I didn’t make the longlist, but was genuinely thrilled (and a bit stunned) to learn my novel reached the Top 100 out of 2,901 entries in the most competitive year of the Bath Novel Award to date. Thanks so much to everyone who’s cheered me on 💛 #amwriting #writingcommunity #BathNovelAward

#WriteCBC I stand too quickly, the bench scraping against the ground. The world tilts. I want to flee, escape this suffocating truth. Thoughts of Ellie come rushing in, flooding my mind – our life, the dreams we shared. I can’t control it. I’m choking on the grief, feeling it curl around me.

Hi Hanna, I love reading through these #10queries posts. When you say 'imbalance', do you mean tension?

"I’m never making it to seventeen. That’s the thought that keeps drilling into my head as I sit in the Afterlife Terminal, squeezed between two Peace Corps." #1stLinePit #WIP #YA #SF
Pitch: Danake
Blessed be the Rich, for Heaven has been privatized. 
Sixteen-year-old Ollie's fate was sealed the moment he died too broke to afford Heaven. Now, freshly dead and stuck in Hell, he's determined to rewrite it. When he discovers that he possesses reality bending abilities, he allies himself with a silver-tongued revolutionary to start a war and bring down Heaven.

The Drift was more sea than land.
Its cities were a riotous array of flotsam lashed from Angloria's seized ships, and it was on these vast expanses of floating garbage that the world's most eclectic misfits found women for their beds and goats for their cook-pots, though the empire's history books would come to claim it was the other way around.

"Fuck me, Troy." “That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.” #1stlinepit #A co(s)mic #Horror #WIP Query ready this summer at approx. 75k words!
moodboard layout with 9 squares 3 x 3, 6 have over the top terrified men (the dads), along the top and bottom 3 squares. Blood decal drips from top squares through the middle to the bottom ones. A Victorian mansion silhouette sits in the middle most left square, the title DAD BODIES in the middle, and right of that is the silhouette of a d20 with a skull icon showing.DAD BODIES on top of a black d20, black background. To the right, PITCH & COMPS, CABIN IN THE WOODS X JOHN DIES AT THE END X KNIVES OUT, when their detective friend is murdered during annual gaming retreat, 5 dads nust use their years of ttrpg experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like npcs in a badly-written campaign."Fuck me, Troy."
“That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.”
Dave averted his gaze from the bloodied corpse of their friend to face him.
“Really, Troy? Now?”
Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself.
DAD FRIENDS, HORROR AND MYSTERY, DARK HUMOR, SECLUDED MANOR, TTROG ELEMENTS, DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

3 SQUARES next to each other. Firat contains silhouette of an old mansion, middle has TITLE DAD BODIES, thirs has a skull on a d20

Cinderella x Carrie x Dexter. The egg slides down my forehead in slow, slimy trails. The sulfuric smell hits the back of my throat and my stomach turns, but I swallow hard and force myself to breathe steadily. If I gag, they’ll laugh harder. If I cry, they’ll win. #A #H #1stlinepit

She’s always been pale, but now her fingers are almost translucent, dangling from beneath the blanket thrown on her. My hands ache with the need to touch her, but I keep them curled in my lap. #1stLinePit #Q #A #SPF #agentsguide #CON
