Romantic, steamy adult fantasy romances. Deals of convenience, betrayal, political intrigue, dueling families, rivals to lovers to enemies, immortals w/longstanding wars and deep histories. Ballroom dances that end with a dagger to the throat. Rich world building & magic systems

I’d also love some darker speculative work. Murder, magic, gothic, dark academia, occult conspiracies, races against the clock and morally grey heroes. Across all ages I want the dark and twisted

For the first time, I’m opening up to romance in the adult space, particularly contemporary stories that have a lot of layers, have a great backdrop, and an ensemble cast. I’ll be pretty picky here, but here are a few of my faves from the last year 🤍

#MSWL I'm a sucker for a book about a house. There's something here with this witch window thing (also known as coffin windows). Hello!

Happy October! I'd planned to open to unsolicited queries as of 10/1/22, but September was a wild month. Mercury was definitely in retrograde - even for skeptics. 😉

Thinking about my #MSWL & hoping to reopen soon. Got a QM link for solicited queries? Go for it! 😊

still waiting on a book that provides interesting cultural history and criticism on fragrance, beauty, poison, and psychedelics/plant medicine~~~

i also love narrative nonfiction that blends personal experience with investigative reporting or cultural criticism—Gabriela Wiener, Jenny Odell, Hanif Abdurraqib, and Rebecca Solnit are all favorites—and i'd love to see more food writing like THE WAY WE EAT NOW

mysteries, thrillers, and revenge stories that are cozy (think ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING), hard femme (think DO REVENGE), or twisty and murderous (think KNIVES OUT)

contemporary retellings of non-Western folklore have been on my wish list for a while now, but i'd also like to see BIPOC- and queer-led reinventions of ~the classics~ like @NghiVoWriting's THE CHOSEN AND THE BEAUTIFUL

queer, feminist, and non-Western horror with subtle social commentary and an atmosphere that fills me with a sense of creeping dread and makes me throw your book across the room while my heart pounds dramatically
