On Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, we honor those who've lost a loved one while serving our nation.

Their tremendous sacrifices—and the loss they continue to carry—will never be forgotten, and we can never stop working to provide them with the support they deserve.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × JUMANJI

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written campaign.

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title. Made with stock images and/or fair use license.

In 1998, I was arrested for murder after a miscarriage.
A plea bargain was my only way out.
A world where women can be punished for what goes on with their bodies is a very scary place.

More than agent and even publisher interest, getting the crew of @dungeonsanddads.bsky.social in on this would be all I need from life.

Maybe #QuestPit can help me get there!

Thank you everyone for all the support. You're amazing 😁

KING OF SLOTH x GOD OF FURY x PERFECT ADDICTION

She's healing a heart wrapped in silk carrying scars like armour.
He's a broken monster with blood on his hands and a hunger for chaos.
the (new) dedication of the book that will HOPEFULLY stay as it is unless it goes through another change <3 the book features my bangladeshi fmc, mahira and my puerto rican mmc, valentino !! the tropes of the book, not including the various microtropes throughout !! the comps of the book, though the third comp is a movie comp and has a book by the original author itself—i prefer the movie more over the book of the same name, hence i'm comping the movie adaptation instead of the original book <33

#agentguide for WHEN THE MAGPIE FLIES (81k queer fantasy)

When troublemaker and hobbyist scholar Magpie is chosen by the spirits, she breaks an ancient tradition rather than leave her best friend behind—and brings the wrath of spirits and humans alike down upon the realm.

#questpit #Q #F
Text: An agent’s guide to When the Magpie Flies by M H Wottenmoss. Background of mountains, trees, and a giant mushroom. A magpie flies in the sky. Pitch: Magpie of Lornwhen, hobbyist scholar and incurable troublemaker, dreams of becoming a Conduit. As the realm’s only defense against monstrous spirits, Conduits are beloved and privileged—and it’s Magpie’s best chance to escape the undertow of poverty. When a spirit chooses her for the honor, marking her with a cold, entrancing touch, her dream is suddenly within reach. To fully ascend as a Conduit, Magpie, alongside the other newly-chosen, must embark on a journey into the heart of the spiritwoods. The only thing holding her back is her best friend, Calladonna. There are rumors about how Conduits are changed by the mysterious journey, and Calla can’t shake the feeling that if Magpie leaves, she won’t come back. Determined to reassure her, Magpie convinces Calla to come along in secret, hidden from the other Conduits. For the first time, Magpie’s future is bright and shining—until one of the other Conduits turns up dead, and it seems like Calla may be to blame. Comps: A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft: clueless lesbians, murder and betrayal, journey of ascension. Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher: found family, humor and darkness, perilous quest. Also featuring undiscovered magic, monstrous spirits, chaotic academia, ill-advised rituals, haunted forest, queer & autistic ensemble cast, giant mushrooms, original music Opening lines: The world went dark just after she jumped off the roof. In one moment she could see the clocktower before her, the ledge beneath its defunct face familiar and inviting, and in the next there was nothing. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence, necessarily, but damn if that wasn't inconvenient timing.

Uprooted to a new town with a grieving, distant father, she latches onto the first person who shows her warmth—Emily Harper, a precocious classmate with a big heart and an even bigger need to help. What begins as innocent friendship festers into decades of obsession, manipulation, and a love so warped it leaves one girl dead, and the other wondering if she even knows how to survive a life without her.” Slide 3: Same background.

The Crown + The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

When Plum discovers her husband is a runaway prince, returning to his kingdom unearths a dangerous secret about her own past—forcing her to choose between reclaiming her birthright or protecting the family she loves.

#Querypit #A #WF #Q
A book with a crown on the cover and snow falling, titled Back Where I Belong. Arrows point from the book to various words that say: Reclaiming power, second chances, estranged family relationships, found family, grounded royalty, hidden identity, legacy and lineage, looking for belonging, self-discover, and unresolved grief. At the very top in faint white font it says: A love letter to anyone who's ever thought they weren't enough if someone really knew them. Two books that are comparable to this writer's story. One is, The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. The comparison is: grounded royal intrigue & sisterly tensions. The other book is The unsinkable Greta James by Heather E. Smith. It's compared with: Estranged family relationships plus healing and finding yourself. A picture of various songs that lend a mood to this person's book. They include: Say something by Jasmine Thompson, Runaway by AURORA, How Do I Say Goodbye by Dean Lewis, Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, Jealous by Labrinth, and The Sound of Silence by Distrubed. A book with a crown on it and snow falling from the sky with the words Back Where I Belong, sits beside an iPad with a blurb about the book which reads: Plum Quill’s week was almost perfect. That was before she opened the mysterious letter, upending everything she thought she knew about her unassuming husband, Tate. Before she learned he was heir to a tiny island nation. Before the news sent her anxiety spiraling: his father is dying, and his mother is summoning him home. Plum won’t rob Tate of the chance to reconcile with his estranged parents. To embrace royal life though, they must abandon their quiet existence in Australia. A move that risks tearing apart her chosen family and exposing the privileged identity she’s concealed for years. So when her mother-in-law hosts a welcome-home gala for them, inviting dignitaries from around the globe, Plum panics as her false persona unravels. And when an unexpected guest recognizes her and issues an ultimatum, Plum faces an impossible choice: reveal the truth that could destroy everything she’s built, or keep running from the legacy she abandoned—and the person she was born to be.
