My MG eco horror––perfect for illustrated pages––goes on sub Wednesday! 😅 Hey, EDITORS! 👀 Twelve-year-old Millie must face an ancient redwood’s curse, vengeful spirits, and her family’s dark past to uncover the truth—or risk becoming part of the haunted forest forever. #MG #H #F #OS #BluePit

trees, dark colors, a lilac; title: THE KEY TO FALLS TOOTH WOODS, a middle grade eco horror by Ellen Mulholland

Story pitch set against green forest with a hovering river dragon. Text: In the Key to Falls Tooth Woods, a 54,000-word middle grade eco fantasy, adventure-seeking Millie Merken plans to help her grandfather who has slipped into the early stages of dementia.

Determined to lead him back to the present and recover his lost memories, Millie enters the forbidden woods where she faces dark forces and a sentient redwood seeking revenge against the humans who ravaged the land.

When she uncovers a darker conspiracy involving her family, allies and enemies blur as Millie is faced with impossible choices––fight for the truth or submit to the forest’s vengeance.

dark woodsy background with Excerpt:
“We head down the road to my grandparents, passing the Falls Tooth town center: a 7-11 that hosts the police station. There’s no library or shopping malls, meaning there will be no adventures here.

When we pull into my grandparents gravel driveway, even the yard smells boring. A single row of wildflowers bend in the breeze along the fence line, but there are no shrubs or trees. The backyard is square, the grass is overgrown and littered with leaves and twigs, and the path leading from the house to the splintered gate is spotted with weeds. The gate won’t shut even though Dad tries twice, grunting and blaming a loose hinge that he’ll need to fix.

Beyond the property stretches a grassy slope that ends at the woods I’ve been warned not to enter. Even though Mom said four years is a long time to stay scared of trees, and I do miss them. That piney smell, that spongy forest floor. But I’m just not ready. Dad said that was fine because the fast-moving river and dense forest make it easy to get lost.

A towering tree line confirms his No Entry rule.”

Comp book covers: The Curse of Eelgrass Bog, The Night Gardener, Small Spaces; Tropes and Vibes: grounded fantasy, mother-daughter team, elder rep, environmentalism, supernatural creatures, self-reliance

Maturing is realizing that the reasons we ❤️ a male main character are the same reasons we deem a female lead “unlikeable” bc we still hold fast to sociatal gender norms: A man’s anger is admirable (“he’s a protector”) but a woman’s anger is “irrational” & “dramatic.” 🤷‍♀️ #booksky #writingcommunity
