Artemis Quinn 🏳️‍⚧️🎨📚 Such Sweet Sorrow on Backerkit👻😱

We are 30 days out from #BookBazaar26, launching on @backerkit.com ! On October 29th, Such Sweet Sorrow will bring you on a tug-of-war between sadness and horror. Rebecca Sinclaire will saunter into the in-between this fall when the veil is thin. Follow the campaign and read the first chapter.

Slowly, I came back to the world. It sucked. Zero out of ten, would not recommend

A sneak peek at the gorgeous interior of the new May Day Special Edition, designed by Talli L Morgan. You can sign up now on BackerKit to be notified the moment this project goes live: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/j...

Oh I actually have character answers for #TFTNG, if anyone is interested. But books as a whole: Lemon Balm - petrichor, roses, coffee, and citrus Aloe - campfire, cinnamon, apples, decaying leaves #s3 - coffee, graveyard dirt, old books #YP - sea salt, blood, fresh laundry

#Octember: Acanthus and Cypress from #TFTNG are stuffed animals. Rebecca from #s3 is a paint-by-number. Phoebe from #YP is one of those loud noisemaker game types with a lot of chaos and overstimulation.

The veil is growing thinner, and spirits are growing stronger. Threes are important in both folklore and witchcraft. It feels like a good time to grab a haunted house thriller. Such Sweet Sorrow's campaign starts in three days! #BookBazaar26 #AQPromo #s3 #BuyIndie

#QueerPrompts I don't have a lot of youth in my stories honestly, in general. I do have some trans, genderfluid, nonbinary, and intersex characters, but not youths. I write a lot of adult themes, and I don't like placing children in adult boxes. Let kids have lighthearted lives.

#LGBTQWriteAThon It's goals day! Most important: ⚰️Fulfill Aloe Campaign (paperbacks will be here today, hardcovers Wednesday) ⚰️Finish art commissions (All 3!) ⚰️Start pile of Such Sweet Sorrow drawings ⚰️Newsletter

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober | 26 This is the plot of Lemon Balm 😂 In #S3, Rebeccca would find the logical explanation and try to drag herself through it with fact.

#LitHodgePodge #TFTNG Acanthus: "I can't; only hide truth to protect others." Cypress: "I mean, who doesn't now & then? I don't want to upset my friends with The Horrors." #S3 - Rebecca: "Lying is fucking stupid. Never, if I can help it." #YP - Phoebe: (eyebrow quirk.) "Darling, I'm a pirate."

#TFTNG Lemon Balm: Vampires, witches, and werewolves, oh my! Aloe: friends decide to stop running. Lavender: Fuck, dad's back. #S3 - Grief's a strange and powerful thing. #YP - vampire pirate captain loves her navigator.

#TBBCountdown I think possibly an art coin? I haven't gotten anything super unique that I can remember. (I have the memory of a goldfish though)

Hello, there! Guess what? 👀 #BookBazaar26 put together a sample pack featuring over 24 books from its catalog, and REMNANT is one of them! So, if you've been wondering what the story is all about, here's your chance for a little sneak peek. You know... if you're curious 📚💙 #SciFi #IndieAuthor

Share 3 random books from your collection. #BookSky

#FangOut The first time that Acanthus feeds from Cypress (a werewolf) in Aloe, they're paranoid that he's poisonous to them. They're actively going against societal knowhow, testing it. #TFTNG #AQWrites

#LitHodgePodge how many POV characters is too many?

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober | 25 No costumes in any of my WIPs right now.

#QueerPrompts Two-for-one here today! Some portraits I drew of my MCs from #TFTNG, and their pride flags! Both are ace spec. (I drew both portraits) #AQArts #AQWrites

#AwesomeCharacters - the absolute worst antagonist I can think of for this would be François from #TFTNG. He's charming and suave, but he's a manipulator, and very opinionated and proud. The worst kind of person to be around is someone who is looking to use you from the first hello.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Terror is not mentioned in this one, but the vibes are here, so have this snippet from Such Sweet Sorrow! ( #s3 launches on Backerkit as part of #BookBazaar26 in four days, FYI 👀)

Missed this yesterday! #TBBCountdown Such Sweet Sorrow is this vibe -- ornate. Liminal. Dark. Old. Cold, but a speck of light coming in.

Take a look at this! 👀 #Promo

Hey, any friends writing NSFW? I Don't write it often, but I've got a sapphic paranormal romance coming out November 16th as part of the Rainbow Lights and Winter Nights anthology. a.co/d/0gw0HBB5 #promo #AQPromo

Something I wish more people would realize.

Jeb's already read mine, but do I know anyone that has nonbinary MCs to throw Jeb's way?

#TBBChat The book bazaar releases in 5 days! Check out my haunted house thriller, Such Sweet Sorrow. If you follow the campaign, you can read the first chapter for free. ♡ #BookBazaar26 #AQPromo

#TBBChat I absolutely think Rebecca would become a ghost. She has so much that she wants to do.

#TBBChat Rebecca says she's not, but she's terrified until she can find a logical explanation to not believe in the ghost. She's afraid of being alone, of rabid animals, and of missing deadlines. She's doubly afraid of seeming incompetent or weak.

#TBBChat In #s3, Elena actually convinces Rebecca to use an ouija board, but expressly says not to bring up her parents. She's trying to figure out what is going on in her house more than anything, but she's a skeptic.

#TBBChat oh boy is there! Ghosts, poltergeists, shadow people.... if there's an actual afterlife, no one knows, but there are absolutely spirits.

#TBBChat I'm late! Hello! I'm Artemis Quinn, and I write horror, dark fantasy, and the odd paranormal romance. Right now I'm editing Such Sweet Sorrow, a grief thriller, and celebrating the release of my 2nd novel in the TFTNG series, Aloe. S3 launches with TBB in 5 days!

#BookBazaar26 drops in 5 days! If you love my sad, overwhelmed supernaturals in TFTNG, check out the #s3 campaign for my sad, overwhelmed disaster bi trying her best to battle migraines, mediation with her aunt in court, and shadow people in her house. #AQPromo #BuyIndie #IndieAuthor

#PretendPanel (catching up)

#QueerPrompts Good question! #TFTNG - Acanthus - 8/10 (too many powers, anger makes them cold, revenge streak... Scary.) Cypress - 4/10 (cinnamon roll that can shapeshift.) Azalea - 5/10 (terrifying when angry.) Austin - 7/10 (tall. grumpy. intimidating.) #S3 - Rebecca - 2/10 #YP - Phoebe - 4/10

#QueerPrompts (Catching up!) The House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher Never Whistle At Night anthology Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle

#LGBTQWriteAThon It has been a hell of a week, to be simple about it. But, I got through everything on my list except for my website and fulfilling orders for backers. (Books got delayed.) Book launch party today for Aloe!!! Wish me luck.

#LGBTQWriteAThon - (catching up) Rebecca's most embarrassing memory is probably when she cried in the middle of class in 4th grade because she dropped her lunch and it spilled everywhere. #s3
