Hello from Prague! Unfortunately, my Czech language isn't strong enough for reading. :(

YA fantasy, though I used to write more contemporary YA. My current WIP is part of a portal series, so it's a bit of a mashup: YA fantasy with contemporary, portal, and cozy bits. (This is why it's been a total nightmare to find comps!)

I'm basically QueryTracker's bitch, these days. It's demoralizing.

I get distracted by lyrics, so I listen to a lot of Cocteau Twins (no idea what they're saying 🤣). Very Mooooooody. OR I listen to those weird youtube vids of witchy/druid/fairie music for hours on end.

I'm so with you. I've had several days like that, recently. I think what gets me down the most is seeing how lovely and normal the agents are in videos, etc. And then they still reject my book. Brutal.

No joke, I think it's going to come to that. :(

How much do you think your previous year's pick would affect your pick this year? (Writing about teenaged witches... I have to ask!😉)

Do you enjoy editing fantasy, being it’s also your own genre?

My cats are lovable criminals too. One demands to be fed by slowly knocking each item on my desk onto the floor. He waits patiently and prettily in between drops. He always wins.

I have a dual POV YA contemporary fantasy. Sometimes, a character *demands* a POV!

One of my main characters - Rowan- is much like this criminal, but is iffy on the regret part (and the innocent part!).

Thanks! It turns out I couldn't access it due to my location (Eu). Bianca reached out and it's sorted now. :)

I love this book so much. I really had trouble choosing a Pratchett book to post. In the end I went with Wyrd Sisters only because it was the first one I fell in love with. But Sam Vimes is my MAN! Ask my cat; he's named after him.

She dipped the blade into the deep bowl, which was full of luminescent blue liquid. “Let us begin.”
