Hi #writingcommunity! I'm KT and I write YA & adult queer spec fic. I'm a lab manager and naturalist, so my books are rife with weird facts and cool environments. My WIP is a horromance about rival drum majors working together to solve a slew of murders in their college town
ALT Me, a short white woman with brown shoulder-length wavy hair wearing a blue and white floral romper, leaning against a tree with yellow fall leaves (I think it's a tulip poplar but kind of hard to tell at this angle)
ALT A moodboard containing: Waffle House, a piano, a drum major with a feathery plume, a half-visible figure in the woods at night, a row of brass instruments in the grass, an orb weaver spider, a tall waterfall, fire ants, a cave, gothic architecture, a marching band on a football field, a girl riding a bike on a rural road, a black flower on a sheet music book, and an old mine entrance in a forest.

ALT A grayscale moodboard including: waterlogged cypress trees with large buttresses, a grand staircase, an alligator in the water, a shelf full of old books, a raft made of logs, a turtle on a log, arms reaching toward the light, a Roman numeral clock face, and a branch of cypress leaves over the water in green and orange.
ALT White text on a grayscale photo of waterlogged cypress trees, reading: Glenn Erskine has served the Bishop family his whole life, following them from their mansion a rock’s throw from the Thames to the dreary swamps of south Georgia. What the Bishops didn’t count on was the new environment being hard on their teenage son Henley’s asthma, leaving him bereft and mostly bedridden. When Henley suffers a grave attack and the swamp witch Laria appears, offering to take Glenn to the heart of the swamp to find a cure for Henley, Glenn jumps at the opportunity to save not just his young master, but his dear friend. However, the heart of the swamp is not easily swayed, and Glenn must grapple with the fact that the reality imposing itself upon him is not the one he thought he lived in.
All 2024 profit from our charity horror anthology, SKIN, will be going to a skin cancer charity.
We've currently raised about £200.

I started drafting a lil something new today. Don't think I'll say anything else about it until I'm at least 10k in, but here have a lil moodboard 👀
ALT A moodboard consisting of cypress trees in the water, a grand staircase, an alligator in the water, a shelf with old books, a branch dangling over swampy water, a raft made from trees floating in water, a turtle on a log, hands reaching upward, and a grandfather clock face. Everything is in black and white except for some leaves in the center, turning from green to orange.
