My friends, I'm not gonna lie.

I really love the way a story feels when it's been sitting in my head, marinating for a week or two, before coming out onto the page.

Oh I can’t WAIT for that one. 🙏

I have a story in this, all about General Jinjur!

They need to lie down, clearly a drunk bot. Respond by writing in revenge 👌

Bloody hell. The internet needs to stop being weird in your direction!!

Here it is! The cover reveal for Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz, co-edited by me and @erniechiara.com, with art by magnificent @ericshanower.bsky.social!

Alternate titles for this trilogy now include:

- Book 1 Apollo: Learning to Love Your F*ckboy 🙈
- Book 2 Why Did You Not Just Listen to Oenone? 🙃
- Book 3 Helen and Menelaus' Bogus Journey 🌍

Mood board reads Troy & Sparta. it's split into three parts with Apollo on the left, Helen in the middle and Oenone on the right. Apollo is a blonde curly haired god in dappled sunlight, draped in pearls. Helen is a blonde woman in partial shadow looking up towards an uncaring sky. Oenone is a dark haired nymph of colour surrounded by greenery and submerged in water.

I won't make this too long winded but suffice to say I'm excited!

I now have a trilogy, the first part newly completed. It starts from the wall of Troy being built and ends with Paris' arrival in Sparta. This is no longer #Helen but #TroyandSparta

And I think that deserves its own moodboard.

There are commentaries to be made on power between immortals such as gods and nymphs and then again against mortals.

Apollo can denigrate Hermes' mother *only* being a nymph, while Helen laments that Penelope's mother is an immortal nymph so why is *she* singled out over having divine parentage?

Oenone and Helen giving birth to their first borns run on parallel lines, just as Eros cursing Apollo into love of Daphne runs parallel with his mother, Aphrodite, cursing Helen into love of Paris.

Apollo is at the wedding of Thetis & Peleus, which leads to the Judgement of Paris which leads to...

This is all part of the same story.

Apollo's building the wall around Troy, his attempts to reason with his increasingly unreasonable father, Zeus, they're part of Helen's story which comes to an end around how the wall is overcome and following Helen's equal inability to reason with Zeus.

I can't remember when I fully put aside that idea but I *do* remember I had a solid plan to release a 25k novella of Oenone (Paris' first wife) and a similarly lengthed Apologia to Apollo as promotional material.

This did not happen. Why? Because, before I finished Apollo's story, I realised

For a bunch of months out of last year, I was convinced I was just going to rework it with a focus that began at Paris' death and ran through Helen and Menelaus' reunion, followed by the incredibly unloved journey through Egypt.

(Unloved by others, not me. I love it quite a lot, actually.)

I haven't made any updates on #Helen for... wow it's been a whole minute. And, for once, it's not just the dumpster state of the world that's the reason.

Beta readings of #Helen made clear this is a whole lotta ground to cover in one novel. Too much. Where is my focus? What are the themes?

Can't argue with science!

Right now and for always

I see your special need for cupcakes and respond with my special need for tea ☕️🫖

What an absolute jerk!!

You SHOULD

I honestly like the way “why choose” seems to have become the trope name for #polyamorous stories.

Is it perfect? No. But does it give me something to key into searches to discover more than erotic menage fiction? 👌✨

Gimme your best “why choose” recs!
