A moodboard with blue tones. At the center is a glowing blue planet. Surrounding it are: a snake, a cluster of glowing crystals, neon lights forming a geometric pattern, futuristic blocks with glowing lines between them, a pair of hands, some glowing optic fibers, blue crystals laid out in several rows, and some bioluminescent waves. There are two neon squares overlaying the moodboard—one smaller one outlining the plannet at the center, and a larger one crossing through the corner images. Art of Ren and Micah from my YA sci-fi book, commissioned from artist kaizmos. Ren has pale skin and dark brown hair in a half-ponytail. Micah has brown skin and dark brown hair with an undercut. They are both wearing futuristic dark bodysuits with glowing blue lines. They are standing waist-high in water and surrounded by glowing blue crystals. They are holding hands and gazing dazedly at each other.

I'm so incredibly excited to announce that I'm now represented by the wonderful Madison Potter at Olswanger Literary!

Madison's vision for VODESA and her general enthusiasm is contagious and I can't wait to work together!
Colored sketch with a man with curly black hair, black eyes, tan skin and a short beard. He wears a sheepish, love stricken expression as he touches two puncture wounds at his neck. Hovering behind him is a vampire with elongated fangs, her arms around his shoulders. There is blood around her mouth. She has long brown hair, slightly tan skin, and a nose with a bump on the bridge. She has 2 scars, one on her upper lip and another across her brow.

I am happy to share an #agentsguide for my YA Fantasy, THE SELKIE'S DAUGHTER.

#amquerying #agentguide #yafantasy
Image is a stormy sea batting against rock outcroppings. Over top of the image are the words: An agent's guide to The Selkie's Daughter YA Fantasy Romance 94k Image has the same background as previous, with the text: Pitch When Meirta learns that the village she’s called home her whole life may be hiding secrets (one of which might concern her selkie mother who fled to the ocean years ago), she must count on unlikely allies to help her unlock the magic of her selkie heritage and discover what the village tried to bury. Image has the same background as previous, with the text: Snippet Neither of them let go of the other. But Lena did raise her other hand, & a second later, Meirta felt the pattern of the wind shift as Lena took hold of it. The snow swirled around them, caught in the flow of Lena’s magic, so it danced in restless, ever-changing mosaics. There was a bird, and then a butterfly, and then a deer. When Lena let the magic go, she took a step closer to Meirta, whispering in her ear. “Now you try.” Meirta shivered, feeling the warmth of Lena’s breath flutter down her neck, the ghost of her nose tracing her skin. She leaned towards her without thinking, not wanting Lena to move away. Lena didn’t. She stood so close to Meirta that she could feel every breath the elf-girl took. Meirta raised her own hand, trying to focus on the wind when everything inside of her was chanting fire, fire, fire, but this time it was a delicious sort of fire that she thought she would crave for the rest of her life. Image has the same background as previous, with the text: Comps Isolated seaside small town setting Sweet, slow-burn romance (but make it queer) Uncovering lies Girls with big, complicated emotions Atmospheric prose Creatures from Celtic mythology Girls discovering their own anger Beside the comps are images of four books. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid, A Consuming Fire by Laura Weymouth, and A House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin Craig

Take a look at my updated #agentguide / #agentsguide for the YA fantasy manuscript I #amquerying
A greenish gray background with an image of a foggy island and the text “An Agent’s Guide to FORGED IN DARKNESS YA Celtic-inspired fantasy 89k” THE PITCH A teen blacksmith must embark on a quest with the boy she hates to reforge a magic relic and free their island from a tyrannical god — otherwise, her life belongs to the island's fog-worshiping cult. SNIPPET Cold wind burned Barra's cheeks as she exited the church, but at least the rain had stopped. She gazed out over the cliffside and down to the harbor, where three ships nearing completion swayed in the choppy water. Barra tensed at the sight. If only she could destroy them and everything they stood for. The Salt Sisters at work below were like a swarm of ants, and the sound of their steady hammering carried across the breeze. Barra eyed the shrouded sun's position in the sky. The solstice ever-neared, along with the vows she was pledged to take. COMPS The cover of The Hedgewitch of Foxhall with “Slow burn” and “Celtic setting” the cover of BLADE OF SECRETS with “Blacksmith MC” and “Anxiety Rep” and the cover of THE BONE HOUSES with “Banter/Humor” and “Dangerous quest”

a moodboard detailing nine images related to my book ALL THE DEVILS in order they are: a neon rock n roll sign, london (notably big ben), a man playing the guitar, a man punching a mirror, a man staring forward into the camera with only his eye showing, someone walking down a hallway, stars falling from the sky, photos hanging from the ceiling and finally, an audience at a gig. all nine images have a red hue.

A moodboard showing the pirate (Amir), the princess (Mira), and John. Amir silhouetted against a cloudy sky with a sword slung over her shoulder and a group of joyful sailors on a pirate ship. She has this quote: Continue to love Continue to forgive Continue to grow Mira is shown in the reflection of an ornate mirror. She is wearing long white gloves and a pink ballgown with her hair in a natural updo and the lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted over her photo. There is another photo of two girls kissing in the surf at sunset. Mira has this quote: We looked at each other a little too long to be “just friends” John is shown with his bare back to the viewer, facing the sea with the trans pride flag subtly depicted over his photo. He also has a close up of iridescent mermaid scales and this quote: Go bravely, go deeply, or do not go

With the official start of my ✨ #amquerying era ✨, I present an updated #agentsguide / #agentguide for VODESA, an Adult Romanian history-inspired fantasy 🧛‍♀️
An Agent's Guide to Vodesa by A.M. Bucsaru Pitch: In a world inspired by the Ottoman occupation in the Balkans, featuring a gender-bent Vlad the Impaler, a dethroned vampire must rally the lowest tiers of society to reclaim her crown or live in servitude, alongside her kind, under her own vassal nation and its imperial overlord. Tropes: enemies to lovers, vengeful women, history inspired fantasy, vampires true to romanian folklore, political scheming, wicked twist on hurt/comfort. Comps: The Jasad Heir, Mistress of Lies, She Who Became The Sun, And I Darken, A Dowry of Blood, The Jasmine Throne, Empire of the Vampire Adult Fantasy steeped in Balkan Culture 115k words Dracula--Vlad the Impaler--is a national hero in Romania. Despite being held hostage by the Ottomans in his youth, once he ascended to the throne he fought fiercely for the freedom of his country. He was defiant and oftentimes cruel, but his loyalty to his people never wavered. I believe it is time to tell a story from a different perspective, one where he is not the monster he is so often painted to be.
