returning home to take over her father's sanctuary for magical creatures, Reece finds herself knee-deep in feathers, dirt, and debt, unless she can accept help (and maybe love) from her ex 💚✨

Noelle Monét | BOUND BY FURY out now!! @noellemonet.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

did someone say wip meta-data dump? FURY is made specifically for the unhinged bonkai shippers, the bi girlies out for revenge, the queers desperate for a dark academia set in the appalachian mountains where history literally haunts the halls & the monsters were right in front of us the whole time?

meta-graphics dump for BOUND BY FURY.

central photo of main characters, a shorter Black girl and taller white guy with red hair and title in the middle. covers for ace of spades, witches steeped in gold, cemetery boys, and a study in drowning. bonnie + kai ship meme. Black witch spinning in a black dress, green eye crying, dark academia library, fall road, lightning. Character art for harper the MC and the cast. memes that say the following: "if enemies attempting to murder each other, why sexual tension?" "i could fix him," good for you i guess. i could be the only thing he's truly afraid of." "a tarot deck where The Fool is just a tiny mirror that reflects your face." "it's a revenge story really, with some love sprinkled" and "if witches were hunted, drowned, and tortured with no proof... who are the real monsters? -unknown"

Excited to share this to #BookSky My debut novel, WE KILL THE FLAME, is coming in 2025 from @HarperCollins.bsky.social! You are cordially invited to a twisty thriller set in a wealthy Black boarding school, featuring sapphic cheerleaders, female rage & debutante balls! This is my dream come true!

Tamara Cole’s book deal: Karen Chaplin at HarperCollins/Quill Tree has acquired, at auction, Tamara Cole's debut novel We Kill the Flame, pitched as We Were Liars meets Euphoria in the vein of Gillian Flynn for Gen Z, a YA psychological thriller about a Black girl from a wealthy family built on a legacy of lies who must unravel the dark truths leading up to and after the night of her debutante ball where she was almost murdered, before the killer strikes again. Publication is set for 2025; Natalie Lakosil at Looking Glass Literary & Media negotiated the deal for North American rights.

I’m thrilled to announce I’ve signed with Penelope Burns at Gelfman Schneider. Penelope is a force to be reckoned with, a sharp and discerning eye and an equally kind spirit. A powerhouse in every sense of the word, I am so pleased to be partnered with such an amazing agent.

Haven't done one of these in a while. (And bsky ate my last attempt to post this) #WIPSnips

Even then dampened effect of his compulsion was too much for Marian; the scream in her chest shattered into dry, broken sobs. It all hurt so much, and he was too close, his all-consuming presence suffocating the fight in her. Surrender, it said with every caress of shadow. Perhaps, just this once, she should. She was so tired of fighting him—fighting everyone. If giving in meant an end to this pain, then it’d be worth it. Panting, she stopped clawing at the hand he’d pressed to her belly and sagged in his arms.

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.
