🩸🎸🧛‍♂️ETERNALLY DEAD🧛‍♂️🎸🩸 An injured musician discovers a secret world inhabited by vampires after failing to photograph the bassist of an all-vampire rock band. But when blood shortages hit the Vampire Realm, she wonders if living out her rockstar dream is worth dying for. #questpit #a #f #pr #rf #q

Background of concert audience with giant vampire fangs floating above alongside the words "An agent's guide to: Eternally Dead, Adult Paranormal Romantic Fantasy, 107k words, by @katgoestoshows." A one sentence pitch is featured on bottom that reads: An injured musician gets a second shot at stardom -- only its by joining an all-vampire rock band in the blood-thirsty vampire realm. A red splatter of blood is splashed is corner.

Red and black background with red text at the top that reads "the blurb." The text below reads: Celia Sharpe's life-long 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 abandons her job to follow him down an alley—only to be accidentally transported to the Vampire Realm.

Stranded and vulnerable in a world of dangerous monsters, Celia has one goal: return home ASAP. But the stranger she followed reveals that he's the bassist of all-vampire rock band Mortuus Aeternum (Eternally Dead), and he offers her a seductive opportunity: if Celia stays, the band's flirty guitarist Caliban will temporarily heal her hand so she can join Mortuus Aeternum. However, she must perform for audiences of blood-thirsty vampires, of course.

Trapped in the Vampire Realm with no way out, 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 death if she doesn't find a way home. Especially when blood shortages are announced across the Vampire Realm. How will she survive?

Red and black background with a bright red title that reads THE COMPS. Below are four book covers and one movie poster that include brief descriptions beside them. The first is Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London and it's described as an urban fantasy in a vampire setting. Next is Bride by Ali Hazelwood, described as having a steamy romance and political intrigue. Next is The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, described as having a human fighting to survive in a vampire world. Next is a movie poster for Almost Famous, described as music journalist + rock band = forced proximity. Last is the cover of Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, described as having a rock band with secrets and love triangles. The tropes and vibes section includes the following text: grounded fantasy, found family, diverse characters, plot twists, chronic illness rep, slow burn yearning, and twist on fated mates.

Red and black background with large red title that reads THE BAND. Beneath the title are six photos with character names and descriptions beside them. First is Celia, described with bullet points reading guitarist, human, chronically I'll, always late, fiesty. Her photo features a white woman with shoulder length black hair wearing a leather jacket. Next is caliban, described as guitarist, healing powers, super speed, super flirty, hiding something? His photo features a latino man in a white shirt with brown hair and some facial hair. Next is Leo, described as drummer, mind reader, angry and broody, quiet yearning, big trouble? His photo is of a Mediterranean looking man with a beard in a leather jacket. Next is Baz, described as a bass player, shape-shifter, golden retriever, mated to Amina, and too sweet. His photo is of a blonde white man with long hair. Next is Amina, described as band supporter, emotion channels, gets sh*t done, mated to Baz, tired of these men. Her photo is of a black woman with long dark braids. Lastly is Dorian, described as a singer, killer voice, big ego but funny, queer af, and might eat Celia?

Happy #QuestPit afternoon! As the Creature’s countdown accelerates, Nan must find a way to save her friends and escape Rose Bluff Island’s curse before evil’s game reaches its cataclysmic climax. 🌊 ✨THE SEA CURSER✨ a contemporary #speculative novel #Q #A #S #F #amquerying #writingcommunity

Montage of photos from the coast of Maine, with the following text:

A woman’s retreat this time—how absolutely delicious. All those suppressed feelings of guilt, not living up to who they thought they should be. Not living up to their mothers’ expectations of how they choose to live their tiny and insignificant lives. Sisters clasping each other to the bosom in feigned adoration, while stabbing each other with dull and pointless knives.
Do they sense the connections, I wonder? I do. But I’ve orchestrated them, after all. Because this is my chance at redemption. I let one slip away, once before. It will not happen again.
Now, as the inky cusp of darkness chokes twilight’s last claim over the sanctuary that is this island, I lay my pretty little traps while the clock winds down to my fatal finale.
I can already taste their fear.

