Competing for magic that’ll save you from your immortal ex is fine until you fall for your academic rival* - worse yet when he needs it to evade the deity drowning a nation in search of him 🥀Dark academia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Folklore 💖Autistic rep *who’s chronically unserious #QuestPit #AG #A

The title ‘A Mortal Drowning’ with a tagline that reads ‘characters in another life, specifically the MMC’

The background is digital artwork of the book’s central couple, a grumpy dark-haired man and a woman with long, golden hair holding a book.

A painting of a happy clown holding an umbrella titled ‘naive clown’.

Beside the image are the following descriptions:
Confused but trying his best
In love, pathetically
Melodramatic king

Then, quote from the the MMC’s POV: "I picked more flowers for her in the time I had to pack, and although she courteously thanked me as she always does, she hasn't brought them on the trip so I can only assume she wishes me dead."

Digital artwork of a buff, topless clown making a suggestive gesture titled ‘circus freak (capital FREAK)’.

Beside the image are the following descriptions:
Wait, he’s kinda… 🫦
Accidental agent of chaos
Is it the autism? Or is he just deranged?

Then, quote from the the MMC’s POV:

“You still haven't told me your grade.'
'Your insecurity is unbecoming, I breathe, my teeth clenched to stifle another moan. 'Please.' His breath is heavy in my ear. 'You're fortunate I can never say no to you.'

A painting of a sad court jester sitting down titled ‘solemn jester’.

Beside the image are the following descriptions:
Uh oh, shit’s getting serious
He’s being hunted? By a deity?
Rip, my guy

Then, quote from the the MMC’s POV: "Given personal circumstances, perhaps I should embrace the opportunity to repent my soul. I would, truly, but I suspect soul repentance is quite the commitment and I'm a little preoccupied with trying not to die at the moment."

DARK WATER DAUGHTER X ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART A fiery maid races to sea after her bff & a legendary map, but a passionate romance w/ the pirate captain opens her eyes to a world of danger & she must do anything to get the map before she loses her friend. #questpit #Q #NA #RF

The first slide of an Agent's Guide for the novel A SIREN'S CALL. It has a sapphire blue background with bubbles, bordered once in black, then once in a very pale blue. In the centre there is a circle with around a quarter of sea at the bottom and the rest the sky. There are two blue seagrass, one on either side of the circle. Curved around the top of the circle it says the author's names, "Danielle Bradbury" and "Ashlea Screaton", and mirrored at the bottom it gives the name and genre as "New adult slowburn romantic fantasy". The title "THE SIREN'S CALL" is in the centre of the circle but sticks out either end, the letters on the blue are coloured pale blue and the ones over the circle are coloured black. Beneath the title in smaller letters is the word count, "90k words".

The second slide of an Agent's Guide for the novel A SIREN'S CALL. It has a sapphire blue background with bubbles, bordered once in black, then once in a very pale blue. At the top there is a black title, split off with a little blue shore bordered with white, reading "Pitch". The rest of the slide reads in white "Courting a Lord could've been Delphine's escape from her violent employer, but when her best friend is sent with pirates after a mythical map, she refuses to be left behind.

A budding romance with the Captain reveals he is tailed by a dark past which could sabotage the mission, but the pirates have claimed her friend as collateral. She must do anything to get the map-even using the Captain's secret against him-or lose her friend."

The fourth slide for the novel A SIREN'S CALL. It has a sapphire blue background with bubbles, bordered once in black, then once in a very pale blue. At the top there is a black title, split off with a little blue shore bordered with white, reading "Excerpt". The rest of the slide reads in white "Few things gave Delphine the same rush as finishing a book on stolen time.

The end of this faerytale had been evading her for days, interrupted repeatedly by chiming bells, banal instructions, or nipping in her ear to ‘get a move on!’. Each time accompanied by a lamenting sigh, the book’s scarred spine deforming further as she wedged it open with whatever she could find. Pots and pans weren’t preferable, but were the usual suspects.

It didn’t matter that she could recite the tale cover to cover with her eyes closed. She longed for the rhythm of the words to lull her into another land, another time, another life. An adventure, or a change in scenery from cold stone and colder steel.

Far away from chamber pots, snooty sneers and vile tempers."

THE BARGAINER x SERPENT & DOVE NIGHT BIRD, an adult romantic fantasy ft: 🕰️ dual timeline ✨ invisibility & intangibility 🔪 FMC vigilante for wronged women ☠️ poison & female rage 🌃 newly industrialized world 🫂 found family #QuestPit #A #F #RF #Q #AgentsGuide #AgentGuide

An Agent’s Guide for Night Bird
An adult romantic fantasy novel

The Pitch
Ava is destined for a life of seduction, espionage, and assassination. Born with the ability to become invisible, she is the secret weapon of one of the five great houses. But when a mysterious boy, Zev, crashes through her warded cage, she is freed.

With her freedom, Ava transforms into Night Bird, a vigilante for wronged women. But tipping the scales of justice draws the notice of New Oster’s power elite, including one of the most feared men in the city, who turns out to be the boy who set her free. And when the house she left behind catches up, he may be the only one able to help her from following in her dead mother’s footsteps.

For Fans of:
DUAL TIMELINE
SLOW BURN ROMANCE
FOUND FAMILY
FEMALE RAGE & POISON
KNIFE TO THE THROAT
ESCAPE FROM OPPRESSORS
PAST CATCHING UP
INDUSTRIALIZED URBAN SETTING

Images:
Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole

A Snippet:
The man in the ring seemed inhuman. Not like the Zev I’d known.

“I’ve seen a serratys fight. Rumbled with a few myself,” Stone said, eyes flicking wildly to take in every detail. “They didn’t move like that. This fight was over before it began. He’s just providing good entertainment by not ending it right away, that’s all.”

Despite his blood-slicked skin, Digger remained on his feet, weaving desperately to regain footing. His unfocused eyes were dazed. Zev finally stood still, letting the other man throw a punch, then sidestepped with a hard elbow to the head. That was the end of Digger, who crashed onto the ground like a collapsed building.

Earsplitting cheers and stomping beat at my ears, and I wanted to clap my hands over them. Then the screams transformed from exuberance to fear as Zev sprouted horns on stage, body growing, muscles bulging—his serratys form taking over.

His roar deafened the crowd, but my hands dropped as his chest tattoos came into focus. With his constant motion, I hadn’t gotten a good look during the fight. But now he was still, and I saw it. The tattoo entwined by so many others, almost hidden. It was a bird, wings raised as if viewed from the side and slightly underneath.
A night bird. The exact ones I used to play my cello for on those lonely nights. Where Zev’s nickname had started. And that bird was now inked across his chest, directly over his heart.

Moodboard for an adult political intrigue fantasy taking place on an archipelago. The text reads "Were you in any way suited for this world, you would know that diplomacy is often most effective in the absence of flags." The images show a rocky island coast from above, the rigging of a tall ship from below (sails lowered), a girl with dark eyes and dark braided hair with gold beads, the inside of a grand theatre, a large unfurled scroll of writing, a chess board with a knocked over piece, two fencers preparing to fence, palm trees at sunset, a khaen, and more ship ropes and rigging at night from the deck.

Photo at night of a tall ship's rigging and sail with a textbox over it reading "PITCH: Sabamere’s Crown is dead, & no one can know.
Least of all the two other nations at the Amber Coast diplomatic summit—if one isn’t responsible for his death, that is.

Luckily, the reclusive Crowns hide behind their selected Aftcastles, so the old Aftcastle can keep up the charade of stability until delicate negotiations are done & the new Crown can take the throne.

Enter street actress Rev, stage left. She’s the new Crown’s choice for Aftcastle, which must remain a secret until the summit ends, but her duty to her country—& her brother, jailed in a dungeon right below the negotiating table—has already begun.

All Rev needs to do is keep her head down, her ears open, & stay alive until her Crown’s coronation, then she can free her brother.

Too bad the diplomats have other plans for her."

Dark fantasy Victorian vibes with purple color composition.
Top row, left-to-right: a Byronic handsome man in black, a palace, a dark figure burning in hell fire, a masked female assassin of dark complexion holding a dagger, a serpentine forest trail at night marked with red flowers.
At the center next to a silver plume is the text: “This world, my dear, is the slaughterhouse of noble ideals.”
Bottom row, left-to-right: a dark gaslit street, a gaslit city blanketed in coal smog at night, a young woman in a Victorian gown, wrought-iron gates opened to a foreboding foggy estate in the dark, a trail of red petals leading to a dark stone temple gate.

Excerpt:
A gaunt mouse nibbled greedily at a stale bread roll left on my lunch tray. I didn’t have the heart to give her a name as I might lose her too.
The lingering scent of mud and mildew hung in the air, a long-forgotten tomb. I clenched my jaw to keep my teeth from chattering. The bed’s cast iron rods dug into my ribs through the thin mattress. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull. The faded floral pattern of the peeling wallpaper was my only reminder of life beyond these walls.
I pulled the threadbare blanket tighter around my body, hugging my knees to my chest. It did little against the chill creeping into my bones. The raging blizzard had transformed the courtyard into a churning white sea, rattling the broken window shutters hanging askew. At least no screams echoed through the halls today.

ON SUB! #questpit The Reluctant Mentor: A Cozy, Comedic Adult Fantasy about a wizard who mentors "chosen ones" and is ready to retire off the magical grid--after one last trope-twisting quest with a gaggle of misfits. LEGENDS & LATTES x DREADFUL x ORCONOMICS #OS #AG #A #F #CZ

The Reluctant Mentor: Cozy Comedic Fantasy by Alexis Veenendaal

This Wizard’s had enough of “Chosen Ones”—but if he wants to retire, he’s going to have to deal with one more.

Unfortunately, Athragast’s chosen hero refuses the job, so he has to look toward alternative means. He finds a pickpocketing busboy named Jon who ought to do the trick.

Armed with his magical staff, a cigar-eating rodent companion, and the annoyingly optimistic Jon, Athragast must force his last quest back on the “hero’s journey” track before the academy finds out about his unconventional methods.

ELECTRIC SEXUAL TENSION.
Excerpt reads: There's a possessiveness in how he touches me and I wish I hated it.
"How would you punish me?" I breathe out, unable to control my impulses.
Fingers touch my zip as he slowly slips it down, millimetre by millimetre. My body is completely in his thrall, unable to decipher the beat of my heart from the thump of the speaker's bass.
Cloudy background with one half of a lightning bolt

a moodboard detailing nine images related to my book ALL THE DEVILS in order they are: a neon rock n roll sign, london (notably big ben), a man playing the guitar, a man punching a mirror, a man staring forward into the camera with only his eye showing, someone walking down a hallway, stars falling from the sky, photos hanging from the ceiling and finally, an audience at a gig. all nine images have a red hue.
