And for the last day of #DVparty let me introduce the next manuscript I plan to edit and query/publish! LOVE LANGUAGE OF THE SEA is about two men who ultimately don't think they deserve the kind of love they're about to get, and work on how to accept it. It's set half in Mexico and half in France.

And finally, have a small playlist for HEARTS OF STONE! It's very rare for me to match songs to a book but this was an easy one as it fits a lot of emotional music I love.
Any favourite songs in there?

I always struggle finding memes to represent my book because I rarely think in those terms, but this sums up the central conflict quite well... (spoiler: they did)

DUSTY BOOKSHOP intro! Niall can't catch a break and it's only the beginning...

First lines! I'm quite proud of this intro, the first few chapters of this book show the MCs childhood before their lives fall apart and they reunite after 10 years and much tension. The very first chapter might be the softest of the book before things take a turn...

Time to drop some identities! This book is from the pov of Niall, who is a mostly chill guy except for touchy family matters, and his budding romance with Kris... But this is still very much a cosy book so the angst will always be short-lived.

Today let me introduce you to the main characters of Hearts of Stone. This book has 4 different povs but Beryl and Aljaze are the main ones and I hope you'll like them!

#DVparty time to introduce my 2nd manuscript, called THE DUSTY BOOKSHOP AND ITS SAD BUT SEXY OWNER. This one is a cute MM romance that touches on some mental health issues but without getting too dark, and soothing it all with cake and found family.

#DVparty let's go! It's Day 1 and I'm introducing my first manuscript with a moodboard. This one is called HEARTS OF STONE and is a gaslamp fantasy with an undertone of enemies to lovers...

First of all those 2 are both GREAT and I'm sorry they are not getting the attention they deserve! Mine would have to be MOTHERLY STONES, which has a lot of creepy vibes, some delicious spice and childhood friends to lovers!

REMINDER: BI IS QUEER. It's LGBTQ+ not LGT (or even LG if you believe some).

As a queer, bi+author myself, it's heartbreaking to see my efforts to bring representation to the page ignored. CONTINUED IN COMMENTS
