CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS FOR LONELY HEARTS He’s uptight. She likes to blow things up (literally). They do NOT get along. Too bad it’s up to them to save the world. 👫Slow-burn enemies to lovers 👺Mistaken identities 🧠Neurodivergent and LGBTQ rep 🤣Awkward humour #DVPit #RomCom #A #Q

A very well-executed sketch of a woman and a man arguing in front of a fume hood. The woman wears safety glasses and a lab coat. The man is tall and skinny with a bit of a beard and regular glasses.

In the fume hood, an Erlenmeyer flask sitting on a hot plate shoots out red flames (or liquid, hard to tell) that turn into little hearts.

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.”

“Arrogant,” I bite back.
We are toe-to-toe, nose-to-nose, her amber irises trembling.
“You know nothing.” Fala seethes. I laugh, drunk on her wild temper on I can ignite. That may have been true at the beginning of term but not now.
I know all about the woman I’ve spent the year ruefully falling in love with.

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT Ship's cook Tai is horrified to discover their new crewmate is a terrifying alien: an ordinary human woman. Now Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #A #SF #LGBT

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words

"Did you hear? There's a human on board."
A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling.
alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH:
Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist.
Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway?
That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no.

PRIORITIES:
make dinner
remain cozy
haul cargo
go for drinks
pull off one last score
try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE:

“Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.”
I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity.
“Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.”
“Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table.
It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best.
The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.”
The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

COMPS:
Murderbot by Martha Wells
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

TROPES:
Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm
lying to themselves
non-human perspective (afraid of humans)
neurodivergent main characters
metaphorically disabled protagonist
slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship
disabilitynorm and queernorm setting
found family
loveable pet/terrifying monster

After fleeing from his war-ravaged hometown, a timid boy enrolls in an elite knighthood academy while falling for the ghost haunting his rose-scented manor; but when enemy knights invade his cozy new town during a festival that allows the dead to live for a single night, he must learn how to rally his courage before the girl he loves is lost forever.

CHAPTER ONE
My ghost never hides in the shadows.
When the afternoon burns brightest, I’ll catch her silhouette in the sunshine. When night steals the sky I glimpse delicate blue eyes peeking out behind moonbeam curtains. It’s been five weeks since we've moved in, yet I've only ever found her in the light.
“She’s not your ghost,” reminds Olive. “I can see her, too!”
But my sister’s claim rattles out like a lie. Looking at her now, she’s scrunching her face up, squinting real tight, yet her eyes never seem to find the shimmering girl that runs through Rosefall Manor.
Not like mine do.

Nia Moredi just wants to look out for her little brother. Miss Laval needs to attend a governess-teacher meeting. Baarsin Dorvierre's being watched. Pickpocket Wren needs to recharge her misdirection charm. If only Nia could remember which of them she's supposed to be today. #QuestPit #YA #F #LGBT

A Pickpocket's Guide to High Society
(And Higher Mathematics)

YA Fantasy 80K words
Catherine Winters dot com

Against a subtly textured background of mathematical formulae and a hexagonal summoning grid feature a collection of intriguing objects:

The outstretched hand of some mechanical clockwork automaton made of white porcelain.
A purple and gold masquerade mask.
A set of brass architect's tools: a compass, a protractor, calipers.
A set of gears laid out, pulled from some kind of mechanism.

The Pitch
When she picks the wrong pocket, sixteen-year-old Nia unlocks a magical talent she didn’t know she had and catches the attention of people she doesn't want to know. Blackmailed into stealing a mysterious box, Nia accidentally awakens a living clockwork doll—that promptly runs away.

Accused of betraying the blackmailers, Nia and her band of would-be thieves go on the run, pursued by magehunters, street gangs, and the secret police.

When the doll returns to make a deal, Nia turns to the man whose lucky coin unlocked her magic, only to find him missing. Caught in a lie, Nia’s soon posing as an heiress, in the clutches of the man’s elderly landlady—who's intent on introducing the girl she knows as “Baarsin” to high society.

As Nia finds herself disappearing into the role, she and her friends must race against time to track down the people behind it all: a secret society of mathematicians whose influence reaches all the way to the governor herself.

