Good things come in twos (for me)!! Incredibly excited to announce another author joining the crew, Ruby Stevenson!! I fell in love with her YA sci fi and its silly and amazing space cadets. I cannot wait to work more on this and get it out into the world! This IS the sci-fi I've been looking for 🚀✨
A client announcement with a purple background and white text. The text reads Welcome to my new author Ruby!!

I absolutely devoured her YA Sci-Fi and its silly crew of teenage space cadets! It has everything I’ve been looking for in a sci-fi: adventure, space travel, a little romance, rebellion, drama, political intrigue and SO much more! I laughed and cried so many times throughout the story and I am so honored to be able to work on this project with Ruby and many more! Welcome to the team Ruby!

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #SFPit #A #Q #R #SO #OV #LGBT
Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO -  a queer SF/heist/romance - 110,000 words

"Did you hear? There's a human on board."
A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling.
alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)PITCH:
Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist.
Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway?
That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no.

PRIORITIES:
make dinner
remain cozy
haul cargo
go for drinks
pull off one last score
try not to fall in loveFIRST PAGE:

“Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.”
I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity.
“Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.”
“Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table.
It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best.
The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let themcome here.”
The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”COMPS:
Murderbot by Martha Wells
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

TROPES:
Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm
lying to themselves
non-human perspective (afraid of humans)
neurodivergent main characters
metaphorically disabled protagonist
slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship
disabilitynorm and queernorm setting
found family
loveable pet/terrifying monster

A Youtube channel homepage with a purple banner that reads THE LOWFLYERS YA scifi 94,000 words. The profile picture is of a red headed girl, and the channel title is Dennie Rhoda @CadetDennieRhoda. She has 10M subscribers and 202 videos. "To free her disgraced activist mother from home arrest, Dennie Rhoda ditches paintball to be an influencer on the ISS. But when her ragtag roommates go viral, and catch a conspiracy on film, she must escape the space station, wield her influencer, and pick up the fight her mother started, to stop an undercover threat."

I wasn't able to post yesterday, so I'm catching up now! Day 1: Mood board for my dark YA fantasy: A HARBINGER OF DARKNESS 🌙 #DVparty #F #YA
A mood board with 9 tiles (starting at the top from left to right):

A mortar and pestle filled with red seeds on a gray surface
Two hands cupped together with golden light shining out of them
An apothecary scene with bottles, jars, and containers covering a table
An opulent, bifurcated staircase 
The title of the story: A HARBINGER OF DARKNESS
A forest of evergreens, complete with mist
A dagger stuck into a tree
A lunar eclipse visible amongst the clouds
A white, black, and gold mask reminiscent of a masquerade

I say this every year, but in case anyone else needs to hear it: not everything you write/create needs to sell or have some deeper purpose. It’s okay to experiment, to not worry if every sentence is perfect, to just write something for the fun of it that no one else needs to ever see.
