Graphic introducing the next Mythic Roads Press author, Casey P StJohn. A photo of the author is placed alongside the following text: Casey P StJohn lives in Michigan with her husband and their children. When sheβs not writing stories that combine her love of fantasy and the murder mysteries she grew up on she can be found leading her local fantasy book club, reading too many books while buried under her TBR, and daydreaming of her next cup of coffee. The Ghost of Avalon, arriving June 2026.
It's a big week for announcements over here, and we're overjoyed to introduce the next Mythic Roads Press author, Casey P StJohn β¨π

I just did this the other day- to an agent who had just passed on meβ¦ so Iβm sure that made me look like a normal well-adjusted person. ππ€£
Crashed out yesterday so Iβm locked in today. ~balance~ π€£

I feel this- I was half awake driving through thick fog and nearly rear-ended someone. Like, good morning!
Alright blood moon, letβs manifest some good book news. Agent signings, deals, bestseller lists, and not like, all the ways you keep f*cking with Link in the Zelda games. We need a break.
How is it already March? Time has gotten really funky feeling lately.
Sent some more queries today and it feels good! Trying to stay productive and optimistic but sometimes the disappointment catches up to me. I thought I was going to be hitting shelves about now. But, such is life! We march on. #amquerying #writingcommunity #querytrenches
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".
2026 basically
I'm gonna blanket burrito and play video games today because, man, has it been a week!
Like any good story, the journey isnβt always straightforward or easy, but we press on. Hereβs hoping for a happy ending. <3
So I guess weβre going back to the query trenches!I really really want to get this book in your hands, so I will fight tooth and nail to find a place for it! (Wish me a lot of luck, pls)
Well, this is not a post I planned on writing. But life is funny that way- sometimes it doesnβt stick to the plan.
I got a bit of bad news last night. Unfortunately, the indie press that picked up my debut fantasy is closing. That means Spellbound isnβt coming out this year.
Just getting absolutely bodied by anxiety today.
βi havenβt spoken about this due to my visa status, but fuck it i donβt stand for this shit, never have and never will. the senseless violence in our current world is sickening. abolish ICE.β

what u have to understand is that working on my novel, answering dms, and answering emails all cost 1 spell slot but posting? Posting is a cantrip
Sorry but my cats are very cute, please look at them.
The rule is that if my mutual posts about their niche hobby that I know nothing about, I must like the post to let them know I encourage the enrichment thatβs been put in their enclosure
I love that. π
