Hi editors, I’m pleased to introduce my YA Heist Romance Novel, SINNERS OR SAINTS

#GhostPit #YA #OS #Con #R

Two handcuffed hands, overlaid with the text “An Editor’s Guide to Sinners or Saints By Emily Freeborn On Submission Represented by Lauren Galit at LKG Agency”

Pitch: Isabella Sanders has had enough of her egotistical father and his games of manipulation and humiliation. After Henry proposes to his mistress with the ring his sister left Bella, she decides it’s time to prove she’s no longer under his thumb.

Bella plans to hit him where it hurts most — The Sanders hotel, glittering jewel of Los Angeles and its Vault, which holds all the glittering jewels of Hollywood. An eye for an eye, a gem for a whole safe full of gems. Seems only fair.

But even with her quick wit and sly hands, Bella can’t pull off a heist of this scale without help. Enter Alex Clyde, the charming and devilishly handsome Brit who steals Bella’s watch and is determined to steal more. He’s Bella’s perfect match, though that doesn’t mean she trusts him.

As Bella assembles her team and plans only, she dodges coins about Alex’s true motives and the surveillance Henry has put on his crafty daughter. If the Saints can pull this off, Bella will finally win. But first she must overcome her distrust of the partner who’s stolen her heart.

Cruel Intentions meets Ocean’s 8 in this sexy YA adventure about a teen thief who begins to fall for the mysterious partner she has enlisted to help pull off a glamorous and daring jewel heist.

For Fans of: Cruel Intentions poster, Ocean’s 8 poster, The Inheritance Games cover, Thieves’ Gambit cover. Tropes: Unlikeable FMC, Partners in crime to lovers, morally grey characters, a swoonworthy alibi, meeting your match. Themes: Grief, breaking the cycle for abuse, eat the rich, found family, redemption.

Chapter 1. God Bless the LAPD. The Los Angeles Police Department isn’t a terrible place to spend the afternoon. It certainly beats fifth period religion with Mr. Casablanca. I’m in a small, brightly little interrogation room that lacks the stereotypically two-way mirror depicted in movies and is only furnished with the small white table and chair where I’m sitting. I tilt my head back and stare at the ceiling for what feels like a few minutes, but ends up being probably no more than two, before the door finally opens. In walks a man in a disgusting brown suit, and when I say disgusting, I mean truly awful. It’s got the color and quality of a paper ack, and the cuffs are stained with blue ink. He carries a tattered cardboard box with wires sticking out of it, which he sets down on the table with a grunt before removing a machine that resembles a medieval torture device. I have to stifle a laugh as I watch him spend a few minutes of furtive effort leaning over the back of his chair, struggling to fit the plug in the outlet. I allow myself a brief sigh of relief because if this is the Sherlock Holmes of the department, I truly have nothing to worry about. There’s a hole in his collar that I doubt he noticed when he got dressed this morning, and a few crumbs tumble off his jacket as he moves. Judging by how long it takes him to fit the plug in the outlet, I get the sense that he isn’t too bright either. But it doesn’t matter to my father if he has the brightest detective in the world on the case. I know he donates to the department and has connections to the force. Henry doesn’t need a detective who can put the right person in cuffs, just one who can find him someone to blame. That’s the only reason I’m here — I’m always the first stop on his witch hunts.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Idk what is going on this week but there are about ten new posts on #mswl asking for heist romance stories??? Did some new book/movie just drop or something because during the years I spent querying my own heist romance there were basically zero lol

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Hi #authors I’m currently preparing for my manuscript to go on sub, any tips for how to survive the next few months? 😭

Just FYI there are bots pretending to be famous authors trying to scam people on Twitter rn, they will have links and stuff to make them look legit but don’t fall for it and don’t send them links to your books if they ask to trade

A magical cat is swept into a hidden world of secret agents, underground cities, and strange allies, only to realize she must reclaim her power or watch her ruthless mentor destroy everything she loves.

#YouDeservepIt #Q #MG #F

A suburban alley, a cat with silver eyes, a scraggly dog, a magical parrot, an angry owl, and a small mouse holding a letter. The text says, THE CAT WITH THE SILVER EYES; what if the rose bush in The Secret of NIMH led to a magical animal society hidden in plain sight?
