An image of a woman with her head cropped out and a grisly montage of a human heart run through with flowers and a ribcage over her chest, surrounded by twisting vines. Text reads: Mexican Gothic X Severance, Woodbine.

All Viv wants is to live a quiet life topping underground fight pits and beautiful women 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

But a fascist regime rips apart her home and murders her mentor in their hunt for her magic.

They won't let her have peace? Fine. She'll wield the power they'd burn the world to erase.🗡🔮

For clarity, I am posting today for DVpit about two MS. Both sapphic!

VEILSTRIDER is a NA dark romantasy. Political intrigue, found family, morally gray. High fantasy set in a poly queer-normative world.

DAUGHTER OF THE DAMNED is the YA Urban Fantasy /PR. Demonic cults, missing mom, possessed ex.

Fourth Wing X Priory of the Orange Tree

A dragon has bonded with a healer, and if she refuses the partnership, it’ll kill her

To survive, she’ll need to rely on the dragon prodigy’s mentorship and stay away from the students who want to sabotage her

After a dragon bonds with a healer, the only way she’ll survive training is with help from the dragon prodigy, a man she absolutely hates…

…until she discovers his true, kind self hidden beneath his tough-as-scales exterior

I know they call this the trenches, but I never expected my own CHARACTERS to reject my queries 😅

A mock query rejection email with a pearl bead background: Text: Dear Sara, Thank you for wasting my time with your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. For future reference, please note that I'm only open to multi-POV YA fantasy where the sapphic childhood-besties-turned-lovers don't get a happily-ever-after. Side note: A scorned ghost pirate trapped inside the head of a closeted princess until they both learn to help each other come out? How original. Regrets, Princess Mira View your query status page at QueryTracker.net/portal/give-up-dummy. A mock query rejection email with a gold coin background. Text: Sara, Thank you for considering me for the most torturously feel-good, insufferably hopeful-even-in-its-bleakest-moments novel I've ever had the displeasure of reading. I suggest you jump ship on writing and take on a more practical hobby like swashbuckling, rum drinking, or breaking the curse that has me stuck inside the head of this whiny princess (thanks for that, by the way). Kick bricks barefoot, Captain Amir View your query status page at QueryTracker.net/portal/I-hate-you A mock query rejection email with an ocean wave background. Text: Hi Sara, Thank you so much for your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. While I truly admired the 82,000 word count, non-Western fantasy setting, and LGBTQ+ representation, unfortunately, I will have to pass. I would, however, like to offer a minor suggestion to change the title to THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHANNA, as I believe this better reflects the titular character's gender identity. Best wishes, Johanna View your query status page at QueryTracker.net/portal/Protect-Trans-Kids A mock query rejection email with a bloody background. Text: Ms. Duran, The empire has scrupulously reviewed your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN, and has found that beneath the lighthearted, adventurous story of queer joy and acceptance is a truly blasphemous critique of the colonization of the Global South. We will be passing, but please do keep us in mind for any future projects featuring white, male, cis-het protagonists, preferably in settings inspired by medieval Europe. Regards, General Genovese View your query status page at QueryTracker.net/portal/is-this-one-pushing-it?-maybe-lol

The chosen one is dead.
The prophecy unfulfilled.
The shape-shifting dragons left cursed to be puppets to their dragon kings.

It's up to a ragtag team of high school shifters to break the curse and take down the kings ruling the secret magical society of modern day earth.

A fake movie poster featuring the silhouette of a girl in front of a dark, cloudy sunset. The title across the middle reads "Child of the Dragon" Across the very top in small text it reads "a young adult contemporary fantasy." The tag line at the top center below the genre tag reads "if we have hope, we have an army." in the top corners are two "reviews" bracketed in gold laurel wreaths like a movie award. The top left reads in all caps "The boys are kissing!" -a beta reader. The top right reads shows a keyboard smash also credited to a beta reader. Beneath the title are three "tropes" that read "Found family," "the chosen one is dead," and "cursed dragons" Beneath that reads "From Inked in Gray press, February 2026, Ashley N. Y. Sheesley, Add now on goodreads, storygraph, and Indie Story Geek."

A soft, pink background with roses through a hazy screen. It's set up a bit like a movie poster with the title across the center: HOPE, BE IT NEVER SO FAINT. Across the top, the tag line reads "ask me one more time" with two reviews bracketed in laurel leaves. The first reads "hot redheaded robin hood gay panic forever -advanced review" and "I wish I could send this back in time to my teenage self. -goodreads reveiw" Beneath the title are the "tropes" but in the same way movies have the main actors' names. It says "robin hood retelling, "You shot me first," and Happily ever after." My name: Ashley N. Y. Sheesley is across the bottom in a white box, and at the very bottom it reads "Artifice & Access Now available wherever books are sold"

UNDERTOW

The ship shone on the Bering Sea’s black waters from miles away like a Christmas tree. It stood 16 stories above the water, its name proud and visible across the bow: Снегурочка.

Images of crab fishermen, a macabre creature, a derelict cruise ship, a ruined hallway with an open door, and an abandoned ballroom. “UNDERTOW The Thing meets Deadliest Catch When a crab boat crashes into a Russian luxury liner, an embattled rookie crabber convinced his crew mates to salvage the vessel, only to find themselves hunted by the necrotic horror lurking within it. If you’re lucky, it ONLY kills you.”
