I'm sure your partner couldn't agree more 😅 I know you already had one, but I'm not sure if this is baby number 2 or 3... either way, siblings are so much fun! You're in for a wild ride 💞

Fantastic! I'm a long ways off from querying my NA novel (not Romanian, ha). If I can help give your query an extra pair of eyes or anything, let me know!
Do you have any other projects planned to distract yourself with while in the trenches?

I also write as an A.M., so this feels a lot like kismet!
I have two Romanian stories under my belt, and am writing a YA Folk Horror inspired by Romanian culture as we speak!
How is yours going?!

That's what I was thinking but didn't want to guess. Love it! Love seeing the name used. It's one of my favorites 🥰

It's short for Teodor! The Romanian version of Theodore, as I imagine yours is for another language?

Ok, I love this for many reasons, but also I've never seen the name Teo used in popular media and it's my grandpa's name and I love it, so thank you for sharing for that alone 🥹

Okay! #ijustwrote I wrote this during the afternoon. It’s rough and messy and will no doubt be cut down to half its length (or maybe cut altogether). It’s from the third book in The Métier Quartet, called MANIFESTO.

Perhaps. If it got to be really popular. A lot more thought would need to go into it, obviously.

Sometimes I'll watch something and wonder how it'd be written for a book scene and would love different author perspectives on it, but maybe that's just me?
