I just finished my final(ish) round of revisions for HOW TO LIVE WITH A GHOST. I'm so excited about it.
HOW TO LIVE WITH A GHOST:  Gothic Horror with Dark Humor and heart.  Comps are A House with Good Bones, The September House and The Haunting of Velkwood. Tess moves into a haunted Victorian with a strict 21 day eviction policy.  When a dying neighbor brings muffins, a python and secrets she can't ignore, Tess overstays---and the house locks her in.  Escape means solver a 40-year-old mystery buried in her own history, a story she's rewritten in order to survive.

If I have to decide on favorites I will never answer this question, so I’ll name a few I’ve loved recently. The Haunting of Velkwood by @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social, The September House by Carissa Orlando and Play Nice by Rachel Harrison. #womeninhorror

ECHOES IN THE LOOP. I love how Eris handles this in snippet below: "He could feel her desperation humming through her like static. Her body was wound tight, pulse elevated, breathing shallow and irregular." #revpitwaiting #revpit
Eris shifted closer, reclining against the pillows, and gently drew her into the warmth of his body. It started unformed, a low note, then another. She felt the hum of his voice in her bones before she heard it with her ears.
  The sound was tentative at first, seeking. A few wandering notes strung together by instinct. She felt the softening of her jaw, the easing lines between her brows, and he adjusted. Each note shaped itself around her pulse, her breath, her neural patterns.
  The melody slowed, matching her rhythms. Subtle harmonic intervals wove between the tones, designed to focus her without overwhelming. It was born from her, her physiology, her pain, her need.
  Her song.

A little late to this thread! I’m a mother of 3 in Ohio with 3 dogs, a bearded dragon and a ball python. I seem to alternate between gothic horror and near future speculative fiction. I do a bit of drawing as well. So happy to connect with everyone.

My #REVPIT is ECHOES IN THE LOOP. Adult #SpecFic. When homicide detective Morgan Faris investigates seven deaths at the abandoned Harrow Institute, she discovers the impossible. The partner synths tied to the victims should have permanently decommissioned within ninety-six minutes. They didn't.

Haunting…or my teenage son? Did a poltergeist violently open all the cabinet doors and leave small animal bones strewn around the kitchen overnight? OR did my teenage son inhale a rotisserie chicken after forgetting where we keep the plates? #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #womeninhorrormonth

WEDDINGS FOR TRADE 👰🌹 #cozydystopia (yes) #sapphicromance (heck yes) An event planner, a gardener, a seamstress, and a minister walk into a garden... and then the world ends. That was 20 years ago, though. Today, it's just the eve of yet another wedding. #questpit #w #a #s #u #d
Two fun chill ladies hanging out in a garden set up for a wedding. Dystopian city in background. Title in bubble letters "WEDDINGS FOR TRADE"

Jordan’s fingers reached out tentatively. A hand met hers, warm and steady. Grief rose in her chest. Grief at having lived so long before this moment, so long without this connection. The second heartbeat adjusted until it matched her own. The loop was forming. #QUESTPIT #Q #A #S #SF #MY

#questpit #a #q #rf A cursed trans runaway prince is caught, assigned a 24/7 guard, and betrothed as his deadname. To cure his curse, the prince must trust his guard and friends to plan a splashy escape w the guard. However, the prince risks his freedom and his friend’s lives should his plan fail.
Under the royal guards gaze bride elf flowers castle dragon fairy transThe next time I open my eyes, it’s early morning. I slip my glasses on and look left. Bright orange light seeps through the red curtains, casting a dreamy haze across the room. Swirling dustmotes catch in the light, like little ghosts. It’s a bit peaceful, actually. It’s almost enough to make me forget that I’m being held against my will.
When I look to my right, a ripple races down my spine as I shout: “Who the fuck are you?”
A man—no, an elf steps forward. He’s in a royal guard’s outfit: dark purple uniform with a rhomboid panel on the front, gold buttons connected by golden chains dangling from breast to breast. The long sleeves meet at a pair of slender white gloves. His violet eyes glow in the orange light. Elves’ eyes can be violet? I thought that was just for cursed humans. Before yesterday, I’d never met an elf. Now I’ve met two, and both have unusual eyes. I don’t really know what else to think other than, Holy shit, what is happening and who is this?
The elf bows, straight, pitch black hair swinging forward with his head. “Greetings, Your Highness,” he says in a voice that melts the ice in my ears. “My name is Darrow Broadside, and I am your new guard.”

Seven bodies. One sealed room. When a detective investigates deaths at the abandoned Harrow Institute, nothing adds up—especially one detail she can’t explain. The partner synths tied to the victims should have decommissioned within 96 minutes. They didn’t. #QUESTPIT #Q #A #S #SF #MY

The house winks with a plywood eye and I wink back. I respect a lady who can lose a fight with gravity and keep flirting. Children’s singing reaches me: ‘Terror Theresa, don’t you stare, wrapped her baby up in hair.’ I tug my jacket closed and smile. A house with baggage. #Questpit #W #A #H #PR
