TY! That's great to hear! I've def. seen it from well-established authors but haven't seen much contemporary fantasy from newbies. Thanks again and have a HNY!

Happy holidays, Michelle! Does YA Contemporary Fantasy (formerly Urban Fantasy) even exist anymore? Unless there's a book 2 of a series that was popular a few years ago, I don't see anything like it these days. If not, will it return? TIA!

Writer question! Is YA Contemporary Fantasy still a viable genre? I've seen almost none published in the last year or so unless they were the 2nd or 3rd book in a series.

What say you #writerscommunity? Any #agents want to weigh in? TIA!

Banner showing the covers for the two GRAYLANDS novels, "The Ghost Princess" and "The Jinxed Pirate" under the text, "Graylands is where people go when they don't want to be found..." The cover for "The Ghost Princess" depicts a dark tower sits at the edge of a cliff against gray seas and a stormy sky with a red horizon. The cover for "The Jinxed Pirate" depicts a black-bladed sword covered in blood and stuck in the ground. Around the sword, a medieval city is on fire.

I forgot to add in my word count. 🤦‍♀️

I hope they don't think I'm being cagey. *cry*

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election. How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

Curious @whitehouse.senate.gov about this article. What say you since it involves Leo? thiswillhold.substack.com/p/she-won-th...

Absolutely!!

For a loooong time, the platform known after a certain river 😂 hid/deleted many of my reviews for The Snow Globe. Now they're back. 114! I'm proud of this, esp. bc many trade pubbed books have far fewer reviews. I shall celebrate with a chocolate chip cookie.

Thank you! Means a lot. I wish an agent would feel that way. 😢

The Tragedy of Lancelot:
Twilight x Masked Rider
A teenager with anxiety finds herself protected from a shadowy organization who commands mutant hybrids by a mysterious cyborg with connections to her estranged mother. #YA #Q #SFF #R #QuestPit

Image: a Regency woman with a clock superimposed over her. Text: The Genesis Clock.

PITCH: Imbued with time magic, chronoglass could alter the Napoleonic Wars. For cryptographer Georgiana Adams, it gives her the chance to erase the moment that soiled her character and forced her betrothed to leave her. For Joshua Durand, the chronoglass would undo the mistake that crippled him in the Battle of Trafalgar and cost him his job as a British spy. When they catch each other stealing chronoglass, they make a deal: they won’t turn the other in as long as they work together and ration the precious magic. The deal should be easy—until they fall in love.

Comp titles: Pride and Prejudice (writing style), This is How You Lose the Time War (time-traveling spies), Queen Bee (feminist social commentary), and A Fragile Enchantment (Regency magic).

Snippet from The Genesis Clock describing time travel.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE X THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR

A cryptographer must time travel to reverse her ruined reputation and get her fiancé back—but when she meets a handsome spy, she wonders if finding love in the past is worth the risk.
