I can't even convey how sorry I am to hear this. I went through this with my dog in November and it's awful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Sending love. ♥️♥️♥️

Lots of classical, vibe-y music depending on the scene. As long as there are no lyrics, I’m good.

Oh yeah, definitely had the title placeholder for ages 🥲, and the title fits, but it’s also just a basic description of the fmc. I was just happy to come up with something tbh lol

I hear different things about what's trending or what's 'marketable' every day so I'm glad it's just love of the story that's driving your decision! I'd really be out of luck if the whole world decided it hated fantasy tomorrow (knock on wood) thank you again for the insight!!

Hiya Demi! TY for answering questions. Does a manuscript's future marketability factor into your decision-making at all or is it more about which story sparks passion?

This made truly laugh out loud…and reconsider the whole story. Maybe a keurig IS more mysterious and powerful. 😂

Things Catalina didn't expect when she accepted fulfilling her Nana’s last wish of moving to Alaska:

-Unearthing an amusing boy who begins to haunt her dreams.

-Him being a vampire with no will to live.

-A love that could kill them both

Lupe was an unassuming neuro-coder working her dream job, then the AI took over her boss's mind, his cofounder is kidnapped, and their benefactor is dead. Now she's on the run with Beth, a quirky intelligence officer. Can their love bloom as they prevent the downfall of society? #QuestPit #A #SF

Altai's lot in life is to dig for treasure in the scorching heat of a sun shattered by an ancient cataclysm. When she unearths a bone belonging to the sun goddess Naledi, Altai is tasked with resurrecting her to repair the sun itself.

Ophelia Vale just wanted to prove she was more than just a dumb blonde. At Ludovico, didn’t expect a secret society, a cursed ballet, or Seraphine Moreau—the Black Swan trapped in its grip. To survive, they must break the ritual… or be swallowed by it.

The House of Hemlock

A WORK IN PROGRESS

ONE DARK WINDOW meets STARLING HOUSE in this gothic dual POV adult romantic fantasy steeped in grief-torn promises, fate-bound strangers, and simmering tensions-where a house watches, gods scheme, and rot runs deep.

The House of Hemlock A WORK IN PROGRESS ONE DARK WINDOW meets STARLING HOUSE in this gothic dual POV adult romantic fantasy steeped in grief-torn promises, fate-bound strangers, and simmering tensions-where a house watches, gods scheme, and rot runs deep.

The Opening

There was truth in blood—meant to spill, drain life, stain the earth, and leave death grinning in its wake.
The first gods knew it. They shaped the earth with rivers of it, winding red veins through stone and moss, tangling it into the roots of trees that cracked the sky open with their branches.
Blood was the first language, the thread stitching life to decay, shadow to light. It was the beginning and the end, the thread through all things. It sang louder than prayers and bound tighter than oaths.
It was promise and debt, offering and curse.
The gods demanded it-again and again—until the earth grew slick, not with dew, but with what they were owed.
But even gods forget. They never asked what would become of blood left too long untended.
It rots. It rises. It remembers.

mood board for Beduäfan - romance, wild nights, a letter with a seal, a pirate woman, a man drinking wine, wild dancing around a fire, a sailing ship in a cove

Tales of townsfolk burning those with magical powers are spreading through Beduäfan, but more concerning are the rumors that The Crown is behind it all.

When Moira’s father is suddenly arrested and thrown into prison, she willingly takes over her family’s merchant marine business...but she quickly learns her father was involved in more than just trading goods and supplies.

Moira and her crew sail west to seek trade and answers in the neighboring country of Sildha, where magic is welcomed and the country is wild and ready for growth. 
Along the way she finds love with an old friend, makes a few new enemies, and begins to hone her new magical prowess with the help of another weilder of night magic.

Moira must choose to live her life simply, and ignore the impending war, or to join the revolution and help save her people from persecution.

A failed restaurateur must rescue her hometown holiday feast, but her second chance’s vengeful ex and a sabotaging Grinch put more than the yummy food at stake.

With a bullseye on her back, she must save the feast, herself, and the man she's desperate not to lose again.
