Uh oh, looks like it's 2015 and the crew of BLUDEYE BEACH got Tumblr accounts...
Hello, #pretendpanel!

I would love to plug @hookandquillpress.com - not only are they reporting live the actions of the brave octopus Quillbert, but there's going to be some exciting news coming from them soon 😍
Well #pretendpanel, it's that time again! I hope you had an excellent November and that life is going swell.

November 29th: Freebie Saturday! Post anything you want e.g. plug something, acknowledge someone, ask a question

Spencer and Reggie are investigating the Gray Lady's realm in spirit form.

From my romantasy wip about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold.

You got this, Quillbert!!! Please don't give up now!!! 💜💛💜💛
Friends, Quillbert is feeling a little lost after finding himself at this cabin. I asked him again what he was looking for, and he handed me this note (transcribed in next post).
Let's help Quillbert out, and cheer him on so he can fulfill his quest!

Fewer hits than I expected tbh!

This place seems nice. Certainly no one could get up to any creepy scary murdery type stuff here!

From Book 2 of my #Atlantis trilogy. Featuring a bonus zigzag for yesterday's prompt 😂

Happy #WIPSnips 29 - Dedicate!

More of Noah's first meeting with Mr Gellar, when he asks the Librarian to help him solve some of the little mysteries around this place...

From #Tenement, my dystopian mystery about people living in an infinite building.

Boosting this since I know Matt was a much beloved member of the writing community here. If you have words or a little extra to give, this would be a wonderful way to honor his memory.
His widow, Cat, has invited friends to leave messages and donations in his memory to Macmillan, Matt's chosen charity. I've helped set up a memorial page so please feel free to share this to anyone who knew and loved him.

Dang Quillbert, I want to read all of those books! 😍 what else could you even want??
Quillbert's getting close to finishing his book-quest: he found himself at a library! Of course we celebrate all libraries and librarians along with Quillbert. Still, this doesn't seem to be quite what he's looking for. What else could be out there??

I'm always a fan of spreading kindness ❤️❤️ and there are some gorgeous pieces here!
🎂🎉it birthday weekend🎉🎂

SO. All I want is the following:

1. Go to my curated art purchases feed: Khonmissions!
2. Find a piece you like.*
3. Go to the original post, tell the artist why you like it. 🔁❤️

*If you don't like my blorbos, go be nice to another artist this weekend. Really. That's it.

Happy #pretendpanel!

I was able to meet my writing goal, which was the first draft of Below Bludeye Beach. I have some other book-related goals that I'm still scrambling through ☺️
#pretendpanel, it's time to check in!

November 28th: It's almost the end of November! How did you go this month? (whether you set a goal, or took part in a challenge, or not!)

Happy #AwesomeCharacters!

As Bludeye Beach is quasi-contemporary, the characters usually have their cell phones with them. There's a few text exchanges, but most of the time they're used as flashlights 😂
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

What is something your character always carries with them?

In a purse, a bag, a secret pouch, a pocket?

Is there something they never travel without? Why?

Hope everyone who's doing Thanksgiving today has a lovely day & no sudden crystal bomb attacks! 😁

Here's a lil snip from the freshly written third book, BELOW BLUDEYE BEACH. Alexandra (and nurses in general) simply deserve more than they get 🙏

Fuck it, it's time, we're doing #WIPSnips again!

Still primarily from Shark Smoocher (now known as The Stars Will Be Our Ocean) until I make some more headway in my other drafts. And for "system," what else could I post but a moment with Dani and Patches?
November 25, 2025 at 3:28 PM
Quillbert again!!! What's this guy up to? And how does he swim so quickly??
What the - Quillbert was just in Pennsylvania, USA. How did he end up on this gorgeous New Zealand beach?!
When we asked, he said he's heard there's some hints about his book-adventure here. Or maybe someone who's making books?

What a lovely little guy! I wonder what he's trying to get up to...this book news must be very interesting indeed 👀
Hello, friends! We came across this fellow, and don't quite know what to make of him. He calls himself Quillbert, and says that he's on a crucial mission to investigate some exciting book news. I'm not entirely sure where he's from, but this news does sound exciting...

Vibes today! It's Mireia & Kena's ordination as the new gods, but unfortunately things aren't going great between the two of them at first... 😢

That's a wrap on the first draft of the third book in the Bludeye series, BELOW BLUDEYE BEACH ❤️❤️
Now to focus on a new, very exciting project, coming out just around the corner...👀👀
