MC's review their own book: Hanza of 'Stolen Respite': I did not freak out that much, but five stars, would read the ending again. Andraia of 'The Turning': I could do without the beginning, and parts at the end. But the main character was really cool, would love to see in a detective book.

Some people, late at night and with a few too many sips, will shop and buy things they don't need. My equivalent to that is getting on my library account and signing up for too many movies.

WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, ship's cook Tai is stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QueerPit #A #Q #R #SF

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 110,000 words "Did you hear? There's a human on board." A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling. alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)PITCH: Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist. Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway? That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no. PRIORITIES: make dinner remain cozy haul cargo go for drinks pull off one last score try not to fall in loveFIRST PAGE: “Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.” I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity. “Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.” “Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table. It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best. The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let themcome here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”COMPS: Murderbot by Martha Wells Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers TROPES: Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm lying to themselves non-human perspective (afraid of humans) neurodivergent main characters metaphorically disabled protagonist slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship disabilitynorm and queernorm setting found family lovable pet/terrifying monster

UMBRELLA ACADEMY x DON’T LET THE FOREST IN Notorious rockstar/bisexual disaster, Aster makes a habit of dying… a lot.The demon he sold his soul to for fame & fortune might have his answers as to why, but crashing her artists retreat to find them will shatter his every belief. #QueerPit #A #H #DF

ONLY MOSTLY DEVASTATED x HALLMARK You can take the boy out of New York...but while he’s stuck in rural PA, 16 y/o Colby will do anything to keep his Broadway dreams alive. That is, if he’s not too distracted by the cute boy from the Christmas tree farm. #queerpit #YA #RC
