#DVparty #A #F 🩹 She's a part-time medic, full-time sneak 🗡️ bound to a sentient necroblade. 🐺 He's supposed to keep magic on the far side of the Boundary, 🖤 but being a conduit for her mana is addictive. ⚔️ He needs her for revenge. 💔 She just wants to be free. 💀 Blood or soul, the blade will feed.

A series of nine images, three rows of three. Upper row: A ghostly shadow in the mist; a hooded young woman glancing over her right shoulder with a determined expression; an astronomical clock brightly-lit by sunlight. Middle row: A masked thief in a dark room stealing a red amulet; a silver dagger with a ruby eye on a black background; a female mage with long hair half-disappearing into blue magic as she sneaks up on a guard in a castle hallway. Bottom row: A glowing blue magical circle containing stars, moons, and runes, set against a black background; a cloaked male warrior on a horse with fire glowing in its cheeks, in a foggy forest; an eerily twisted and leafless tree back-lit by a green-glowing sky.

Answering for the same character, he's very coordinated as an athlete who started out in gymnastics very little, moved to swimming and diving. (That helps more than a little bit when he's fighting off monsters/threats.) bsky.app/profile/blue...

In 🕷️💋 WIP, Aranea is a very good liar, even to herself. She wishes she could just touch anyone without hurting them 😢 Aranea uses her main skill (lying) to fake a romance with a handsome thief she needs to help her get out of an arranged engagement…until the feelings become real ❤️

#BluePitHype #AmQuerying Perry's role model is his deceased father, who was a very compassionate and openly loving person. Perry definitely tries to live in that way of being. Haven doesn't have a role model. He grew up isolated. Living up to his parents' sacrifices is more of a shadow over him.

Hey #BluePitHype! Meet Rivine, my demon-touched bard main character. Her role model is her dad. He went missing, presumed dead, 10 years ago, and her world fell apart. But he taught her kindness, empathy, & steadfastness. To face her fears & stand up to danger. To wield & kill with a rapier.

A woman with blue skin, horns, and a tail. There is a darker blue tattoo wrapped around her arm and shoulder. Her hair is purple. She is wearing a bright pink and dark purple vest, grey trousers, and dark purple boots. She is holding a lute, and has a rapier strapped to her hip. Behind her is a large brown dog (similar to a mastiff) with its tongue sticking out.

Arie’s role model is her father- the assassinated King Gregor. She admired his ability to be fair & just. Riddled with self-doubt, she doesn’t see too much of that in herself. Leese’s role model is herself in 5 years. She’s always looking forward and inside. #BluePitHype #amquerying #YA #F #Q

My main characters’ world DOES end in my novel! They’re sisters, and both act in their own way to save the world, one planned, one impulsive. What’s most important to them is saving each other & returning to each other, even though they’re told it’s impossible. #BluePitHype #amquerying

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
