Happy release day to my debut THE ELYSIUM HEIST! FAQ: - stand alone - multi POV first person narration -spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ -rep: bi, ace, lesbian, Jewish - not a traditional heist, heavy on the romance It’s a digital first release so your best price is the ebook (3.99) but there’s POD too! Links in bio.

Shiny gold floor and shiny silver wall. On the bottom left is a fanned deck of silver playing cards. On the bottom right is a set of charms in the shape of ace, spade, heart, and Diamond and a silver ring with an etched ace of hearts. Propped up against the wall is a copy of The Elysium Heist. Leaning against the book is a dice stick. Behind them stretched across the wall is a Diamond tiara.

Y.M. Resnik @ymresnik.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

I can’t have a regular launch day event (for numerous reasons) so I was hoping to do something a little different. Details in the alt text. TLDR - I’d love if you post a pic of your book and the location it’s in. I’ll make a fun map and video from them. But tag me so I see it.

It’s a map with a copy of the Elysium Heist superimposed.

For a whole host of reasons I can't have a traditional launch day event, but THE ELYSIUM HEIST is less than two months to publication and I'd love to celebrate with all of you by making a map of all the places this book has travelled - even if I can't be there myself.

Since early readers are starting to (hopefully!) dive into their e-arcs, I was hoping some of you might be willing to put up pics of the books (on your e-reader) and state your general location along with either @ymresnik or #TheElysiumHeist so that I can find it. I'll add them all to my timeline as they roll in but for release day I'll be creating a video of all these photos along with a marked up map to share. Not big on posting? You could also message me.

Anyone with a copy can participate! You can take your copy to multiple places! You could take pics of your friends copy if they let. It would mean so much to me.

I loved dressing in the five person heist crew of THE ELYSIUM HEIST according to their own personal styles for a night out. (See additional look in comments$ Which one most resonates with you? I’d wear them all, but I’m an aspiring Kiyo with a heavy dose of unintentional Ilaria.

Which member of the heist crew are you? Fashion addition.

Kiyo - classic, understated, expertly tailored.

Another phenomenal blurb for THE ELYSIUM HEIST, this time from T.R. Moore author of The Gods Must Burn!

Pink purple space background with a quote in white letters “the women of THE ELYSIUM HEIST are beautiful, cutthroat, and utterly charming. Resnik wields her immaculate control over prose with a grace similar to this group of unforgettable women who gamble with their lives - a perfect heist novel that you can’t put down”

Accurate. Especially the “everyone’s a mess” part.
