It’s WIP Wednesday, so here’s a snippet from the gothic fantasy book I am currently working on. 💀

She is *chonky* but I do need to rewrite a fair amount so I don’t think it’ll end up being quite as long as it’s shaping up to be… I hope 🥲🥶

📚💙#booksky 🌿 Hazelthorn by C.G. Drews is gothic, queer, and dripping with dread. Think haunted mansions, deadly gardens, and secrets that bloom in the dark.

Would you open the door—or stay away from the garden? 👁️
