LET THEM *BE* CAKE 🍰
Under a fascist empire led by a queen whose touch can turn bodies into sugar, a grieving royal translator finds solace in outlawed books. But when caught, she must escape and lead the revolution inspired by her defiance, or face being turned into royal dessert.

Locke Lamora X ODW
To save her sick sister, visually-impaired thief Nefeli agrees to a treasure hunt for a lost relic. As her sight declines with each use of magic, she must outwit dragons, powerful magic, and—worst of all—politicians before her world goes dark for good.

Hide her abilities. Escape the war.
After her erratic magic leads to murder, conscripted mage Astraea is captured by an enigmatic enemy who understands her power better than she does. If she can’t escape, she’ll become a weapon of the queendom responsible for her father’s death.

Conscripted spirit mage Astraea just wants to escape the battlefield that took her father’s life—but her magic could be the key to solving mysterious deaths on the warfront, and an enigmatic enemy is the only person who can help her understand her growing power.

Locke Lamora X One Dark Window
Nefeli's a thief who'd agree to anything to save her sick sister—even a treasure hunt in a dragon-riddled palace. Her sight declines with each use of magic, so she must con everyone (and avoid her ex) to find the relic before her world goes dark.

To save her sick sister, a visually-impaired thief agrees to a lucrative treasure-hunting con amidst magic, dragons and—even worse—politicians. If only her smooth-talking former fling wasn't around and able to blow her cover at any moment.

Captured, Astraea would rather die than ally with the country who killed her father. But when desiccated bodies burned with an ancient rune litter the warfront, her magic might be the key to finding out why. If only her enemy wasn’t the sole person who understood her magic.

Hide a murder. Conceal her erratic magic. Escape the gods-damned war. Conscripted mage Astraea has things under control—until captured by an enemy who understands her power better than her. She’s nobody’s pawn, but if she doesn’t escape she might become her enemy’s newest weapon. #DVpit #A #F #DIS

#DVParty Astraea is angry. She's angry at her father for dying. She's angry at her mother for mentally crumbling after. She's angry at the crown for conscripting her. And she's *especially* angry that her magic won't fall into line and do what she says. Keeping others at a distance keeps her safe.
DAY 2 of #DVParty, a community event to celebrate work of Diverse Creators leading up to our pitch event, #DVPit on Oct. 8th, 2025! All diverse writer/artist can participate!

#DVParty Nefeli is a devoted sister and street-rat-turned-thief who has the ability to sense/find magical objects. It's made her an excellent thief...but at a cost. With every use of her power, her vision declines even more. And what use is a thief who can't see what she's trying to steal?

#SFFchat The creep factor is something I love incorporating to build tension. What might happen next? What's around the corner? Who is watching from the shadows (or even worse, broad daylight and yet nobody is around)
#SFFChat Q1: What role does horror play in SFF? (or replace "horror" with fear, spookiness, or another similar thing!)

I am absolutely phobic of c*ckroaches following an experience where I was required to be in a location where hundreds upon thousands of them poured from the cracks in the walls, light fixtures, up from the floors, then started dying and dropping like demonic rain. So yeah. I'm, ah, phobic.
#SFFChat Intro: Introduce yourself and share a fear you have! Could be a traditional fear such as a phobia, or maybe it's a writing-related fear.
