So fun, I ADORE Welcome to Nightvale -- this is the first time I've ever seen it as a comp/mix! Sounds super interesting!
A corkboard with photos of the forest and ocean and notes pinned to it. The notes: “Vampire???”, “Time of death: midnight”, and “Tremulous Oak Sanctuary: might not be a cult (but also might be)”.
OCTOBER DAYE X WELCOME TO NIGHTVALE

Hi, #BluePit! I took a pause on my #comic, Low Magic, and funnily enough, that’s kind of what the comic is about! I’m back on it, hoping to start posting again in Feb, so if you'd like to read about pausing from a stressful magic job to live in the woods, check it out! #F #W

Moodboard for Rooted in Stone, sapphic gargoyle urban fantasy. Tagline”Somewhere away from this world, indistinct, infinite, and unknowable… What was beyond that veil?” 10 very dark, moody, grayish images around the edge include the hazy spires of Notre Dame with birds lying across, the Milky Way, a crow coming in the land, a gargoyle peeking over a ledge, a shadow crouching in a corner with piercing eyes, a young woman with black hair over her eye, a crow in front of a grave, a graveyard statue of an angel, and the interior of a church with a stained glass window. In the center of all this, is a bright painting of a natual landscape done in vivid sunset colors.
The only place depressed goth-girl, Helena, feels at home on the cheery campus is the dark, haunted chapel. When the stones come alive to warn her of a demon invasion, she becomes entangled in a cosmic war.
And falls for a gargoyle.❤️

Dear Mom and Dad,
Camp sucks! Why did you send me here? My counselor hates me if I breathe the wrong way. My roommate wakes me up at 6! It feels like I can't stop messing up. And something feels off about the returning campers....
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
Some Love, Hannah

Thought I'd round off talking about DAUGHTER OF THE SWORD by sharing the playlist I've made for Bronwyn, the main character: the songs here speak to her character in their lyrics or sound, or inspired me while writing.

Moodboard titled ‘A Most Inconvenient Arrangement’ with five images: London skyline, a couple embracing in a nightclub, a young woman dressed in smart office wear, a close-up of a young couple about to kiss, a young couple arguing, a man in the middle of removing his shirt.
Heartbroken by the man she loves, Amaya now has to vacate her home, too
So, OF COURSE she thinks an arranged marriage will solve all her problems!

How long before their arrangement becomes inconvenient?
