Shy and awkward; 16yo Prince Charming despises his name. When his wish is unexpectedly granted he is transported to The Lands and finds he's eligible bachelor No1. It’s no ordinary fairy tale quest and something is scarily amiss with those Godmothers. #JoyPit #YA #FTA #HA

Top row: A frog on a lily pad wearing a crown. A portrait of a young man, with golden hands wrapped around his neck/shoulders; the oval of his face is missing and shows a path to a tall window. A white horse walking out of mist.
Bottom row. A Woman in a long blue dress and black cloak. A shiny red apple. An open book with sparkles rising from the pages. A tree groing on a bank, the roots visible.

Query blurb: In Betwixt
When Emily starts work as a night receptionist at an old British coaching inn she anticipated new-job challenges. The staff and guests of the hotel seem friendly, but also a little…different. She discovers a world of witches, werewolves, vampires and dryads; and that’s just her colleagues. One of the guests, a necromancer, starts a fight to distract the staff and Emily is the only one free to chase after him to a local churchyard. Destroying the spell and battling the angry necromancer she realises she was too late as the decaying body rises from the grave. She is initially horrified, before realising that the dead man, Kenneth, is only dreadful on the outside. He was an old-fashioned gentleman and remains so, and he’s desperate for a pint before the pub shuts.
When Kenneth is captured, the vengeful necromancer abducts Emily to sell on the occult black market, where naïve young women are merchandise. She wakes in a Spanish town, a transport hub for this other world, and must escape before she’s trafficked. She doesn’t know where to go or who she can trust, so it would be foolish to try and rescue Kenneth, but she can’t bear to leave him to a fate literally worse than death.

My cat, Barry, is training to be a game NPC with a quest. I think he’s getting better at it. Personally I’m too scared to ask him for that quest! #cat #NPC #gamequests Credit to my daughter for the second pic. I think she’d make a great pet photographer!

Medusa: Raped, Disfigured, Cursed. She’s mourned her sons for an eon but discovering her equine child, Pegasus, might still be alive she’ll risk anything. Even her ancient enemies - one wants her dead, the other desires her at any cost. Luckily she has friends in low places. #BluePit 📖 #A #F #Q

A picture of the skyline of London with the gherkin and walkie-talkie buildings. A tidy therapist office. A bust of Athena wearing a helm (currently in the British Museum, London). A Pegasus rearing. A painting of how the acropolis above Athens might have looked in its prime. A monstrous face appearing from the dark, with reptilian eyes and red maw.

Millennia of lies are the least of Medusa's problems; C’mon kill you with a look? Try spiteful gods who only stopped hunting because you faked your death. When a Pegasus feather is found there is nothing on Earth or Olympus that will stop her seeking her equine son. #BluePit 📖 #A #Q #F
