It’s only the first day of September, and we’re already logging updates to the book drive book tracker! First up is @ac_gaskill! We met taking @cece_lyra_agent’s #LearnWithCeCe writing courses together, and it’s been awesome to celebrate her writing journey from afar through Instagram! Thanks so much for helping me kick off my @read4unity 40 Books for my 40th Birthday book drive, Andria!

For anyone else who would like to donate, you can Venmo me @quincytrochue or give directly at the link in my bio. $25=4 culturally diverse books for a culturally diverse community.

If you give directly, shoot me a message, so I can thank you and update the book tracker!

What a joy to be together with these fantastic ladies in Chicago — and to learn and grow at the @sfwa_inc Nebula Conference to boot! Absolute magic ✨

Infinite thanks to @biancamarais_author and @the_shit_about_writing for bringing us together through the beta reader match-up. Best $25 I’ve ever spent!

Author update: After a developmental edit (thank you @tulipsinbloomeditorial) and another informative beta read (thank you @andria_gaskill), I’m ready to start moving through the final draft of this story.

My WIP is currently at 50K words, although I’m pumping the brakes a bit so I can finish my debut. I’m still loving drawing and creating character art! I recently made some for two writer friends tagged in the post, give them a follow! Their stories sound super interesting.

Finally, the last pic is what I’m currently reading, and the next one on deck . Go have a look, and thanks for stopping by :) Also let’s play a game called spot the typo 🙄

TWO posts in one day?! Who am I? 😉
2025 was so good. Though I started my novel at the end of 2024, 2025 is the year I felt like I became a writer, and honed in on my dreams of authorship.
I’ll be posting more of my journey in 2026! I would love to hear your 2025 highlights and what you’re looking forward to for 2026!

Working on a #betaread for @celia_writes middle grade novel and @andria_gaskill short story feels like an excellent way to spend #bookloversday!

I’ve met so many lovely and talented writers through #learnwithcece @cece_lyra_agent.

Celia and Andrea, there’s room on my bookshelf waiting for you when these stories make it into the world!

Next Up: Out of the Shadows, Into the Dark by @andria_gaskill 🌻

***Out of the Shadows, Into the Dark follows Kat, an anxious half-elf who learned to hide her magic and her pointed ears to survive childhood bullying in a society that is suspicious of and increasingly hostile toward magic and its wielders. One morning, Kat attempts to speak up for a fellow bus passenger but winds up having to use her magic in public to defend herself from a knife attack. It attracts the attention of the charming but dubious Mac Smith who wants to use her for a job of his but the Archmage, her curmudgeonly boss, refuses on her behalf. After a violent arrest by the increasingly fascist law enforcement, she secretly reconsiders Mac's job offer and agrees to meet his crew of colorful misfits. They want her to sneak into a warehouse and use her magic to destroy a stockpile of illicit drugs. Torn between her desire to live a hidden, quiet life and her love of magic, she must choose between a safe but compromised life and the dangers of being an outsider, all while navigating her past trauma and the newfound panic just looking at a bus causes.

ABOUT: The Femme Audio Takeover (FATO) is a collaborative marketing opportunity between authors who write awesome femme characters and the femme narrators who often bring those characters to life.

The event was born in July 2022 out of the frustration three femme narrator friends @ruthie.narrates.books, @alie.dane.audiobooks, and @paigevoice_official experienced how often femme narrators and characters are often overlooked in favor of their masculine counterparts in bookish spaces.

Held semiannually in January and July, the FATO is an opportunity to celebrate the strength, growth, and power found in femme characters and femme voices.

Authors submit a 200-400 work book excerpt to a participating narrator who then records the narration and shares to the socials!

STAY TUNED today and tomorrow (my birthday 🥳) to see my collaborations with these incredible authors!

Happy belated birthday to little miss Margot too! She is full of sass and I had so much fun photographing her with the family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I totally miss being out photographing. We’re all a little bonkers, especially with the SIP extension, but better safe than sorry, right!? We’ll be back to a new normal eventually, so here’s to the future! What have you got planned when this is all ‘over’? Tell me what you’re looking forward to! .
