Listens & repeats things in her own words. Creates worlds & loses pens. Mom/Writer with 2E AuDHD, Endo, PCOS, POTS, HSD, cPTSD, Asthma, PIDD, & few 🥄s https://linktr.ee/pounceswithwolves I DO NOT use gen-AI. But I also don’t judge those who do.

When your brain keeps slipping into a different tense when writing a draft? You are writing in the wrong tense. Don’t push another 20k hoping it’s a fluke—your brain will eventually boycott writing in its entirety until you concede. [grumbles to self as she goes off to fix the whole stupid draft]

A failed job hunt trips Lana into a mirror reality brimming with fractile forests inhabited by the fae. To stay alive she must enlist the help of a wisecrack pothead who knows magic. If only he wasn't banished from the secret city that holds the key to her returning home. #PosterPit #W #NA #F

A group of three people fall from the sky with the title--Lyric Fiction--scrawling along the left side. The woman, her skin a medium brown and hair done up in elegant curls down to her shoulders, sports a green skirt and cream shirt, her expression a look of shock as she falls. Beside her is the look of a real *sshole, his grin plastered from ear to pale ear, and his hair a bright orange. He's wearing a white collar shirt rolled at the elbows, a black vest, and jeans, and he's lighting some irresponsible things as he falls. All the way at the top of a man of matching complexion to the woman, donned in a smart purple ensemble. They are surrounded by iridescent sparkles as they fall, produced by a cat who's out of focus. A book falls beside them, open to a page as it glows a bright red.

A collage-style promotional graphic for Blood Cursed & Book Bound. The title appears in large purple serif text at the top, with “WIP by Cayse M. Harum-Shultz” in teal beneath it. Black-and-white cutout photos of multiple young adults—men and women with varied styles and expressions—are arranged around the edges, with two color portraits anchoring the bottom corners. Over the center, highlighted strips of color display the tagline: “They were fated to save the world.” and “She cursed him instead.” Smaller text lists genre elements: “NA ‘cozy’ romantasy,” “fae Cold War,” “forced proximity,” and “fake dating.” At the bottom, a paragraph-length pitch summarizes the story about two former fated mates turned blood-cursed enemies who must work together as interns correcting tampered spellbooks while uncovering a plot to reignite a Cold War.

A dark fantasy book poster showing a luminous yellow rose partially consumed by shadow, representing the battle between light and darkness. 

The title Born of Light, Cursed by Darkness spans the image, with the tagline “Magic lives in your color, when it fades, so do you.” 

Additional text highlights themes like found family, mental resilience, and a romance where he falls first.

Behind the image: I took a picture of a single yellow rose, using my Iphone on the studio setting. I used my black snack container, lol, to prop the rose up. Snapped the picture and uplaoded it to add the text and elements :)
