An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?
The Gothikana Hardcover Edition: featuring sprayed edges, a foil case stamp, gorgeously detailed endpapers, an updated map and deliciously moody art throughout.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT
The eternal romance of Beauty and the Beast meets the gothic suspense of Dracula in this erotic dark academia story of epic love from bestselling author RuNyx.
An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong?
An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother. When she receives the admission letter from the mysterious University of Verenmore, she accepts it as a sign from the universe. The last thing she expects though is an old, secluded castle on top of a mountain riddled with secrets, deceit, and death.
An enigma his entire life, Vad Deverell likes being a closed book but knowing exactly everything that happens in the university. A part-time professor working on his thesis, Vad has been around long enough to know the dangers the castle possesses. And he knows the moment his path crosses with Corvina, she's dangerous to everything that he is.
They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years over the past century, Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her.
And so, begins a tale of the mysterious, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

So I'm seeing ads for Gothikana like every three seconds and I just. Need my followers to know:
A. I enjoyed this book;
B. It was NOT a good book;
C. If you buy the professionally edited version and there's not a bunch of absolutely insane and/or really dumb parts you have been ROBBED of the full Gothikana experience and you should ask for your money back, but I don't think there's enough editing in the world to make this a non-weird book. But like. It'd be really sad imo if they warned you in advance about the orgy everyone knows about but the reader. I just. It truly is A Book.
I wrote a Goodreads review. I rated it five stars because it was fucking bonkers. More art should be this unabashedly iddy and weird. And also, I hope the author learns how to take care of pianos if they ever own one irl because storing one outside with a tarp over it is NOT HOW YOU DO IT oh my god.

Hi Kat 👋
How's your manuscript/publishing journey going? Last I saw you were still editing.
Any advice for the current climate?
Tumblr media
probably the most accurate way to describe it tbh. i'm turning in a brand new book next week that i've had quite a bit of fun writing and my agent is really excited about, so yknow fingers crossed!
as for the current climate...oof. now i'm by no means an expert, but there are things i've observed or been told, so if i had to sum it up in a few points (i'll stick them under a cut so i can add more as i think of them, so this list is absolutely not exhaustive but my brain is kinda mushy so this is what i can think of off the top of my head):
shorter is better. novellas are really having a good time rn, but even in full length novels, shorter is better. it used to be that you needed at least 90k for an Adult fantasy, for instance. now, you're better off aiming for as close to 80k as possible. the only people still capable of selling enormous books (as if 120k is enormous but in publishing terms in the day and age when everything has to be shorter? yeah that's a gigantic book) are bestsellers already (either through tradpub or selfpub) or the exception to the rule.
AI continues to exist. saw today that the RWA is now pushing an AI writing class with an author who claims to have hit book #100. i'm not sure how many of her books were written with AI, given the post i saw claimed she's only been using it for about a year, but still. i expect quite a lot of lawsuits tbh, especially if whichever AI tool she uses was trained on the work by, say, Nora Roberts.
promotion is...changing? idk i have seen a lot of authors say that they're tired of being the lone person at their publisher bothering to promote their books, so it's very difficult to generate enough buzz to sell any copies. author promo is one of the things i've dreaded most about becoming an author because i get very easily tongue-tied and hate being on camera. i think this is why tradpub is looking to selfpub (beyond trying to make a quick buck) for which books they're acquiring. a selfpub success doesn't need as much promo as a debut with no platform.
selfpub to tradpub pipeline is likely gonna continue. these books often hit bestseller lists (Gothikana and Serpent and the Wings of Night were both megasellers as selfpubbed books, and they both hit the NYT upon publication). hopefully we all know how i feel about this so i can avoid another rant (i still have a deadline to meet) but a tl;dr summary of my feelings about this: i'm happy for the selfpubbed authors and despise tradpub using them for a way to make easy money.
likewise with the fanfic to tradpub pipeline. but i do think publishing might start looking wider than just reylo fic, given we now have an HP fic that's been sold as a reimagined tradpub book.
now i don't know as much about YA these days as i do Adult fiction, but the big genre everyone is after rn is romantasy (not to be confused with fantasy romance or fantasy with romance--both are similar, but each is different: romantasy = romance as the main plot, fantasy as the secondary; fantasy romance = fantasy and romance plots are kinda neck and neck; fantasy with romance = fantasy main plot, romance subplot).

• You’re the mountain I build my castle on, brick by brick,” she whispered to him, her eyes stinging. “You stand, I soar. You crack, I crumble.

“If you value your life, don’t look at me like that. Not with those eyes.”
He leaned closer, his warm breath and burning scent washing over her.
“It makes me want things, little crow.”
