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. #questpit me introduce you to House of Valentine, complete at 98k words a thrilling gothic fantasy. #A #F #RM #Q Comps⬇️ 1/2

A dark, moody moodboard labeled ‘House of Valentine Moodboard’ at the center in elegant cursive text. Surrounding it are nine sections:
1. A hand with clawed nails dragging across wooden floorboards, leaving deep scratches.
2. Text on a textured background that reads, ‘When Night Comes’ in a serif font.
3. A close-up of a golden, cat-like eye with a vertical slit pupil, surrounded by shadowed skin.
4. A wide-open mouth with sharp, pointed fangs
5. A grand ballroom scene filled with people in elegant historical attire, dancing beneath ornate chandeliers.
6. A hand with long, deep red nails holding a glass of dark red wine
7. The word ‘Run’ written in bold serif font on a completely black background
8. A dagger with intricate designs on the hilt resting next to a single stemmed rose and a torn piece of paper with faded text.

"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."
-- Excerpt From Soren Valentine's Journal

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 romantic gothic fantasy filled with sharp fangs, fragile alliances, and a slow-burn romance that will leave you breathless.

The Pitch!
It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

On the left, text on torn paper: Sirensong, 126k words, Sci-Fi/Romance, Iron Widow Meets Steelheart. On the right, a stormy sky

A moodboard with nine images surrounded by text.
1. A silver domino mask
2. A bloody knife
3. a glowing silver eye
4. A greyscale image of a lightning strike
5. Text reading: No matter what you do, you're still my sister.
6. A black and white tuxedo.
7. A broken compass necklace.
8. Greyscale crime scene text.
9. A black mask with fangs.
Surrounded by text: power and corruption, slowburn, found family, queer disabled rep, complicated twins, secret identity, love or duty?, kill the rich

Snippets: Lightning captured the clouds in a bright, sudden burst, and I flinched as unwanted memories flashed behind my eyes. Bloodstained hands wrapped around a knife. Golden, fiery eyes burned into mine. A woman screamed. A tiny hand wrapped in mine as red-and-blue lights flashed through the sky.
A line.
People like Amelia Nova and Jason Rathburn got to scam people out of insurance and perform unethical basement experiments while people like my mother got to rot in a prison cell without a second thought. Shadow was the promise that these people would see vengeance, even if justice would not come.
A line.
A wave of vindication rose in my chest at the fear in his eyes. He was scared of the very thing he and his brother had created, scared of the consequences of his actions. He was scared of the thing he could no longer control.

Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic, and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most.

Chapter One
The rain made it easier to rob his grave.
My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night’s whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us.
Us.
As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.

A collage photo grid.
Top row: a black & white photo of a winged horse and rider: a blood moon; a tiger staring to camera.
Middle row: A woman's dark mysterious eyes, staring through her cupped hands, with lights shining within them; a black & white photo of a feminine figure stood by the sea in a black hooded coat/cloak. The words "See you in the next life"; a man's symmetrical face, bathed in a vertical line of red light.
Bottom row: a horizon at dusk or dawn, the plateau dark with a raised rock formation, the sunrise or sunset is red to blue to black; hands holding a black mask, with hollow eyes, light shines behind.
