I wouldn't get frustrated with my blind friend for not seeing words on a page or a deaf person for not hearing the words I speak. So I realized this morning that I need to give more grace to my friends who are able to see or hear truth. Ephesians 4:17-19 Romans 1:21-22

A sepia/gray toned gothic collage. It features a dark haired woman holding a candle, a ghostly hand reaching from inside an elegant mirror, a pair of ravens touching their beaks while perched on a branch in front of a stately house, a translucent white ghostly woman dancing through a Victorian parlor, a closeup of a ouija board, and two women in a romantic embrace touching their foreheads together.

Meet Krutch Leeroy. He isn't a bad guy. Just cursed with a bad reputation. Literally. #QuestPit #P #A #F
Mood board for KRUTCH LEEROY of the fantasy novel series GRAYLANDS. Images emphasize his beleaguered and put-upon nature as he gets dragged into adventures he doesn't want, plus his weapon of choice and a suggested history with a sorceress.

Top Row
- a man, played by Brian O'Halloran in CLERKS, is slumped miserably over the counter in the convenience store he works
- a pirate, played by Johnny Depp in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, frantically flees from angry pursuers with a panicked look on his face

Second Row
- a witch, played by Cassandra Gava in CONAN THE BARBARIAN, stands at the entrance of her hut, waiting for someone
- a man, played by Jeff Bridges in THE BIG LEBOWSKI, looks perplexed while stirring a drink in his hand
- a revolver pistol

Third Row
- a heavily bandaged man, played by Tom Hanks in THE 'BURBS, lays on a gurney and complains "I don't care! I've been blown up! Take me to the hospital!"
- a cartoon drawing of Charlie Brown failing to kick a football after Lucy has pulled it away from himBanner for M. Walsh's fantasy novel "The Jinxed Pirate" with the tagline, "Being dead inside isn't for everyone..."

Also shows cover blurb:
"Graylands is where people go when they don’t want to be found.
"Within this unsettled country of drifters and outlaws is a city where the worst of the worst gather. A place of thieves, brigands, and murderers known as Seba. In Seba, law is an illusion and order is kept through cruelty and bloodshed.
"On the run from Sentry Elite and bounty hunters, supposed pirate Krutch Leeroy finds himself in this bloody city where his infamous reputation garners him the attention of Seba’s various feuding powers. Despite his efforts to lay low, Krutch is soon caught in the center of backstabbing schemes and deadly plots.
"Meanwhile, after the disaster on the Blind Cliffs, fallen princess Katrina Lamont finds herself nearing rock bottom. Her drinking and temper worse than ever, she sets out on a desperate quest to find what remains of her people. Her journey will also lead her to Seba, where she will tread the line between salvation and damnation.
"Amidst this are the Synclaires—a family just moved to Graylands in the hope of a fresh start. However, chance of fate and rash decisions will draw the family into a sinister plot that threatens to bring tragedy and doom to their door.
"As Krutch, Katrina, and the Synclaires face threats from all sides, they will each unwittingly find themselves caught in a battle that may destroy the delicate balance keeping Seba from consuming itself in chaos."

The book cover and background image depicts a black-bladed sword covered in blood and stuck in the ground. Around the sword, a medieval city is on fire.

THE STRANGER (CAMUS) X DOGMA A middle eastern atheist jumps from a bridge & finds himself in Heaven with God. Heaven's pretty monochromatic and lacking in #DEI initiatives. God tells him he’s Jesus Christ, but the man has no memory of this. Things seem right, until they go wrong #questpit #W #A #F

God Forbid
When he wakes up, he’s in a warm, soft bed with a warm, soft comforter. He pushes himself up and looks around the unfamiliar room. Frowning, he searches for something, anything to tell him where he is...

DIVINE RIVALS X EMILY WILDE 🎓Academic rivals to lovers ✨Language-based magic system 🏰Cosy w/ gothic undertones 😌Sopping wet pathetic loser MMC 💖Cultures surviving against all odds 🙅‍♀️Rejects the notion of autistic people as cold & unfeeling #questpit #ag #romantasy #editors
Pitch: An academic rivals to lovers romantasy where the weaponisation of altered mythology and the vilification of an isolated god act as allegories for stifling oppressed voices and how the alienation of neurodivergent people perpetuates their inherent feelings of wrongness.

Featuring: 
cosy, gothic undertones
gentle FMC and babygirl MMC
dual POV and dual timeline
sopping wet, pathetic loser MMC
spice (romantic) 
endless pining

Tropes:
grumpy x sunshine
he falls first
wound cleaning
rivals to lovers
amnesia
forced proximity

Comp titles: 
Addie LaRue, Divine Rivals, Emily Wilde, Tales of a Monstrous Heart, A Study in Drowning, and Modern DivinationTitle: A Mortal Drowning by Rhian Parry

Blurb:

A mortal man with no memory of his past and a goddess the earth has no memory of compete for their enchanted university’s magic in a world where the language that sustains magic is dying.

Olwen, a solar goddess, needs the prize to escape an ex lover with murderous intent while Arthur, a mortal man, needs it to recover his memory as the sole survivor in a string of men  found drowned with magic in their lungs. But with rumours of stirring deities intent on desolation haunting crumbling shores, and the magic that once saved a nation from falling to the bottom of an ocean on the brink of extinction, time is running out.

As Olwen and Arthur’s academic rivalry intensifies, as does their unlikely romance, and it becomes apparent that Arthur’s missing past may be better off keeping buried. One thing is for certain: whichever student misses out on the prize will have their own extinction to worry about.
