These chaotic brothers are among the cast of COUNT THE THUNDER, a YA fantasy thriller about murder, electromagic, and the lengths you’ll go for the people you love.

Day 4 of #DVParty - COUNT THE THUNDER (a YA fantasy thriller) as a gif or meme.

Since day one, it has been the “instincts bad” Spider-Man panel.

#YA #F #thriller #LGBT
An image of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man suit but without a mask, holding a duffle bag full of cash. In panel one he thinks: Thinkthinkthink. Panicking. Work on instinct. In the second he throws the duffle bag out the window, thinking: instincts bad.

Lost track of bsky for a moment, so I think a reintroduction is in order!

I'm Becca. I'm a writer living in MN, and I'm currently working on a YA fantasy thriller. It's about brothers, PIs, magic, casually queer characters, and vigilante justice.

I'd love to connect with more writers, so say hey!
