Covenant of the Damned (119k rom. fantasy) in microtropes! When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers. #Q #RF #F #A #QuestPit

Cover slide to introduce the microtropes that you can expect to see in "Covenant of the Damned," a 119k romantic fantasy that is now querying. The background is an ethereal oil painting

the microtropes listed are: reluctant allies, only one horse, he's been thirty for the last 230 years, elemental-based magic systems, lady knights, she's the chosen one, and he tends to her wounds. There's an icon of a computer cursor hovering over a box that says "select all," to indicate that all microtropes are present in "Covenant of the Damned"

On this slide there is a painted hand holding a sword and a repetition of the pitch. The image also states that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano.

The promise of imminent death feels briefly distant as I cut through the canyon of glass and steel toward Her. I match Orion's pace, stride for stride. For tradition's sake, we've been walking since dawn but we're still five long blocks away from the nearest checkpoint. By the time the sun's white disc clears those towers, She'll have already cast Her judgment.

SIX OF CROWS x DISHONORED Industry, magical whale-oil, and exploitative capitalists -- and one disillusioned thief decides to raid the most secure oil vault there is. But he can't do it alone. 🐳 Victorian whalepunk 🐳 Fantasy heist 🐳 Class rage 🐳 Found family #LuckyPit #PopUpPit #PopUpPitA #F #A

Moodboard of a grimy, whalepunk fantasy heist novel called Wavewaker.

Wavewaker Tropes & Themes:
- Underdog MC
- Socioeconomic disillusionment
- Morally grey characters
- Found family
- Star-crossed lovers
- Grounded magic system
- Undercover heist

Excerpt: A row of crimson whale-oil lanterns shepherded guests through the gated courtyard and towards the main entrance of Nocturne Hall, like buoys guiding ships through the dark. The ethereally pale structure stood silent, its roof curved and packed with servants’ windows, more patriotic red spilling out through crimson stained-glass windows and drenching white balconies wide enough to be boulevards.

This red-eyed monolith belonged to Sovereign Ylva Torn, chairwoman of the Echelon, and was the subject of the yearly masquerade. A perfect place for the rich to carve up the world a little finer between themselves, with spiked iron fences to keep out undesirables.

Aside from those they invited in, of course.

“No, there’s always your mom,” I said.
He rolled his eyes.
“I’m busy,” he said.
“Doing what?”
“I have shit to do for work,” he said. “And the cat sitter keeps calling me about things that are not an emergency. And you show up and you just want to hang out. I don’t have any new trauma to dump on you today.”
“So, you want me to leave?” I said.
“Please, Jasper, get out of my room before I do something without thinking it through,” he said. “We’ll both get hurt.”
“Oh, so you want to f*** me, don’t you?” I said.
“I don’t know if I can do this again,” he said. “I gave you everything and you threw me away.”

Would you choose immortality? Of course you would. But let me tell you: It’s a lie. A cruel, promise. Because the hunger you live with—No, the hunger that you are—is worse. House of Valentine - 98k words a gothic fantasy w/ a b-plot romance. #PopUpPit #PopUpPitA #Q #F #G #R #booksky #LuckyPit

'House of Valentine' by Taylor Renee. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, overlaid with watercolor illustrations of a skull roses, daisies, and pine trees. The title 'HOUSE OF VALENTINE' is prominently displayed in large, elegant white letters. Below the title, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' and 'AGENT & EDITOR GUIDE' in smaller white font. The overall aesthetic is moody and romantic, with a gothic fantasy vibe.

The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, adorned with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'EXCERPT' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by a poetic passage: 'If you could live for centuries—through famine and plague, through wars that razed cities and left ash in their wake, that not even a bomb crashing through your home could destroy you—would you choose immortality? Wouldn't you dream of such a gift? To remain as you were as the world crumbles around you, and rebuilds itself, endlessly? Of course you would. That’s the allure, isn’t it? The whispered fantasy of endless time, of infinite existence. But let me tell you: it’s a lie. A cruel promise. Because after enough centuries, you begin to wish for the plague to ravage your body, to tear through your flesh and wring you dry of life. You begin to long for the bomb to shatter you, burn away your skin until you’re nothing but bone and ash. You’d pray for the famine to hollow you out, for hunger to gnaw at your insides so violently that you might finally collapse under the weight of mortality. Because the hunger you live with—No, the hunger that you are—is worse.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple.

