Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia

An Agent’s guide to WHAT ARE THE CHANCES, 90,000 words, Adult Historical Mystery

The pitch-

Chicago, 1929.

Val’s life in her adoptive crime family’s hotel used to be nothing but bartending and calculating guests’ cards with her mathematical brilliance. But then her uncle Maximillian, the head of the syndicate, is killed before the hotel’s star-studded gala—and his death is identical to her secret suitor’s unsolved murder. With the chance for revenge in her grasp, Val allies with an infamous investigative duo to catch the killer.

Chicago, 1929
1:34 a.m.

The man with the bowler hat was going to lose.
He looked so confident, with his slightly unbuttoned white shirt and condescending smirk. He didn’t even bother putting up the mask of a poker face to hide his prediction of the outcome. In his mind, he had already won. All that was left was to play the game.
Valentina had been watching the round for several minutes now. She twisted a rag inside a dirty glass, keeping a subtle eye on the match. She couldn’t see the man’s hand from behind the bar, but if she had calculated it correctly, there was a seventy-four percent chance that he was holding two kings and three different nine cards— a full house. With a hand like that, he was in the perfect position to win. But he was wrong. He was going to lose.
Val didn’t know this because of mathematics, however. She knew this because the man sitting across from him never played fair. Why would he? He was the owner of the joint, and if there was anything that Maximillian Eulio liked more than playing a dirty game of poker, it was getting away with it.

Tangle and Tether Teen scientist Brilliance Overland and her bestie Annie complete her late mother's quantum wormhole tech! They escape to a promising world beyond. But something breaks that promise. Their exploration is mired in loss, loneliness, and a childhood bond that no longer works. #BluePit

Old school looking book cover: Ominous redheaded girl overlooking the Earth.
Book title, Tangle and Tether, Brilliance of Earth, Book One.

More about the book:

Brilliance Overland is a prodigy who craves answers and adventure. Her invention— latticed entanglement aperture passthroughs (LEAP)—opens a quantum-based wormhole to a world more advanced, yet far more backward than she imagined. With her best friend Annie, Brilliance enrolls at Avram Circle, the premier science academy in a system of interlinked worlds, hoping to unravel their origins. But in a place where every relationship is entangled, every truth is knotted with lies, and every discovery leads to deeper complexity, Brilliance finds that her will and scientific principles alone can’t untangle the mess.

Brilliance relies on Annie’s empathy to navigate the social brambles rooted in this new world, but as Brilliance buries her own “unproductive” feelings, Annie’s patience frays. When their friendship is tested, Brilliance must confront the tethers that bind her: Unspoken grief for her mother, whose voice and lessons echo as AI in her mind; the causal chains that connect her actions to unintended consequences; and the realization that even in a universe of infinite possibility, some bonds—of love, loss, and home—are impossible to sever.

To survive forces that want to control them, Brilliance must learn that true understanding isn’t just about unraveling mysteries, but about embracing the beautiful, messy tangle of relationships and the tethers that hold us together—even across worlds.

Themes:
- Quantum entanglement as a metaphor for the complexity and messiness of relationships, regardless of time or distance.
- Tethering as both a source of strength (home, love, memory) and a challenge (grief, responsibility, causality)
- The interplay between scientific genius and emotional intelligence
- The search for origins—of worlds, of self, of the bonds that shape us

NAUSICAÄ X FF7 Nature is decaying, nobles are hoarding magic, and demons prey on everyone. A possible chosen one, a man who failed his destiny, and a woman rejected by fate must work together for one last chance to save the dying world. #BluePit 📖 #A #F #Q #agentguide

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.

Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.

A dark forest. Comps. Nausicaä. One Dark Window. The Starless Crown. Godkiller. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Tropes. Chosen One (s)? Ecofantasy. Dieselpunk. Grumpy/Sunshine. LGBTQIA+. Multi POV.

A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!”
The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death.
“Magic should never return.”
After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended.
Sent him back to his body.

