🌳 An Agent's Guide to BETWEEN VIRIDIAN TREES 🌳 A lush, folkloric monster romantasy between a downtrodden candle-seller and the mysterious stranger whose reappearance turns her life upside down. Suddenly embroiled in an ancient conspiracy, Minot must choose: tell the truth now, or lie forever?

Agent's guide page 1. Upon a dark and mysterious forest background is the text: "An Agent's Guide to Between Viridian Trees, a novel by Regan Schell. 130,000 words | Adult Romantasy | Complete Manuscript"

Comp Titles: Princess Mononoke (Environmental destruction, vengeful forest spirits) and Blood Mercy by Vela Roth (forbidden love, misunderstood magical beings).
Tropes, Themes, & Features: cyclical violence, generational trauma, historical narrative, fate versus choice, humans versus nature, magical disease, strange dreams, monsters in the forest, budding industrialism, high stakes, and complex female antagonist.

Excerpt:

Each time Minot’s father told the story, its beginning was the same. A long, long time ago, deep, deep in the woods, before even the ancient witches ruled the primordial land, there existed nothing but monsters and chaos. The sky was an endless sea of black; the oceans vast and bubbling. Humans had not yet risen as the masters of the world, but were still like to creatures themselves. And it was then, in that benighted time, that the beasts of eld laid claim to the forests.
Auguste Cardevine recited the tale almost every night, but unfailingly, Minot listened with bated breath. He spoke the words with his jaw set hard, voice thin, like he was recalling a memory rather than telling a fairy tale. And when he reached the part about the mountain, his timbre grew dark as the night, and Minot had to lean in close to catch each rumbling syllable. This was her favorite bit; the one she replayed in her mind during the smallest hours, when she was meant to be sleeping.
For in that far off time of fantasy, nestled in the bowels of a rocky crevice, there was a boiling vat of pure, untamed magic. From its mouth sprang a never-ending stream of horrors — all shaped and birthed by the evil spirit-god Ashira.
The Mother of Monsters.

A #PosterPit poster for The Cryptid of Sunnyside, a work in progress by Sage T. Greene. A Y2K-style poster. The background is notebook paper. The sides of sparkly gems. There are doodled stars and a UFO. In the title, there is a magnifying glass making the C in "cryptid" larger. The S in "Sunnyside" is one of those "cool esses" people used to doodle in school. There is a moth. There is a retro MP3 player that says 2005 on it. There is a purple gummy bear. There is a Tamagotchi game with Bigfoot on the screen. There is a howling wolf. There is a roller skate. There are footprints. There is a retro computer pop-up that says "We are not alone," with a clickable button that says "OK" and a mouse pointer ready to click. It is signed Sage T. Greene in the lower right corner.
