meet this author 🦌🧚🏼‍♀️ ~ in 4 years of this account i’ve never posted an introduction, so this was long overdue!

i don’t enjoy too much sharing bits of me, or my special interests, so i think this barely scratches the surface, but let me know if we share any interests and enjoy the same things! all you need to know about me is my everlasting love for deer and nature 🫀

(i also collect deer bones so if you ever find some in the forest lmk!)

much much love x

A bit of a longer video but I bet you didn’t know the whole story of Amor et Psyche 🪽

my favourite myth ever!

interesting fact: Roman poet Apuleius is native of Numidia, an Algerian province of the Roman Empire. He was also an initiate in several mystery cults which is fascinating! His book Metamorphoses is a big love letter to the goddess Isis 🩷 (2nd century AD gets new mediterranean syncretism with Roman religion) by @authorchiaragala

one very productive weekend 🌟

i’ve probably never even tried to write 2 different WIPs at the same time, (i have to completely switch my mood to go from tarot gothic to legendary lovers) , so all 6300 words are from the same project here, including one scene filled with yearning and gore 🗡️

highlights: frozen yogurt, ravens, and my homemade pizza taken in London, United Kingdom by @authorchiaragala

I am so thrilled to announce I’ve signed with the incredible @kelseyevanswrites at @julyfirstliterary 🫀

I’m feeling so blessed. Since our first call, I just knew that Kelsey’s fierce passion and loyalty were one of a kind 😭 I was looking for an agent that would completely steal my heart, as that’s the whole premise of my novel (i’m so funny), and I couldn’t be happier (that my heart was stolen) (and that THREE OF SWORDS found such a special agent!)

I can’t wait to work on ALL MY MANY NEXT PROJECTS together. Also, at @julyfirstliterary ?? Pinch me! 😭

Now swipe to see mini C, because it’s both me and her who are getting closer and closer to our biggest dream ever 🧚🏼‍♀️

a day in my life 💭 in a lovely sunny London
not pictured: the whole hour it took me to edit this 💆🏼‍♀️

so yes, my day is a mix of self care, working, writing, working out, walking/biking everywhere, and living my dream life by making every day a dream day 🩷 by @authorchiaragala