Excerpt
Caz tensed. “There’s someone following us,” she hissed.
“I know,” Nia said. The man had been tailing them through the crowd for almost six blocks now. “He won’t be the only one.” She tugged Caz into the empty foyer of a boarding house and pulled out her misdirection charm. “Take my hand and stay quiet!”
“That won’t work on me,” Caz protested.
“No,” Nia said, willing herself to believe. “I can do this.” With all her strength, she pushed more of herself into the charm, the equation unfolding in her mind’s eye. She reached out, and as the world darkened around them, turned the doorknob, Caz clutching her arm. Nia pulled the taller girl close as the man pushed past them, failing to notice the door was already opening.
On the busy sidewalk, Caz let out a breath. A small boy leaning against a nearby lamppost glanced in their direction, an uncertain expression on his young face.
Caz cringed. “Sorry!” she mouthed.

Comps & Tropes
Includes the covers of four books:

Never Ever After by Sue Lynn Tan
Den of Liars by Jessica S. Olsen
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo's
Beyond the Black Door by A.M. Strickland

"Tropes" is loosely used here and includes:
Stealing is magical (literally)
Fish out of water (you probably guessed)
Working for the wrong people
Ancient magic (in over their heads)
The MacGuffin is blackmailing us
"Aren't you a little young to be a criminal?"
Metaphorically dyslexic LI (she's also dyslexic)
Creepy clockwork doll that complains all the time
Good at magic, as long as she has a compass & protractor
Grifter vs. con artist
Sword lesbian (in training)
Lying (a lot)
Found family of scoundrels
Ace protagonist (who hasn't had time to think about that)
One big job and then we can retire (oh no, somehow everything went wrong)
Let's break into a data centre!
No chosen ones, no choosing ceremonies, just hard work and practice.

Pitch

When Minna is offered a place weaving the winds—and protecting the ship from monsters—on one of the largest ships in the Fleet, it comes with a catch: her betrothal to the Deckmistress’ son. Bullied by her mother, Minna takes the deal, surprised to find that her betrothed and her new Deckmistress are actually quite tolerable.

But when they capture one of the monsters terrorizing the Sea of Sorrows, Minna is forced into the role of jailer while they interrogate the monster, trying to find a way to destroy them. But as Minna’s prisoner proves herself to be surprisingly human, Minna becomes intent on saving her from her inevitable execution, going against her Deckmistress, her betrothed, and the entire crew. But the other monsters are drawn to their own. And they are coming.

First Lines

The body was bloated, thick veins of black running beneath the sun-dark skin, branching out from the missing chunk of flesh in the dead man’s shoulder. The corpse’s salt-stained trousers had caught on a twisted spike of driftwood, leaving the body to rise and settle with each rush of water up the golden sand.

“Fucking seas,” Minna muttered. “Is he washing in or out, do you figure?”

Her father grunted, squatting to pluck the torn and bloody pants off the broken branch anchoring the dead man to the shoreline. The next wave rushed in and claimed its prize, greedily sucking the body down the beach as it withdrew.

“I suppose we’ll see.” Her father shielded his eyes, silver hair shining in the rising sun as he squinted inland. “It can’t be too old.”

Hello and welcome to my bisexual pirate ( #birates ) book: Sculptor of the Winds It’s not a love triangle but it’s definitely a *vague mumbling* triangle. #unhingedpit #F #R #FR #AG #OS

A white skull and crossbones over a bisexual flag (pink, purple, blue from top to bottom). There is a white border around the outsides

A chart diagram where various arrows connect MMC (male main character), FMC (female main character), and Lesbian Monster.

Between FMC and MMC is a double sided arrow that says “wholesome romance”

Between MMC and Lesbian Monster is a double sided arrow that says “desire to murder each other” and an arrow pointed from Lesbian Monster to MMC that says “jealous of”

Between FMC and Lesbian monster is a double sided arrow that says “attraction” an arrow from FMC to Lesbian Monster that says “I can fix her” and an arrow from lesbian monster to FMC that says “covetous, toxic obsession”