--The Creature

Excerpt:
I push out against the hardness in front of me. It resists, but only for a few moments. Cracking and crunching noises fill my senses where only the beats were. I push harder. It fights me, but i cannot stop.
Cracks appear in front of me and… whatever it is i’m in is breached. Light and air flood over me and i gasp, drawing in lungfuls of air to sate the burning.
Thu-dump! Thu-dump!
My heart calms now that i have air, but it still beats rapidly. I still have to get out, i am in danger here! Get out and get up!
How do i know all this?
I push again, harder now that i’m breathing again. The cracks widen… and then i’m falling forward out of a large tear. My whole world tumbles, and then i’m half laying on a cold, rough, dirty floor, half hanging out of my vacated prison. I draw in another breath and start coughing, expelling dark liquid out of my lungs, but i am breathing fully and properly now.

THE UNYIELDING MONSIEUR DE BLANC MEXICAN GOTHIC x STARLING HOUSE Dark Southern Gothic w/ Horror elements. 🕯️An orphan seeking security ⌛An immortal man bound by a curse 📰A marriage notice that is a trap Nellie must choose: her heart or her survival #QuestPit #Q #A #HR #H #DR

A dark teal and black patterned card for THE UNYIELDING MONSIEUR DE BLANC. The background has vintage deep shades of pink and purple roses on the top of the frame. Centered is a small hourglass made with bones and a skull symbolizing the immortal + horror elements of the story. There is a note on there that the story is 70,000 words and a Dark Southern Gothic with Horror Elements.

A pitch slide with a deep teal background and black magnolia patterns. A skull with purple and pink roses and more deep pink and purple roses act as decorations. The pitch reads: "The Unyielding Monsieur de Blanc follows Nellie Moore in 1872, lured to a New Orleans estate by a marriage notice promising security. There, she encounters a man as captivating as he is complex, a man bound by a curse that has kept him alive for over a century.
As an impossible attraction sparks, Nellie’s search for the truth reveals that some secrets are meant to stay buried, and some doors, once opened, can never be closed again."

Two book covers adorn the card with deep teal and black magnolia patterns, pink and purple roses framing the bottom.
MEXICAN GOTHIC - The atmostpheric dread and family legacy.
STARLING HOUSE - A cursed, burdened hero

Teal and black magnolia patterns in the background along with a pink and purple rose decoration in the top right corner. Other images include, a candlestick with a burning flame, a pocket watch, a burned newspaper with a woman dressed in 19th century attire. The card includes a snippet of the book as below:

Nellie cleared her throat, and he turned slowly. His broad shoulders squared as he measured her with gray, unflinching eyes.

“I do not care for shadows in my doorway. Step forward.”

Nellie could not speak for a moment. Such a man naturally commanded her. He seemed powerful, severe, and entirely too confident. “I—I beg your pardon, sir,” she stuttered, her voice small in the vast room. “I am Nellie Moore.”

A brief unreadable softness touched his features before he stiffened, his expression once again a mask of stone. “I am Monsieur de Blanc, or Mr. De Blanc, as you Americans prefer.”

His thick French accent was like bourbon; it was smooth, but with a burn that unsettled her. Nellie stared, stunned. This was him, the man she was to marry. She had expected someone older, not this gentleman in his late twenties with a face so...strikingly symmetrical.

“Do find your breath, Mademoiselle. I have enough to manage today without adding a fainting spell to the afternoon’s agenda. I’ve never had much patience for delicate women.”

The insult was a splash of frigid water, bringing her back to herself. The orphan inside of her who spent her days scrubbing floors and managing unruly children suddenly bubbled to the surface. She adjusted the lace on her shoulders and met his gaze with a leveled stare that mirrored his own coldness.

“You needn’t worry, sir,” she said, her voice surprisingly crisp. “I am merely trying to reconcile the man in front of me with the one I was promised in the letters.”

A flicker of mild interest passed over his face. “Is that so?” he murmured, arms folded tightly. “Fortune favors you, then. I am not the man from your letters.”

An Agent's Guide to Careless Whispers, 97k Bookclub
'She knew secrets. Now she's dead. Everyone has a motive.

PITCH - They're like family to her, but when murder is suspected a PR exec must decide how far to go to protect them. They all have a motive. Especially the dead woman's husband. The man she's always loved.

Opening Lines -
As the song fades, she hears the footsteps behind her. She doesn't rise from the lounger or look round. Just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine, fixing her gaze ahead. Beyond the villa's perimeter wall where the wooded slopes fall away, the sea glimmers under the silver coin of a moon.
'I told you to leave,' she says, her voice slurred. 'It's over. There's nothing more to say.'
'I have plenty to say.'
Her head whips round then. She smiles.

Snippet - 'When she died,' Olympia says in a hard voice, 'I was relieved. All I could think was, we're free of her now. Now we can begin to be happy.'
Listy's face spasms. 'But you're not,' she says. 'None of you are. It scares me, Olympia, all this hate. So much hate. Troy has it too. It's like...like it's eating him up. Rianna's dead but she might as well not be, the hold she still has on you all.'
Olympia begins rummaging in the drawer again. 'You didn't know her. You wouldn't understand.'
'I want to. Tell me what happened.'

HEARTLESS HUNTER X SLAVIC FOURTH WING 🎭 She, a humble servant posing as Duchess, is his executioner-to-be. 🐉 He, the arrogant Dragon Prince, must save a kingdom from the encroaching Ever-Dark. 🖤 Neither anticipated falling for the one destined to be their undoing. #questpit #NA #R #F #DF #Q

A gothic-style book cover titled "Root and Ruin." Centered is a glowing, cyan-blue dragon coiled into a circle, its scales etched with faint, runic symbols. Golden, gnarled roots extend downward from the dragon like branching veins against the pitch-black background. Text at the top reads "Enemies to Lovers," "Fated Mates," and "Fake Identity," with "An Agent’s Guide" in the top right. Subtitle reads "80k • NA Slavic Romantasy," and the bottom logline says, "She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation."

A graphic titled "The Comps" in golden lettering. It displays four book covers arranged in a grid: "Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli, "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Witcher: The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

A self-made fantasy illustration showing a halfway transformed, dark-haired man, Prince Konstantin Veliki, with a silver crown and dragon wings. He is carrying a woman, a humble servant Iva, masquerading as a Duchess Zora, in a long, flowing cream-colored gown as they fly through the air. She is his guest but unbeknownst to him, she is plotting to poison him. In the background, a sprawling forest surrounds a magic academy, Kolegium with colorful, traditional Slavic-style onion domes—gold, silver, bronze and green. Each of the domes represents air, water, fire and earth magic respectively. Snippet text at the bottom reads: "Do you always sequester your guests and take flight with them?"

A self-made illustration set in the catacombs under the magic academy, Kolegium, featuring classical-style statues on the walls. Iva, in dark armor, rides a bright, light blue-scaled dragon; it is Prince Konstantin Veliki in his dragon form.
They face off against a monstrous, ethereal shadow dragon composed of wispy, black smoke and glowing eyes — this is Konstantin’s fallen father Tibor Veliki. A brilliant golden sphere of light, relic of the Slavic god of light, Belobog, called Spark of Creation, floats on a pedestal between them. Text at the bottom of the snippet reads: "Let us dance, little one," the Shadow Dragon hisses in a dry whisper of the fallen. "A worthy foe," Konstantin responds. We take to the air to meet the darkness. Two gargantuan winged silhouettes hover in the abyss, suspended in a precarious balance. They mirror one another; two sides of the same coin, champions of Belobog and Chernobog.

As the realms brace for the perilous trials, Agni is confronted with a haunting question: is her prophecy’s fulfillment still yet to come, and is her heart truly hers to lose?

