Thinking about naming my new fictional small town, Starlington. 🩵✨

Either that or Asterfield. 🤔

Starlings are one of Britain's most beautiful birds. With the right light and up close, the colours are amazing. Very underrated!

That's true! The indie community is great and so supportive! One way or another we'll get our books out there! 💪

Christi is querying 🏳️‍🌈 historical fantasy @christiplayford.bsky.social · 7d

So true!! So many people want my book, and I have to keep telling them it's not out yet 😅 If trad publishing doesn't catch on soon, I'm gonna just have to suck it up and figure out the ins and outs of self-publishing. And same goes for you! Your book sounds amazing!

After falling for a sultry elemental witch (her mortal enemy), she must now choose between loyalty to her family’s legacy and freedom to practice magic as she wishes while navigating the gritty underworld of 1920s Minnesota.

I wrote a book for you! It’s about a lesbian witch who was born into a dysfunctional gangster family (think Peaky Blinders vibes, but with magic) and is bound to them for life by an unbreakable blood oath.

Where are my late-bloomer bisexuals, pansexuals, lesbians, and sapphic lovers at? 💖

It’s got magic infused bullets, liquor, and drugs. Blood rituals happening on the full moon. And a silent feast during Samhain. 🍁✨

Am I procrastinating outlining my next novel by posting about the current novel I #amquerying? Quite possibly. But it’s just so fun to post about sapphic witches living in the 1920s trying to escape blood oaths and making out in speakeasies.
