First line of #pirateWIP: “Ambriel!” The disgustingly handsome captain called across the deck of the Sea Witch. Last line I’ve written: “So you’re saying ___ wants us to find his mate for him?” Ambriel asked. “The mate he treated so poorly she was hidden inside a ___?”

Agent’s Guide to “Mark of a Magpie”! 📖🐦‍⬛ When a small-town thief crosses paths with the kingdom’s big-shot assassin, an unlikely partnership is born; but can their goals align before their egos and secrets land them both a spot on the gallows? #QuestPit #Q #YA #F #R #RF #agentsguide #amquerying

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie”
YA Romantic Fantasy
119k Words

Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines.

Blurb:

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…
Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Gold…
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.
Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it.

The Atmosphere:
There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand.

Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

The Pitch!
It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

Putting my #agentsguide to my dark sapphic romcom with thriller elements here 🖤 KILLING EVE x MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER x RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE! An asthmatic klutz and an unhinged mafiosa break up and accidentally start a mob war. Hilarities ensue 😈 ( #amquerying thread) #P2Ppit #Q #A #R #C

Jackie, Don’t Leave Me! by Sol Zerrudo: An Agent’s Guide

Genre, Dark Sapphic Romcom with thriller elements. Pitch: An asthmatic klutz breaks up with her mafiosa girlfriend and ends up having the Italian mafia coming after her, determined to get the two of them back together, dead or alive. Comparative titles: My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Sutanto, and Killing Eve.

Tropes for Jackie, Don’t Leave Me!: toxic exes, but funny; campy comedy; delicious cat-and-mouse; lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers (sort of); sapphic; dark humor (no, really); unhinged FMC; unbridled chaos; support women’s wrongs™. This book is for fans of: sapphic romance; darkly funny thrillers; cinematic, binge-worthy books; campy humor; stories with queer joy; genre-bendy fun!

Snippet: Chapter One, “Veronica, I want to break up.” My girlfriend dropped the dead body we were dragging and it fell to the ground. I followed suit, dropping my hold on the torso. It rolled on damp soil with a muted, wet thud.

Would you choose immortality? #youdeservepit I present to you House of Valentine. My adult dark gothic fantasy with comparables to the Hunger Games, Interview with a Vampire and a twinge of Romeo and Juliet. Blurb, Moodboard, and journal excerpt included: #A #Q #F #amquerying #querying

A moodboard with a cozy, vintage aesthetic labeled ‘House of Valentine Moodboard’ at the center in elegant cursive text. Surrounding it are nine sections:
1. Open books with text in a serif font, layered on each other.
2. A picturesque village nestled in a lush green valley surrounded by mountains.
3. A minimalistic green wall with a framed painting, books, and candles arranged neatly on a table.
4. A wooden bookshelf filled with old, worn books in dim lighting.
5. Close-up of antique books with leather-bound covers in shades of green and brown, with visible gold detailing on the spines.
6. A café setting with small wooden tables, coffee, pastries, and an open book resting on one of the tables.
7. Handwritten text on sepia-toned paper, evoking a sense of nostalgia.
8. A person wearing red knit fingerless gloves and a cream sweater, touching a tree trunk with an attached piece of text.

The centersquare says house of valentine mood board

A dark, moody moodboard labeled ‘House of Valentine Moodboard’ at the center in elegant cursive text. Surrounding it are nine sections:
1. A hand with clawed nails dragging across wooden floorboards, leaving deep scratches.
2. Text on a textured background that reads, ‘When Night Comes’ in a serif font.
3. A close-up of a golden, cat-like eye with a vertical slit pupil, surrounded by shadowed skin.
4. A wide-open mouth with sharp, pointed fangs
5. A grand ballroom scene filled with people in elegant historical attire, dancing beneath ornate chandeliers.
6. A hand with long, deep red nails holding a glass of dark red wine
7. The word ‘Run’ written in bold serif font on a completely black background
8. A dagger with intricate designs on the hilt resting next to a single stemmed rose and a torn piece of paper with faded text.

Writing in a old journal looking page:

"If you could live for hundreds of 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."
-- Excerpt From Soren Valentine's Journal

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 romantic gothic fantasy filled with sharp fangs, fragile alliances, and a slow-burn romance that will leave you breathless.
