Any agent interested in a gothic dark romance? which takes place at a university run by an underground secret society? I had been published before but due to the company dissolving unfortunately (not the company's fault) they were amazing. #querying #author #DR

My #agentsguide to CARELESS WHISPERS, a romantic suspense set on a Greek island. REBECCA x RIVIERA x THE PERFECT COUPLE The woman knew secrets; now she's dead. Everyone has a motive... Secrets, Slow❤️‍🔥, Unrequited love, Betrayal, Murder Longlisted for Joffe Books Prize 2024 #LuckyPit 🍀 #PopUpPitA

Page 1 - An Agent's Guide to Careless Whispers, Romantic Suspense, and piece of dialogue: '...our very own Greek tragedy,' says Troy. 'It has it all. Sex, money, adultery. Even - if you believe the rumours - murder.'
Photo alongside it is a of a woman's pressing finger to her lips signifying secrecy.

Page 2 - The Pitch with a blurred photo of a drowned woman alongside it.

'She's always tried to do the 'right thing'. But when a death becomes a suspected murder, a PR exec must decide how far she'll go to protect the people she loves who all have a motive. Especially the dead woman's husband, the man she's in love with.'

Page 3 - Snippet with a photo of a man alongside it.
An unpleasant smile warps his face. He steps closer and leans forward as if they're conspirators. His voice is low and soft, the words a sneer. 'I'm guessing you've not been fighting him off.'
It's hard to breathe. He's too close, his breath on her skin smoky with whisky and cigarettes. She fights the urge to thrust him away. 'No,' she says in a hard voice. 'But then he's not you.'
His head snaps back. The dull flush in his cheeks is evident even in the gloom. 'And you,' he says nastily, 'are not Rianna.'
She gives a humourless laugh. 'From what I gather, that's not a bad thing.'
'He better not hear you say that. He loved her, you know.'

Would you choose immortality? Of course you would. But let me tell you: It’s a lie. A cruel, promise. Because the hunger you live with—No, the hunger that you are—is worse. House of Valentine - 98k words a gothic fantasy w/ a b-plot romance. #PopUpPit #PopUpPitA #Q #F #G #R #booksky #LuckyPit

'House of Valentine' by Taylor Renee. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, overlaid with watercolor illustrations of a skull roses, daisies, and pine trees. The title 'HOUSE OF VALENTINE' is prominently displayed in large, elegant white letters. Below the title, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' and 'AGENT & EDITOR GUIDE' in smaller white font. The overall aesthetic is moody and romantic, with a gothic fantasy vibe.

The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, adorned with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'EXCERPT' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by a poetic passage: 'If you could live for centuries—through famine and plague, through wars that razed cities and left ash in their wake, that not even a bomb crashing through your home could destroy you—would you choose immortality? Wouldn't you dream of such a gift? To remain as you were as the world crumbles around you, and rebuilds itself, endlessly? Of course you would. That’s the allure, isn’t it? The whispered fantasy of endless time, of infinite existence. But let me tell you: it’s a lie. A cruel promise. Because after enough centuries, you begin to wish for the plague to ravage your body, to tear through your flesh and wring you dry of life. You begin to long for the bomb to shatter you, burn away your skin until you’re nothing but bone and ash. You’d pray for the famine to hollow you out, for hunger to gnaw at your insides so violently that you might finally collapse under the weight of mortality. Because the hunger you live with—No, the hunger that you are—is worse.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple.

The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, embellished with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'BLURB' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by the blurb: 'When anthropology student Hazel Adler travels to a remote Swiss village for her thesis, she expects folklore and forgotten traditions—not a hidden world of vampires, deadly politics, and a centennial festival that’s more nightmare than celebration. She was never meant to survive it. Her only lifeline? Soren Valentine—a vampire with a past as blood-soaked as his fangs. As the lines between myth and reality blur, Hazel must fight to survive in more ways than one. Trusting Soren may be her only chance—but the monster who saved her life hides dangerous secrets of his own. Survival means risking everything. House of Valentine is a gothic fantasy filled with sharp fangs, fragile alliances, and a slow-burn b-plot romance that will leave you breathless.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple.

