losing themselves over?"; "Adult Urban Fantasy - 94k words".

On the second half of the image is a 7-Eleven at dusk, with a row of pictures over it: the book cover for Velvet was the Night; the book cover for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue; and the anime poster for Durarara!

i'm rearing my ugly head this side of severe burnout so let me introduce DEAD WATER DIRGE, the re-imagining of my ya historical fantasy that is now solidly ADULT GOTHIC HORROR with a hint of monsterfuckery. think nosferatu meets the shape of water set during the great stink 😈

an image of a white woman in an orange dress laid out on the shore with a river and a gloomy sky in the background. the text on top of the image reads: "Water devoured me as I slept. I drowned in deep, dark waves of a roiling sea. No matter how hard I swam toward the warped moon bobbing above me, I was dragged further and further into its depths. But, I wasn’t afraid. I had known terror since I’d returned to London, but in the womb of the water I was safe. A figure shrouded in shadows drifted by me, but as I turned to look it was gone. A flash of yellow, a pinprick of light in the unyielding black. Iridescent scales tickling the tips of my toes. Comfort. Joy. Home."

The men in TSHID are yuck, so we're skipping them for now and going right to BRAMBLE! The horrormance of my dreams set in the swamp that grows from the corrupted Fountain of Youth where Death himself is the slow-burning, pining, broody love interest. Happy Valentine's Day from him only! 🖤 #booksky

A graphic against a painted rendering of a moth on a sprig of greenery with text that reads the following: "She falls against him, and he holds fast. He tastes sweet, like the fresh rind of summertime. He tastes of everything she loves, everything she misses. The startling flash of a summer gale; the saccharine dew of ripe fruit. Death tastes of home."

If I had to sum up FATED WINDS AND PROMISING SEAS in a single quote, it would probably be this one. At it's heart, it's a book about choices, about the costs of those choices, and the comfort and support of finding those who'd chose the same thing. It's out in the US on the 25th of February

‘It’s not about power,’ Sienna replied. ‘At least, not like that. It’s about making a choice, about taking something for our own. For people like us –’ she glanced at Cass and Erin– ‘for people like us, there is always going to be a cost. At least this is on our terms. Whatever the threads say, whatever we’re supposed to be, we can turn around and say, “No, this is what we are.”’

One of the things I always find annoying about people calling things puritanism and purity culture is that it’s often sort of defined as being anti-sex. But that’s not true. Purity culture is extremely pro-sex, it’s just only the sort of sex that upholds misogyny and white supremacy.
