Hester spends her whole life in the dark…until her flatter half pays her a visit in SHADOWSCAPE. I'm excited to share more about her for day 2 of #DVparty tomorrow! All photos mine, featuring a cameo from my own shadow in the bottom center! 👤 #YA Futuristic #F #LGBT #SFF #Querying

Happy #DVparty, everyone! This futuristic fantasy #moodboard is inspired by Vespertine, who finds love in an unusual place (i.e. a post-apocalyptic orchard in a solarpunk world constructed entirely from glass). All photos mine, and some were even taken at places in the book! Can you guess which?

Futuristic fantasy vibes, anyone? (All photos mine, culled from the 257,619 waiting to be sorted on my phone 🙈) #Moodboard #DVparty

THE HOST but make it #LGBT Camping in a post-apocalyptic orchard? No one's that desperate for a boyfriend...except Vespertine's flatbrained shadow 🤦‍♂️ Good thing there's a grumpy rebel out there who thinks Vess is too handsome to leave for dead—not that he'll admit it #YA Futuristic #F #SFF #predv

SEVERANCE x THE DIVIDING SKY Vespertine’s body belongs to his ditzy shadow by day…until said flatbrained shadow plans a romantic getaway in a nuclear wasteland. A grumpy rebel with a cause could get them home—if Vess joins his plot to separate humans & shadows forever. #YA #F #LGBT #SFF #preDV 🏳️‍🌈

THE HOST x ❤️ 🤍 & Royal 💙 When Vespertine’s impulsive shadow strands the two of them in a nuclear disaster area (after an equally disastrous romantic getaway), they must disarm & charm a grumpy rebel with a cause to survive a second apocalypse…and each other. #YA Futuristic #F #SF #LGBT #SFF #preDV

SEVERANCE x THE HOST x 🏳️‍🌈 🌃By night, Hester's body is her own. 🌅By day, it belongs to her shadow. When the shadows-that-be decide to possess their humans 24/7, Hester cons her flatter half to find her shadow-napped brother before humans are left in the dark forever. #YA Dystopian #F #LGBT #predv

Hester's Yesternight To Do List: 🍑 Complete booty boot camp routine as per shadow's request 🗺️ Nudge BFF into boyfriend territory 🔽 Pick career from a drop down menu 🌗 Misuse database to find her shadow-napped brother 👤 Meet her flatter half??? 😵‍💫 #YA Dystopian Fantasy #F #LGBT #SFF #predv

SEVERANCE x THE DIVIDING SKY In a future where humans live “freely” at night while their shadows possess their bodies by day, tragically competent Hester cons her flatter half to find her shadow-napped brother before humans are left in the dark forever. #YA Futuristic #F #LGBT #SFF #preDV

SEVERANCE x THE DIVIDING SKY By night, Hester's body is her own. By day, it belongs to her shadow. When the shadows-that-be decide to possess their humans 24/7, Hester cons her flatter half to find her shadow-napped brother before it's lights out for humans. #YA Futuristic #F #LGBT #SFF #preDV

Up next is either a #YA #F fairytale retelling blending the 12 🩰👸 with ATU 451, or an upper #MG #HF set in the shadow of the Akron rubber strikes & featuring Victor Lustig's infamous prison escape. Both fully outlined…it’s a tossup! Which do you want to see first? #HypeYourNextProject #DVparty

All of my fav futuristic #f vibes are in “Found Her,” made by @queenofgoldfish.bsky.social for LORE OLYMPUS. I think of the mag lev travel in my book every time I hear it! (which is a lot, lol. Love ep. 128!) #DVparty Day 5: #ThemeSong #YA #LGBT #SFF #Querying open.spotify.com/track/5njZj4...

#DVparty Day 4: #YourStoryAsAGIF Some worlds are meant to be shattered. #YA Futuristic #F #LGBT #SFF #Querying SHADOWSCAPE

The blazer Hester had washed & ironed yesternight had vanished. Hester cursed herself, and her flatbrain of a shadow, but mostly herself. (And just for fun, you can find the opening from Hester's brother’s first POV chapter below!) #OpeningLines #DVparty #YA Futuristic #F #LGBT #SFF #Querying

Hester, a tragically competent sixteen-year-old, has cast her future. She’ll do booty boot camp routines at her shadow’s request, flirt with her best friend, and use her new job’s topographical databases off-label to find her shadow-napped brother, Vespertine. #IntroduceYourMC #DVparty #YA #SFF
