Writeblr Re-Intro :3
Hi, I’m Trixie! I’m a writer of a variety of lengths and genres, and I use shey/heir neopronouns (singular format) and it/its. Either works!
Genres:
Horror
Thriller
Crime (solving & causing)
Crime-romance
Murder mysteries
I also dabble around in some English/Scottish/Irish and Greek/Roman mythos things; I’m a classicist and I really enjoy the fae in all their forms :D
I’m a freelance editor and do writing commissions. I also do writing advice, book reviews, and book recommendations. (For things I have yet to post, the tags will be hyperlinked here once I have it set up.) Find me on Kofi!
My novels:
Paper Thin, AKA a horror story surrounding an aromantic woman waking up in a reality where everything is wrong: she's married; her facial features have changed; she has a whole life she doesn't remember.
Untitled Bacchae-inspired WIP, AKA where a struggling trans Oxford student meets a strange yet alluring man in a club, who leads him down a path of hedonism, debauchery, increasingly worse grades, all while the bodies pile up and the police grow ever closer.
Untitled heist WIP, AKA in a world where magic is rare and highly sought after, used for volatile healing and the most dangerous of weapons, except in England, where it makes the trains run on time. Low fantasy featuring found family, crime, family secrets, and mutations that won't stay hidden – Elise is determined to save her cousin Dymas, but does her cousin want to be saved?
Liesmith, AKA in a low fantasy world where everyone has a power, Lila can convince anyone of any lie. She is assigned to decode the messages from the government’s kept oracle and, when her own death is predicted, realises she must find a way to avoid it. In the process, she meets someone with a power so dangerous that they’re usually killed at birth…
My novellas:
Memento Vivere, AKA a horror-thriller set in one locked room, where a group of kidnapped people have to figure out which one amongst them is the kidnapper… but every accusation comes at the cost of a life.
The Wasp, AKA three polyamorous women trying to make it work in between crime and betrayal
Blood Dice, or where in a realm not quite real, Millie learns to play for her life
My short stories:
For Want of a Ticket (complete), or a Western where a young woman runs elaborate scams on strangers, complete with an undertone of sadness (and loneliness)
The Stranger (complete), or Harrison gets on a train and meets a very odd man
Bestial Nature (complete), or Tom lives in a world where humans have the life cycle of salmon
One Hundred Times, or a short retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice in which Orpheus looks back a hundred times for a hundred different reasons with a hundred different reactions
Untitled fairy WIP, or a first person POV of a somewhat stuck up researcher into the fair folk
"You can't protect her forever" AKA woman offers herself up to be tortured to protect her girlfriend
The backburner:
Trinity, AKA what attempts to be a neutral retelling of hades and persephone, told from three perspectives: hades, persephone, and demeter. the goal of this one is to write what is clearly the same narrative with different perspectives, and ultimately tries to not hold anyone at fault
"The Lillian Ainsworth murder" AKA a late victorian setting for a murder mystery, featuring repressed gays, mysterious marriages, financial debt, family feuds, and an unsettling promise for revenge
What Dwells Beneath, or a crime solving gang of polyamorous women head undercover into a den of crime, magic, sex, drugs, and lies, and come out of it a little less unattached
A Heart and a Half, or an ancient vampire attempts to rob a museum to stop her centuries-long best friend from finding her unsent love letters. To do so, she takes on “Ethan Smith” – a sinister figure who may be friend, or foe.
Two immortal lesbians fight across time, one determined to die and the other determined to keep her alive.
A very rough plan for what is essentially out of timeline parasites that overtake someone's body with the aim of assassinating targets
Backwards murder mystery, where a seasoned detective is vindicated when the unsettling up-and-comer officer reveals himself as a serial killer – but why? what does he hope to gain?
A failing demon falls in love with a beautiful angel, only to find that things are not as they appear
In a world without light, Lucy comes across a demon with the power to create it, only to let her be taken away. Despite it all, Lucy starts to dream in colour.
