An agent's guide to THE WISHING WELL by Nefer Doane
adult cozy fantasy
81k words

The Pitch:

Nori Savens can’t wait for the Wishing Well to open so she can summon her familiar. But when the shadow cat instantly dislikes her and the Wishing Well stays open, Nori and Sebastian—along with the rest of the island—will have to set aside their differences and work together, or a horde of ravenous familiars will break through and destroy their quiet seaside town.

For Fans of...

The Keeper of Magical Things by Julie Leong
The Spellshop by Sara Beth Durst

with temperamental antiques, quirky friendships, found family, seaside town, and quiet romance.

An Excerpt:

"A strange growl vibrated through the Wishing Well, deep enough to echo against stone.

Something was wrong.

She stared, her chest tight with dread. The shadows sped faster, small sparks of flame shooting into the air. She scrambled back as the Wishing Well opened—and a lithe something jumped out."

THE BONE BRIDES is out TODAY! Hayao Miyazaki meets Guillermo del Toro in this Sapphic YA portal fantasy in which a girl must save her changeling girlfriend from a terrifying faery realm. I have waited since I was 7 years old to be able to say... GO FIND ME IN YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE! ❤️

Graphic proclaiming, “Now Available Everywhere Books are Sold!” above a copy of THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter. “A marvelous, metaphorical masquerade.” –Kirkus Reviews. The cover’s main color palate is glowy blues and aquas and features two girls holding hands while standing face-forward. One girl has a missing eye and a place her torso reveals instead a ribcage. The other girl has a hand that has become skeletal. In a satchel the second girl wears sits a skeleton-rabbit. Behind the girls looms a large skeleton-deer, with one antler replaced by vines. Very moody and atmospheric. The book has pale-green sprayed edges, stenciled with deer skulls and the same antler/vine combination.

Trope map graphic for THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter, that includes “changeling x human romance”; “are skeleton rabbits cute?”; “mental illness rep”; “whimsical x spooky”; “a grumpy witch”; “don’t look up”; “a drowned faery realm”; and “queer girls in love.”

Got an unusual ask here, if folks would be kind enough to help spread the word. If you're a bookseller/bookstore who would be interested, pls comment with your bookstore's name & location. US only, as internatl mail is insane. (But maybe my UK publisher can be talked into something similar?)

Everyone stop, this is important

A black and white drawing of three dachshunds arranged vertically, each holding a different optical illusion object in its mouth, and the dogs themselves drawn as if a single line optical illusion. The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style. The artwork is signed “@IndieTheIntrovert” in the bottom right corner.
