SWORDCROSSED X THIS WILL BE FUN

Standalone Spicy Cozy Fantasy
Demisexual Rep
Fat Main Character
MM Second Chance Romance

After the Lich Queen's Demise is the perfect book to heal your inner gifted child suffering from burn out. Please take a gander at my Agent's Guide!

#QuestPit #Q #A #F
The is the first picture of my Agent's Guide to After The Lich Queen's Demise. It's pretty simple two Tarot cards one for the Sun and for the Moon on a purple background. A list of the comps for After the Lich Queen's Demise these include: Swordcrossed, This Will Be Fun, Bookshops and Bonedust, The Spellshop, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. The Pitch! When Sylvester Biskup’s former flame and adventuring companion Elsinor Laederiel unexpectedly appears back in his life, his world is turned upside down. At first Sylvester does all he can to avoid his flashy former lover: bury himself in work, plan a succubus’ wedding, and even give dating advice from a delusional bard a try. Then the university chancellor offers Sylvester a deal he can’t refuse: secure a donation to the university from Elsinor and earn the promotion he’s been coveting. One problem: he can barely say Elsinor’s name without panicking. The Log Line: Where one hero's journey ends, his life will begin. The Snippet Another suffocating silence engulfed the space between them. Sylvester’s breath slowed down, his pulse calmed. But his heart still clenched when he thought of the last words that Elsinor had spoken to him the morning after their last tryst. Darling, it was just one night. Over the years, the words morphed and churned into a mocking mantra. It was just one more example of how his stupid pig headed brain rushed him into decisions that he couldn’t take back. Now instead of meeting on equal footing, Elsinor loomed over him, smelling sweet and vomit free while Sylvester clung to the tile wall. “Well, I would love to see you there,” Elsinor stopped himself and Sylvester waited with bated breath to hear how he was going to end his sentence. “Sylvester.” Sylvester listened for the tell tale sounds of footsteps clacking away. He closed his eyes and huffed out a deep sigh.

MARK OF A MAGPIE is #OnSubmission! 🐦‍⬛📖

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 #YA #A #F #RF
#OS #AG #EditorsGuide #Editors
Editor's Guide To MARK OF A MAGPIE Crossover Romantic Fantasy 118k Words Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas 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 who has 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 be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture. Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told. Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines. Tropes and Themes - Thief x Assassin - Mental Health Rep - Identity vs Duty - Class Difference - Forced Proximity - Secret Code - Morally Gray - Women's Wrongs - Unlikely Allies to Lovers Comps: Throne of Glass's castle-setting murder mystery and theme of "who you are versus what you have to do" meets the banter-heavy dialogue, strong female protagonist, and nautical setting of Daughter of the Pirate King. Text is on a piece of parchment. Beside the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines. 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. Picture seven shows a bottle of alcohol. Picture eight has a medieval alleyway. And picture eight shows a ship's crew enjoying a sunset. There is text below the collage that says: ON SUBMISSION NOW! Represented by Amanda Wooden at SBR Media, contact information available on my website! Behind the parchment, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

🇮🇪 Medieval Ireland

☠️ The black plague
💌 2025 #SmoochPit Mentee

#questpit #W #A #H #HF
An agent’s guide to The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 71,000 word gothic horror by Anna Hirsch Tropes: He’s human, she’s immortal • Only one grave • Byronic hero protagonist • Uncovering lost memories • Medieval Irish setting • Tragic ending Comps: The death-touched romance of Nosferatu, the Catholic guilt of The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas, the black plague of Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell, the folkloric love story of Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid Pitch: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s banshee for the first time in a decade, he knows one of his own is fated to die. But they don’t believe his warnings--why would they? The last time Ciarán heard the banshee he didn’t tell a soul until after his cousin’s tragic death, and they’ve never trusted him since. Desperate for redemption in his family’s eyes, Ciarán hunts down the banshee in search of answers. She’s equal parts frightening and alluring, and in his struggle to confront her, he inadvertently triggers the banshee’s memories. Memories of when she was a servant of his household, generations ago, named Deirdre. Deirdre claims that Ciarán’s physical touch restores her memories, and demands more. He agrees to meet by moonlight in hope of learning whose death she foretold. With every encounter, Ciarán’s attraction to Deirdre grows, setting him on a path of macabre desire. When the devastating bubonic plague befalls the Murtagh household, and Deirdre’s memories reveal a dark scandal in the family’s history, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his family’s side in their final hours or embrace the seduction of the death-bringer. I was a boy of ten when I first saw death, but I’d heard her for years. It was an early summer’s day when we went to the lough. Niamh led us through the forest along the stream, babbling all the way with a lightness that opposed her urgent pace. “This could be our best chance to see the merrow! Auntie said the veil is thin. They’ll be near and then we can speak!” “She also said we shouldn’t go this far,” I begrudged her. Again about the merrow. She had been speaking of them for days, and insisted that Deaglán and I journey with her to the lough, where they lay beneath the surface. Finbar wasn’t supposed to come, but Aunt Eithne had made us watch him while she harvested yellow flowers on the hillside. He slowed us down, and Niamh’s frustration roiled off her like steam against the cool breeze. Though the land was ripe with life, winter still dragged a claw through the air. As we ventured deeper into the forest, a feeling of unease grew within me. A sound rang in my ears, so faint I could not tell if it was imagined or real. Because for weeks, it had haunted my dreams.