'House of Valentine' by Taylor Renee, focusing on tropes, themes, and comps. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, adorned with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The text 'TROPES & THEMES & COMPS' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by a list of tropes and themes: 'ROMEO & JULIET, BEAUTY & THE BEAST, ALLIES TO LOVERS, MORALLY GRAY CHARACTERS, VAMPIRE SOCIETY, SLOW BURN.'

“Time to step out of the cage,” he replied. Her brows furrowed. “You remind me of a little bird,” Silas continued, his tone shifting slightly, as though the words had a deeper meaning than he was letting on.
“A little bird?” Alethea scoffed, her chin tilting up in defiance. “And what’s that supposed to mean?”
He shifted on his feet, his voice lower than before, “Yes. The cage is open, and yet you still don’t fly.”
Alethea’s lips parted, the words cutting into her like a sharp blade. “Birds with clipped wings fall. They don’t fly,” she retorted, her voice tinged with bitterness.
Silas’s lips curved into a sly smile, his eyes gleaming with something dark and knowing. “Oh, you’ll fly… trust me.”

There is a collage of pictures in front of ocean water.

Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture three shows a group of rich party-goers climbing a marble staircase. Picture four shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture five is of a chair by the window of a ship, looking out on ocean waters and a ship in the distance. Picture six shows two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture seven shows an old tavern shelf shocked with whiskey. Picture eight is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture nine is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand.

Surrounding the collage are gold outlines of flowers.

“Yeah?” I said. “Where else am I going to go? Ask my mom if I can borrow the car so I can avoid the family overstimulating me?”
“I’m your only option?”
“No, there’s always your mom,” I said.
He rolled his eyes.
“I’m busy,” he said.
“Doing what?”
“I have shit to do for work,” he said. “And the cat sitter keeps calling me about things that are not an emergency. And you show up and you just want to hang out. I don’t have any new trauma to dump on you today.”
“So, you want me to leave?” I said.
“Please, Jasper, get out of my room before I do something without thinking it through,” he said. “We’ll both get hurt.”
“Oh, so you want to f*** me, don’t you?” I said.
“I don’t know if I can do this again,” he said. “I gave you everything and you threw me away.”

After returning to her family’s crumbling estate and finding the gardener dead, a reluctant heiress partners with his son to break a generational curse before it claims her too. 🕯 Gaslight, Gatekeep, Ghosts 🔥 If the House Doesn’t Kill You, Love Might #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #H #A #Gothic

Nineteen-year-old Lottie Bradbury is called home to her crumbling family estate with an ultimatum: marry or let the Bradbury name die. But in a post-war world where old traditions are crumbling and women are claiming new independence, Lottie refuses to be controlled.

Her introduction is disrupted when the gardener is found dead, his skull shattered on the manor steps. His son, Arthur, warns Lottie that the house is hungry, that it killed his father—just as it did her mother a decade ago. And it’s not finished.

Determined to seize control of her own fate, Lottie digs into the manor’s past, only to realize the house has other plans. Strange footsteps at night. Whispers slithering through the halls. Shadows shifting where none should be. Arthur insists the manor is alive, feeding on the sins of her ancestors, that her family is cursed. But he’s not the only one keeping secrets, and the deeper she digs, the harder it is to know who to trust.

THE LAST HEIR OF BRADBURY MANOR is a slow-burn gothic horror set in 1919, blending the creeping dread of The Hacienda with the sentient menace of Starling House. A tale of inheritance, obsession, and a house that refuses to let go. The manuscript is complete at 96,000 words.

Comps for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor:

Starling House: Dark inheritance, Family secrets, Sentient house

The Hacienda: Unresolved grief, Psychological unraveling, Supernatural dread

Crimson Peak: Decaying grandeur, Gothic vibes

But now the monster had been given a name, an identity.
It was real."

Ever After X Serpent and Dove With no fairy godmother in sight, Archduchess Elsebeth must choose between her place in the succession and the peasant she loves—and he doesn’t even know who she really is. #PopUpPitA #LuckyPit

From left to right, top to bottom: a pinto horse leaping in a field; a strawberry shaped like a heart; a brown draft horse in plow harness;
A gold domino mask and an ivory domino mask on a black background; a dark metal crown resting on an open book; a blue and silver domino mask over an ivory baroque shoe; and a field of daisies with the sun on a mountainous horizon.
