A Vampire’s Lament 🖤🦇🥀 Book One in the Time and Time Again series. Benevolent vampire Ishmael’s carefully balanced life is disrupted when Edric awakens a love he thought lost centuries ago. #Cupit #PR #GR #LGBT #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #queerwriters

A gothic style original painting of a vampire dressed in black holding a man dressed in white linen in a stone corridor, surrounded by candle light and moonflowers.

A pitch card that reads benevolent vampire Ishmael’s carefully balanced life is shattered when Edric, the tutor of his adopted nine-year-old spirit medium son, awakens a love he thought lost centuries ago.

A tropes and themes page that reads: DUAL POV, love after grief, queer love and joy, soft gothic, sentient manor, soft fatherhood, ghosts, awkward vampire and sunshine human, Victorian era, queer normative setting, opera house and music, yearning soulmates, and happily ever after

A snippet page that reads in every world, in every time, I would choose you. You are the song of the stars, and the whisper among the trees. It has been you. It has always been you.

BETTER THAN THE MOVIES X PLAYING FOR KEEPS After her kiss-cam accident with The Jerk became viral, 17yo Jess thought she’d reached rock bottom. But to make things worse, she sets up a fake-dating scheme with him. No way she’ll get lower than that and catch feelings, right? RIGHT? #RC #YA #Cupit

17yo comic-nerd Zach is a liar. That’s his superpower. So when his best friends break up, shattering the trio, he dresses up as a superhero to get things back to the way they were. But he never expected Stella would ask him to help unmask the guy she’s falling for. Being a hero sucks. #RC #YA #Cupit

Collage-style promotional graphic for the novel Babel on Callisto. Four illustrated polaroid images show two men, Jack (blond) and Elias (dark-haired with glasses), in different scenes: wearing space suits, working together in a lab, leaning close in a quiet moment, and kissing. The background is pink and textured with scientific sketches and handwritten notes. A torn paper excerpt of prose is centered. Text on the images reads “Babel on Callisto,” “Now Querying,” “88K Sci-Fi Horromance,” and “@saraduranauthor.”

Top 2 pics: The 2 Kelpie heads at Falkirk & a little girl in a white dress on a dock putting little paper boats in water. The kelpie pic has a quote “When thowes dissolve the snawy hoord, An' float the jinglin' icy boord, Then water-kelpies haunt the foord, By your direction, And 'nighted trav'llers are allur'd To their destruction.” Robert Burns

Middle 2 pics: A Fjord with an old castle looking building & a yellow flowering meadow in the Scottish Highlands. The fjord pic has a quote: “In the depths they await to hear the children's whispered calls.” - The Children who Whispered to Water.

Bottom Pic: An art pic of a kelpie with glowing white eyes coming out of the water to a shore of a forest. At the bottom of the pic is the title in green in a watery font The Children who Whispered to Water. There is a quote “No mortal ear could have heard the kelpie passing through the night, for the great black hooves of it were as soundless as feathers falling" The Kelpie's Pearls, Molly Hunter

Top pics: a cabin in snowy mountains & a woman walking in a jungle forest. Over those 2 pics is the title in orange Wilderness Lockup. On the snowy pic is a quote: “the instinct to survive is human nature itself, and every aspect of our personalities derive from it.” - Robert Heinlein

2nd row pics: A blonde girl in an orange coat with a tan backpack in a forest holding a map, & a man in an orange jacket sailing a boat on an ocean.

3rd row pics: a man walking in a sandy desert, & a girl walking in a red rock area. The desert pic has a quote: “Survivors aren't always the strongest; sometimes they're the smartest, but more often simply the luckiest.” - Carrie Ryan, The Dark & Hollow Places

Bottom pics: A man kayaking in a Swamp, a man hiking a Hawaiian trail by the ocean, & a man crying on the sign at the Katahdin trailhead. The Hawaiian picture has a quote "I don't think I outfitted you. I don't think I outfitted you. The only thing I did was outcast you." Bob Crowley, Gabon