He just wanted some peace and quiet to write and heal. She just needed a place to hide and plot revenge. Neither planned for what truly happened. #Questpit #Q #A #R

An agent’s guide to LOVE ON A DEADLINE, a romcom. (Title page)

Hook for romcom, with characters art.

One flatmate. One kiss. One gorge should have never entered but couldn’t resist.

The long pitch for the romcom. He’s a romance author who can no longer write romance. She’s his old crush seeking revenge from her ex for the heartbreak. Neither planned to fall in love in between.

Comp titles: The American Roommate Experiment, with a splash of Funny Story, and vibes that are full of yearning. Cover images of comp titles included with similarities to my romcom.

Hi #QuestPit, I'm Pat! Presenting my book(s) pitch deck. 💕 ✨AN SOLAS✨ Two young women existing five centuries and an ocean apart, and a war that will see their two worlds collide. #Q #YA #C #S #HFic 👻GHOST CHICK👻 Missing Clarissa x City of Ghosts Querying soon #W #YA #PR #MY

A stormy background with the text: For the Literary Agents in red. An image of a little girl in a pink dress standing in front of an old broken piece of playground equipment on the left side of the screen, and a girl wearing blue jeans and a black tshirt, holding her handbag and a mobile phone walking among battling figures with swords and armour to the right side of the screen.

An image of my novel, An Solas, to the left of the screen, and the text:
An Solas. Two young women existing five centuries and an ocean apart, and a war that will see their two worlds collide.

Kate has a plan for her senior year of high school: stay invisible; maintain her straight ‘A’ grades; and fantasize about Noah. Still being bound to Lilli - a Scottish girl living five hundred years in the past - was not part of the plan. Neither was Noah kissing her at the school dance.
She wants nothing more than to enjoy all the first love feels their new relationship brings, but tensions are rising in the sixteenth century. The storm keeps coming for Kate, snatching her from the present and depositing her in the past whenever Lilli’s in danger. Her anxiety resurges, and it’s a battle to keep her injuries and panic attacks hidden from Noah. With every trip to the past, the stakes rise, and Kate must decide just how far she’ll go to save Lilli... or risk becoming trapped in the past.

A faded image of playground equipment, a teenage boy and young girl, and a teenage girl wearing a brown hoodie with her eyes closed. The text reads: Ghost Chick.
Maddy was nine years old when her little sister went missing. But Chloe didn’t really disappear. Not for Maddy, anyway.
Now Maddy’s sixteen, her OCD is tolerable but she’s hiding her food addiction beneath oversized hoodies and sweatpants. Her mother’s on at her about college, but how can she think about leaving when Chloe’s still following her to school each day and can’t pronounce her ‘L’s? Then twelve-year-old Tyler goes missing.
When Tyler appears at school and realizes Maddy’s the only one who can see him, he forces her secret ability out into the open and it’s posted online for all to see. But as fragments of his memories return and align with Chloe’s own recollections, Maddy must convince her friends to help track down those responsible for any more children disappear.

April 19 #WIPSnips - Signature (Have used 'Sign'.) Kate's been snatched from the present and deposited in the past again. She's found Lilli, now she just needs to work out what danger she's in... ✨AN SOLAS✨ YA Speculative Time Slip ~ 78k words #Querying #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

A background image of galloping horses running at the viewer, and text that reads:
I swallowed hard at the sudden fear gripping my stomach. Looking left and right, I scanned the area for some sign of danger. Everything was quiet. The pair were alone, and completely oblivious to me hiding in the shadows between the two buildings. Was someone else watching them, like I was, from an alley across the street? I probed the darkness with my eyes, hoping like hell nothing bad was there. I had no frigging idea what I'd do if there was.
A movement further down the road behind them caught my eye. I stared hard. Something was moving. The dark smudges sharpened as they drew closer.
I was running before my brain had even registered the danger.
Pins and needles exploded from my numb feed to my thighs as I forced them into action, to sprint across the muddy uneven surface of the road to where the two figures still hurried along, completely unaware they were in the path of runaway horses.
