A volleyball and a large blue die are in the background. Release date: September 15, 2026. Pre-order details on inkeingraypress.com. Includes an asexual pride flag."

Alt text: "A book pitch on a textured background features a volleyball and a D20 dice. One side reads: When Riley's spot on the volleyball team is threatened due to academic ineligibility, she’ll do anything to save her grades. So when she finds out about the gaming club run by the smart kid in her math class, she joins without a second thought in order to convince him to tutor her. The problem? She sort of told him she loves the game he plays. And she's never rolled a single D20 in her life. But hey, it's just a game. How hard can it be?. The other side lists themes like slow burn romance and role-playing games."

Excerpt “Who are you?” she asks. “My name is Melody, I’m Lyra’s younger sister,” I say. “You two are identical.” I wish I could ask Lyra if she’s okay with Annie knowing everything. Better yet, I wish I could make her explain it. Her girlfriend, her problem. But I’m here alone, Annie is the one who saw Lyra last, and I want any information she can give me. It’s not like I could pretend I’m Lyra and ask why she ran out last night. I kind of need to tell her. I’ve never had to explain us. I don’t know where to start. It’ll be easier since she can already sense Lyra and I are different people. Somehow. But it’s still going to sound insane to a normal person. “I’m six years younger than Lyra. She died when we were kids, and I… I don’t know what I did but I saved her soul. I kept it.” I press my hand against my chest, careful to avoid the burn. “We’ve shared this body—my body—for over twenty years.”

THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS X AND NOW, BACK TO YOU #Questpit, welcome to BREAKING THE BLUEPRINT, an 84k word contemporary romance. Rival Architects on the verge of burnout exploit a company policy to work remotely across the country together, putting their rocky foundation to the test. #Q #R #A

This picture is a mood board for the romance book, “Breaking the Blueprint.” The general vibe is enemies to lovers with elements of the NYC architecture industry culture and shifts to the small town feel of Colorado mountains. The main character is a redhead woman with freckles and brown eyes and the main love interest is a brunette man with blue eyes. The images show them getting close through dancing in the kitchen at night, playing in the snow together, and nights out on the town.

What if medicine was illegal and you learned you had the power to heal? HEIRS OF BALANCE ANDOR x NAUSICAÄ 🌱Post-apocalypse hopepunk 🤐 Family secrets 🧬 Science-based magic ❤️‍🔥 Slow-burn romance 🥹 Found family REP: 🧠 ND 🤎 BIPOC and 🌈 LGBTQ+ characters #QuestPit #Q #SFF #RF #WritingCommunity

Heirs of Balance by Lesley Parry - Adult Science Fantasy, 90,000 words. ANDOR meets NAUSICAÄ where healing is heresy and compassion sparks rebellion. @lesleyparrybooks #Q #SFF #RF

What if medicine was illegal...and you had the power to heal? Includes images of a group of houses in a meadow, surrounded by forest and wind turbines, a mortar and pestle with ground herbs, a pair of glowing hands, and an eco-futuristic castle with glass dome towers.

In a post-collapse world where medicine is illegal and even touching the sick is forbidden, Mira Elders risks her life every time she secretly treats the ill with contraband herbs. But when she lays hands on a dying boy in public and magically heals him, secrecy is no longer possible. Her gift should be a miracle. Instead, it marks her for execution.

To survive, Mira flees her village and enlists in the very regime that hunts people like her. As the Median regime tightens its grip through a project that harvests health from prisoners to extend the lives of the elite, a new crackdown on healers looms. But when Mira learns that medicine played a role in causing the Collapse, even rebellion stops looking simple. To join the fight, she will have to wield the very power her world was built to fear—and risk proving the regime right.

If you liked THE SURVIVING SKY by Kritika H. Rao (eco-magic + rebellion), THE GRACE YEAR by Kim Liggett (oppression + survival stakes), SOME DESPERATE GLORY by Emily Tesh (authoritarian control + messy awakening)
