Weston Reindl @westonsaintjames.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Miles is misunderstood by everyone except his friend, Omar. No one else knows his favorite color is crimson (not blue), he likes pottery, or that he has a crush on a boy in school. Not even Omar knows that Miles and his family guide spirits to the afterlife by hosting them for dinner. #DVParty #MG 0141

Weston Reindl @westonsaintjames.bsky.social · 20/10/2025A pet peeve of mine: someone comparing “good” and “bad” writing and while reading the “good” one aloud they perform it, emphasizing the right words and pausing at the right moments. But for the “bad” one, they sigh every word and suddenly punctuation is invisible. Clearly, there’s a bias. #writing 000

Weston Reindl @westonsaintjames.bsky.social · 06/10/2025#DVParty I’ve been trying to make a playlist for Juniper for a few months now but it’s hard finding songs for MG with a darker vibe. But I found a few songs that relate to the theme and topics in the book. Lmk if you have any songs for a gay boy who loves bugs and is fading away. Lol #MG #F #LGBT 3171
Weston Reindl @westonsaintjames.bsky.social · 04/10/2025#DVParty #MG #F Opening lines: “Juniper heard the hiss just three days after moving into Aunt Tabitha’s apartment. He was still getting used to the strange noises, like the creaking floorboards, the bones of the walls cracking, and the broken radiator routinely spitting steam every six hours.” 4171
Weston Reindl @westonsaintjames.bsky.social · 04/10/2025I’m late to the #DVParty Meet 12yo Juniper Webb: a bug- enthusiast 🪲🐞🐜 who can be too independent for his own good.

Sure he's suspicious when the cute con-artist opens up a witch shop next to his apothecary. But when she's accused of murder through love potion, he reluctantly comes to her aid.

Weston Reindl @westonsaintjames.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Everything Juniper learned on the Scare-a-normal Tour is true—ghosts and magic are real. And the ghost in his apartment knows the perfect spell to get rid of his pesty cousin. Because of her, he’s always in trouble. Besides, the spell is only temporary…or so he’s told. #WSPit #WSPitQ #MG #LGBT #F 33319
