At Your Pace is out now :) This book wouldn't be here without the support from the Bluesky community - motivation, hype on snips, beta and ARC readers. I hope you all love Emerson and Valeria as much as I do. It would mean a ton if you checked it out: www.amazon.com/Your-Pace-Hu...

A tracking board, like one used by officials who are hunting down fugitives, features a collage of pictures on top of a map of New England.  Headshots of a nonbinary pilot and a woman are on the top of the board, with another picture of them kissing on the bottom right.  The board also shows a golden, old-fashioned plane that they used to escape.  There is a picture of a microchip off to one side that shows the woman fighting a government agent, and a picture on the other side that is marked "top secret."  In the center of the board is a gif of the woman holding a gun and pointing it at the viewer.  She smirks and says “it’s good to see you, too.”  The following message is scrawled across a scrap of paper at the top of the board: “in a game of mind-control, love and choice are always a memory apart.”

Prince Casper, my mind corrected as my right eye twitched. My mouth stayed silent. There was an earnest expression on Darrow's face, one that seemed complementary to the rest of his flat, creaseless features. Even his eyelids were flat—no fold in sight. It was a feature I'd only seen on some dwarves, a few humans. His cold eyes, though open and welcoming, could cut a stone. Every glance sent lightning surging through my veins, and I wasn't even a lightning mage like my Father was. I mean, I could perform all types of elemental magic, but I was a fire mage with minor healing capabilities. Very minor. Not like Amber, with her magic hands.
The point was, Darrow was nice to look at. At least he had that going for him. But now I had a guard to contend with. This complicated things.

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.A dark forest. Snippet.  She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!”
 The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death.
 “Magic should never return.”
 After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended.

After a concert photographer is whisked away to the mysterious Vampire Realm by the bassist of an all-vampire rock band, she must choose between living out her once-forgone rockstar dreams or her own survival.Red and black background with red text at the top that reads "the blurb." The text below reads:
Celia Sharpe's dream of being a rockstar guitarist ended the day an accident wrecked her hand. Now a New York City concert photographer, she strictly focuses on making deadlines. 
But when Celia spots a mysterious stranger at a concert she can’t capture on camera, she follows him down an alley—only to be accidentally transported to the Vampire Realm.
Stranded in a world of monsters, Celia has one goal: return home ASAP. 
But the stranger she followed reveals he's the bassist of all-vampire rock band Mortuus Aeternum, and he offers her a seductive opportunity: the band's flirty guitarist Caliban 
will temporarily heal her hand and chronic illness, then help her home. . .
only if she joins Mortuus Aeternum for one performance with a full vampire audience.
Celia is conflicted: she might be willing to sacrifice her freedom for Caliban's healing magic and a second chance at living her rockstar dreams, but she risks being trapped in the Vampire Realm for one year if she doesn't return home in 3 days. To make matters worse, a ruthless vampire lord has announced blood shortages across the Realm—making Celia the new primary food source.Red and black background with a bright red title that reads THE COMPS.

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.
What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia
