Introducing THE SHATTERED CITY by C.J. Subko,
a novel I'm currently #querying -- a pitch deck

🖤Adult #dystopian dark #fantasy with #Halloween #autumn #fall vibes

🖤93,000 words of magic, death, and romance

Let's go, #writing community

A gray and black collage of fake polaroid photos of people wearing skull makeup. Six photos, three on the left and three on the right. A hooded skull, frowning skull girl, woman holding skull, skull smiling, sinister skull, and the nose and eye of a skull.

With the text in green: The Shattered City by CJ Subko

All on a gray background

The background image is a black and white man with a shaved head and light skin wearing skeleton makeup. The words "AT A GLANCE" are over his eyes in white. In clockwise order from top right, there are other words in white: Angsty necromancers. Isolated city state. Only one cot. Second chance enemies to lovers romance. Kidnapping of opportunity. Healer MCs versus epidemic. Authoritarian government versus rebellion. Fancy people who wear bones.

A black background with the tan and glowing orange words "Pitch / pitch"

In tan, the words: For Daquar, the rules are everything; one wrong move and she’ll be executed like her treasonous parents. But the rules can’t save her from being kidnapped by rebels—including Ritraru, the ex-lover she betrayed, who forces her to heal at his clinic for the poor. While plotting her escape, Daquar witnesses the true ravages of the governmental system and begins to despise her role in maintaining it. Because Thylen, plagued by an eternal epidemic, is a machine; its caste system determines how lavishly you live, and how soon the Rot will kill you dead.

Ritraru still loathes Daquar—at least, he thinks he does. But the closer they work together, the more he sees that her hidden compassion and unrestrained cleverness might lead her into the rebellion—and back into his heart. The deeper Ritraru and his friends are drawn into rebellion, however, the closer they come to a choice: slow dissidence or violent extremism.

To save the city, Daquar and Ritraru will have to rely on each other—and the love resurrecting between them. If they can’t abolish the totalitarian regime, they’ll be executed as traitors just like Daquar’s parents—but when winning means killing, they’ll have to decide whether to protect their consciences or their liberty.

In neon green, the words: dystopian fantasy, 99300 words

A dark almost black background with giant tan chalk letters: REACH ME HERE and some orange dots in the lower right corner. In the middle left, an orange television set with these words in neon green: CJ subko at gmail dot com, cj subko at bsky dot social, cj subko dot com

Democrats want to play it safe in Maine’s white-hot Senate race. That’s a mistake.

An absurd amount of energy is spent trying to avoid primaries, when, in fact, Democrats should want more of them.

It is confirmed that Israel mistreated and tried to harm Greta Thunberg after she was captured, including abuse & forcing her to kiss the Israeli flag while taking pictures of her. Thanks to Swedens swift response she was successfully removed from Israel; taken back to safety with no further harm.

Greta Thunberg called out Russia and Israel, Pope Leo called out Russia and Israel, the late Jane Goodall called out Russia and Israel. Notice a pattern? Intelligent and heroic people stand against tyranny whether it is Russia or Israel.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