GOOD BOYS ONLY🐾🌿 A plus-size baddie dog sits to survive after her ex leaves her—then she meets a guy in the personal care aisle who’s everything her ex wasn’t: loyal, patient & in desperate need of a dog sitter…which might just ruin her plan to swear off love forever #BluePit📖 #Q #A #R

Good Boys Only cover page. Stock images of a plus-size white woman, and a plus-size white man with tattoos. Agent's Guide, 89,000 words, adult-plus-size rom-com. Images of polaroid pictures with stock images, including tattooed hand-holding, a Red Wings game, and a corgi + golden retriever. On a green background with Sydney and Owen repeated in a transparent deboss over the background

Good Boys Only pitch. Includes a stock image of a man with tattoos, and a plus-size woman. Emoticons of a pawprint and leaf. Split green background with sage green and light green. With this text: After her boyfriend of six years moves out, retail manager Sydney Bennett is barely hanging on—juggling long shifts and a side hustle dog-sitting to tide her over. When she meets Owen Sutton in the personal care aisle after a rant about two “demonic Pomeranians,” he’s instantly charmed—and in need of a sitter for his own, much better-behaved dogs.

What starts as a business arrangement turns into something gentler and deeper: a slow-burning romance between two people still healing from betrayal. But as Sydney faces losing her apartment and the past comes back to haunt Owen, they’ll have to decide if the safety they’ve found in each other is worth risking their hearts for.

Sample page and comp titles. Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings. You, With a View by Jessica Joyce. Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen. Young & Hungry (TV Show). Text: “I hate to admit it, but you might be onto something,” I say with a small smile.
“A compliment? From the chef herself? Whew, I’m gonna need to sit down.” Owen beams at me, and it’s a blast of electricity straight to my heart. “But think about it—you can finally get out of retail hell. I can help you, too. With a business plan. I’m kinda good at that stuff.” His grin turns sheepish before he dips his pinky finger into the sauce, sneaking a taste.
My body processes the feeling before I do, and I lean closer to him, a newfound buoyancy floating across my limbs. “You’d do that for me?”
“I’m not sure when you’ll get it through your pretty head that I’d do anything for you, Syd. Literally anything you asked.” He steps toward me, body radiating heat like the oven, casting me in a warm glow.
His words have my stomach sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Tension circles the space between us, grasping the string and yanking us impossibly close. I scan across him, the art decorating his perfect form, and it’s suddenly a bucket list item to be part of his canvas. “Would you get a tattoo for me?”
Owen’s nostrils flare and he squeezes his fists, as if he can feel the sting of the needle inking me onto him. “What’d you have in mind?” he chokes out.
I crane my neck. He’s so close, eclipsing the steam from the pan surely teetering toward burnt. I can’t find it in me to care. “I think a sage leaf sprig would suffice, since you do love using my middle name.”
“I’m not opposed. Where would you want it? Somewhere hidden? Where you’d only see it if I let you? Maybe front and center for a daily reminder of you?” He shifts. Our chests brush. Breathing is an illusion, a magic trick. I’ve never drawn in a breath in my life.

Good Boys Only Tropes: black cat x golden retriever, stranger to lovers, she's his dog sitter, confident plus-sized FMC, facetimes & texts, found family, he falls first his dogs fall harder, set in Michigan, starting over at 30, when the spice hits... The Couple. Two images with Sydney Sage Bennett text over a plus-size woman, and Owen James Sutton over an image of a tattooed man. Text: 30, Aquarius | Retail Ops Manager Empathetic. Competitive. Amazing cook. Loves hockey. Sarcasm as a shield. Pilates girlie. Brunch is her love language. Poor spending habits. Younger sister. Sworn off relationships to focus on herself. 31, Cancer | National Events Manager. Patient and loyal. Flirty. Loves hockey. Bottles everything up. Former company co-founder. Amazing dog dad.

Title: Pitch
Text:
In the twenty years since the vampires rose up out of the earth, Corado hasn’t done too bad for himself. He’s still alive, for one, and he’s got a lucrative trade as a nightrunner smuggling people beneath the vampiric horde that blots out the sky each night. It's dangerous work, but enough to get a roof over his head and a bottle in his hand at the end of the day. That’s pretty good for life under the vampires.

Then an attack from the horde leaves him stuck in the desert, alone with a newly-orphaned boy, and his luck finally dries up. He resolves to find what remains of the boy’s family and put it all behind him—but instead of taking him off Corado’s hands, his so-called “family” offers a new deal: escort them to the vampiric capital in exchange for a veritable fortune.

Corado knows he shouldn’t. It’s a long, dangerous route, and the group has a smack of sedition to them that he knows firsthand to be a quick way to a bloody death.

It is a hell of a lot of money, though.
