So impressed by today's #BluePit📖! My #agentsguide to FRAGILITY OF SEASHELLS 🐚 🌊 An unexpected inheritance, tacky shell art, dueling in-laws, & Mark Twain’s unconventional wisdom lead Esidora to the shocking truth of her aunt’s death on a remote Maine island 🌲 #A #Q #M #amquerying #writesky

Poster for THE FRAGILITY OF SEASHELLS (adult mystery)

Pitch: Deposited in a mail slot and raised by a moose—that’s how Esidora describes her unorthodox childhood growing up on Maine’s rugged coastline. Now a perpetual astrophysics doctoral student living in Chicago with her fiancé Tremblay (a Twain scholar), returning to Maine is the last thing on her mind… until she notified of her Aunt Beverly’s unexpected death back on Baribeau Island, and the stunning news that she is a co-heir to her aunt’s estate. But when she returns to the remote island to probe for answers and confront her own secrets of the past, peculiar things begin to happen. When Tremblay unexpectedly arrives on the island, the couple borrows from Tom Sawyer’s unique perspective as a fictional detective to unravel the mystery—and startling family secret—behind Beverly’s death.

Themes & Tropes: Remote Island, Unexpected Inheritance, Found Family, Generational Secrets, Amateur Sleuths, Obsessions, Academic Couple, Twainian Wisdom

GRIM PORTENTS HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE A man is murdered by a hell-beast on his wedding day. Now, with the help of the reaper who collected his soul, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell if he wants to return to the life he was robbed of. 👻 #SP #F #H #PN #OWN #GhostPit

Grim Portents cover featuring a skeleton hand holding a feather and emerging from an open book. The title is on a burning banner that envelops the feather and a large beast looms over it all. At the top, the tagline reads: Welcome to the first day of the end of your life…

"I HAD ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF IT WAS A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION, THE MIND PLAYING TRICKS.
IT WAS JUST A SHADOW. BUT NOW THE MONSTER HAD BEEN GIVEN A NAME, AN IDENTITY.
IT WAS REAL."

Bill Baker wants nothing more than to marry the woman he loves, but when his wedding is interrupted by a rampaging hell-beast, his life is thrown into disarray.
Desperate for a second chance, he will do anything to set his future back on track.
Now, with the help of a soul-collecting reaper named Sonny, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell, in order to earn back the life that was stolen from him and prevent the oncoming end of days.
Faced with the choice between what is right and what is easy, Bill may have to sacrifice all he holds dear for one last shot at life.

Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan.

Ad for Grim Portents, featuring a print copy of the book and an ebook on an iPhone. A QR code that takes you to my website and the words “Scan to learn more about debut paranormal fantasy novel Grim Portents” below it. Under that, it says “Available online anywhere books are sold!” And above it all is the tagline “Welcome to the first day of the end of your life”
