👉 Adult suspense, thriller, or horror with unrelenting tension.
👉 Dark, intense stories with twists that leave me breathless.
👉 Genre-blending romance, especially horror romance. Anything that pushes the boundaries of romance while keeping the emotional core intact. (2/4)

…and (even with the QM shutdown) I’m hoping to get back to everyone by the end of the year. So, if you haven’t heard from me yet, thank you for your patience!

As for 2025, here’s an updated #MSWL of what I’d love to see in the inbox. Looking forward to some exciting projects next year!

briar makes her home in a forest of which stories are told of the bloodthirsty monster/vampire who haunts the woods from river to treeline...

no human sacrifices, just a doctor who thinks creating a lil shrine and leaving blood transfer bags is a good idea. doctor/briar romance, maybe? #mswl

As I’m thinking about my #MSWL for when I reopen, I really want some unhinged romance. Like Horror Romance or something with a vigilante “take down the patriarchy” vibe. Maybe a psychological suspense romance, though I’m not sure what that looks like. Maybe something dark or why choose.

looking ahead to my holiday reading, here’s a quick #mswl :

- family dramas with a romantic subplot (non-xmas the family stone!)
- lit fic that explores sexuality, relationships (give me a bisexual protagonist pls!)
- romantic thriller, romantic sci fi
- genre mash ups!!

Literary / commercial-literary horror - see above…

Graphic novels across the market, but see 🧵 for general themes that I’m interested in.

Literary / commercial-literary romance. Especially if bi / pan / queer. I’m looking for both something sweeping & epic, & something more contemporary.

Would love to see something similar to Beetlejuice and Netflix Wednesday and Dead Boy Detectives.

Whimsy and preferably with a group of friends and light romance. #MSWL
