@evacharya I think I might have beat you to it  xD  Been scouting the rest of your profile already, haha! I'm not picky about the subgenre; if the quality's good, I collect it and let readers decide. *Deploys drone to make off with more books*

That is awesome! I know, finding rep in spec is so difficult. Probably why we’re all out here trying to write something to fit. If you’re looking for more sci-fi with rep, may I also suggest VIRULENT. Not sure is pandemic apocalypse is something you’d like to collect.

@yaris052018 Hi Suriya! Glad I got the classification right; your cover and tags certainly give the right vibes. Best of luck in the ONC!

❖ “Exie’s fists have knotted in his nightshirt, pinning him to the wall. He tries to push her off, but he’s uncoordinated, like he’s not all here yet. There’s a day-shirt slung over the edge of his bed. I probe its pockets and come up with the paper dove.” ❖
          
          Hello friends! We are down to this book’s second-last chapter. This week in The Book of Miranda, Des and Exie infiltrate a house one of them is intimately familiar with, in search of a person they’re definitely not here to kidna—AHEM politely invite along with them.

          ❖ In case you missed it, my ONC novella Flickering Creatures was marked complete this morning! It’s a short read, for anyone looking for a bit of witchy Dark Fantasy to spruce up their day.

          ❖ Fun fact of the day: In polar regions of the world, the sun doesn’t rise in winter. It doesn’t set in summer, either—just migrates in an endless circle round and round the sky.

❖ “I get a solemn oath from each of them, for show, then turn to face the students gathered on the slope behind me. All look suitably harrowed. At least one good liar has a survival story I’d trust to fool authorities. There are perks to having delinquent friends.” ❖
          
          Hello friends! There are TWO CHAPTERS LEFT in The Book of Miranda after today. This week, the squad is conspiring, and there’s a whole lot more than two of them now.

          ❖ Fun fact of the day: Fossil fuels have been a help to humanity for a lot longer than the industrial revolution. One use for them was pitch, a sticky substance used to waterproof ships, among other things. It was often made of bitumen.

Hiya, friends. So, I'm slowly breaking up with Wattpad. There's too much to explain in a single announcement, so you can read the full version (and find out how to keep following me and my books) in this post here:

          It hurts to say this, but it's been a long time coming. I'm taking the next step forward, and inviting you along with me, if you're willing to come  ♡