The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, embellished with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'BLURB' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by the blurb: 'When anthropology student Hazel Adler travels to a remote Swiss village for her thesis, she expects folklore and forgotten traditions—not a hidden world of vampires, deadly politics, and a centennial festival that’s more nightmare than celebration. She was never meant to survive it. Her only lifeline? Soren Valentine—a vampire with a past as blood-soaked as his fangs. As the lines between myth and reality blur, Hazel must fight to survive in more ways than one. Trusting Soren may be her only chance—but the monster who saved her life hides dangerous secrets of his own. Survival means risking everything. House of Valentine is a gothic fantasy filled with sharp fangs, fragile alliances, and a slow-burn b-plot romance that will leave you breathless.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple.

'House of Valentine' by Taylor Renee, focusing on tropes, themes, and comps. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, adorned with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The text 'TROPES & THEMES & COMPS' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by a list of tropes and themes: 'ROMEO & JULIET, BEAUTY & THE BEAST, ALLIES TO LOVERS, MORALLY GRAY CHARACTERS, VAMPIRE SOCIETY, SLOW BURN.' The image includes three book cover comps: 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice, 'The Beautiful' by Renée Ahdieh, and 'A Discovery of Witches' by Deborah Harkness, each framed with a pink border.

After the war, Shasha thought she did not have to worry about the dangerous and psychic Tenock race until she found a strange boy hiding out in the desert, a meeting that would change the fate of both their people. He needs to find his people, he wants a friend... #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit

To Shasha Cruz the war with the Tenocks was ancient history. She had been told stories of their fierce energy and of them doing unbelievable things like reading minds, moving objects with just thoughts, and burning skin to the bone with just a touch. She thought most of it was exaggerated until while attempting to cross the desert to start a new life, she encounters Maraha, a strange boy hiding in the wilderness.

He had been told to wait and hide, for what and who he did not know. He only knew he was desperately lonely and slowly starving. He wanted someone to talk to and find others like him. To make that happen he needed Shasha to take him to the human city, a place of death for his people. It would be a decision that would start a chain of events that would change the fate of both races.

Together the pair locate the Tenock underground, the last refuge of those ‘whose faces are known’. They confront the Ranch, a place dedicated to brutally unlocking the secrets of the Tenock's abilities for their own ends. All the while Maraha is unknowingly being followed by those who hold the mysteries of his past and Shasha is given a choice between safety and wielding the abilities of the Tenock herself. They both discover their own power and grapple with increasing yet unspoken feelings between them. They must rely on each other not only for their own survival but the survival of the entire Tenock race.

My new pitch card for the sapphic gothic horror novel I #amquerying With the economy crumbling and inequality skyrocketing, what can be more pertinent than a story about proverbially eating the rich 😁❤️ #PopUpPitA #LuckyPit #adult #horror #gothic

Two sets of eyes guide you through the controversial halls of Havetsavain Academy of Arcane’s inaugural year. Millie and Ava both add their own dash of whimsy, humor and poise, witnessing the school’s mysteries and a more sinister layer to the magic world. #LuckyPit #PopUpPit #PopUpPitA #booksky 📚💙

The Book cover: An image of a golden key with a purple compass as its bow. It is wrapped with a green and blue banner with the words: Havetsavain Academy of Arcane: The Other School on it. It is on a background of stars and lines. Around this image is text about the book.

I’m just a hard-working guy, living in NY, loving his pizza. It’s tough. High rent, low pay, vampires who want me dead. So when a hot billionaire offers me a job overseas, I jump on it. Too bad the pizza and vampires in London suck. ~Jason Blue Bloods x Yakuza #PR #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA 📚💙 #writing

Happy St Patrick’s Day with pizzas. 🍕 ☘️
