Overlaying the hair and horns are six gold circles, each with a different design.

Sirensong: by Taylor Coffman
133,00 words
Sci-Fi/Romance

Tropes: complicated twins, found family, mind control, found family of nerds, disability rep, slowburn. Themes: power/corruption, queer normality, good/bad subversion, hunting CEOs.

Opening Line: The last day of life as I knew it began with a thunderstorm.

The rain slammed the pavement in sheets, creating a dark, slick look that reminded me of spilled oil. I could hear it drumming against the windows, a fuzzy background static that blended well with the sickly gray tint of the sky. It was mid-day but it looked like dusk, and on the one hand I was never happier to be in a dry, warm office.

On the other hand, I have never hated my job more.

An #agentsguide for my adult fantasy SHADOW’S GIFT. A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS x MIDNIGHT BARGAIN, it includes soul-based magic, a sub-tropical world, and an exploration of loyalty, love, and self-actualization under totalitarianism. #p2ppit #F #A #Q

Comps: Midnight Bargain, A Song to Drown Rivers, The Jasmine Throne.

Pitch: When a young woman discovers the queen severed her subjects' souls to gain power, she must decide who to betray -- her own hopeful, broken soul, or her husband, the prince she is learning to love.

Opening lines. When emptiness gnawed, Syrala painted. Her grandmother had taught her: Seek solitude and focus on the paper. Leave room for emptiness. Let the lines and the spaces be meditation. It will ease the ache, for now.
Weeks of palace banquets, hunts, smiles, and saccharine small talk culminated tonight, in the Selection. The queen had ordered the candidates to pray before her announcement, but Syrala could not bring herself to file obediently to the prayer hall. Court activities and judgement had worn at her until she felt as parched as clay earth before the seasonal Rains. At the thought of the other candidates’ self-serving protestations, a bottomless well yawned within her. Syrala yanked off her palace silks, threw on a simple cotton blouse and skirt, snatched up her painting bag, and bolted out into the fiery afternoon sun, and into the water gardens.

Worlds collide when a dark queen's journey to break her curse forces her to take a human prisoner back to her realm. His brother will do anything to find out what happened, including infiltrating an exclusive nightclub where men seem to disappear. #P2Ppit #a #f #q #amquerying 📖

A graphic with wrath of a Wildflower in the center. Bubbles of text around it say: Morally grey, urban fantasy, cursed dark queen, two realms, dual pov, romance, missing brother, new adult

The pitch. Decades ago, the princes of Lucis realm cursed her before they left to take over earth. Liming the days she can cross realms to hunt them and forcing her to take a mortal soul each visit has made killing the princes difficult, but not impossible. Now she is finally closing in on the prince with the key to breaking her curse, but she doesn't know that one of the mortal monsters she took on her journey to vengeance has a very loyal brother. Ryland finally has the job he needs at greeds, the exclusive nightclub where his brother was last seen two years ago. As he gets closer to discovering what happened to his brother and a trail of other missing men, he meets a beautiful partner to help him with the hunt. Together they find that their government is lying to them and monsters are real. And they are hunting one.

Book comps: the book of azreal, city of gods and monsters, throne of the fallen

My best friend and I used to make up stories to each other every lunch break. We started when we were 8, and the stories featured our very adventurous 'imaginary friends'. It developed from there into many short stories that we'd share with each other. I guess I just never stopped hallucinating.
