Decided to make one of the love interests in MalignantWIP a yearner who spits out passionate things like “you deepen the red of my blood” while the other is an obsesser who can’t figure his shit out, but if there’s one thing he knows, it’s his healthy addiction to my FMC

Her hubris. She seeks to manipulate the strings of fate. She’s privileged. Her social etiquette is lacking. She’s very straightforward and brazen for a woman in the 1820s. Need I go on?

Sharing my #agentsguide for CONDUCT OF MAGES, an #A #F for fans of JADE CITY x SIX OF CROWS

When her mentor goes missing Gemma teams up with fellow mage, Ren, to uncover a plot to eradicate mages…one that involves the emergence of a mysterious stone that mimics their powers.

#questpit #Q #querying
cover page that says CONDUCT OF MAGES, an adult fantasy complete at 102K words on a moody dark background showing a brown building and orange and yellow paper lanterns text reads THE VIBES and lists: energy magic, heists & scheming, found family, research subplot, slooow burn, female role models, SE Asian setting. placed on a moody dark background showing a brown building and orange and yellow paper lanterns text reads FOR FANS OF and then six book covers are displayed, from top left to bottom right: JADE CITY, JASAD HEIR, MISTBORN, HEARTLESS HUNTER, BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN, and SIX OF CROWS text reads EXCERPTS. the first is labeled FIRST LINE, and reads “Gemna was sorting through a basket of sparrowberries when she found out that her existence had been outlawed.” the second text bid is labeled CHAPTER 4 and reads: “In all fairness, Yala had never specified just how flammable elderfire was. The heat was instantaneous and overwhelming. Gemna felt it scorch the edges of her sleeves before she pulled in the energy from the flames and, when she was nearly bursting with it, diverted it towards the two Hands at the front of the shop. The fire died harmlessly at her feet before it could eat its way into the hidden cellar below.”

MEXICAN GOTHIC X CRIMSON PEAK

A biracial woman returns to her birthplace in S. Korea where she must choose between unearthing her family's history of disappearances—and the truth buried in her grandmother's garden—or become the next woman claimed by the its dark history.

#questpit #A #F #H #W
When Seo-Yun returns to her estranged and ailing grandmother’s island estate to investigate her family’s history of disappearances, she finds the once-illustrious house steeped in rot and the prized garden now withered and dying. As Seo-Yun's physical and mental health deteriorate, her grandmother’s inexplicably improves. The decay in the house mysteriously begins to heal, while creeping vines from the garden hungrily spread throughout the halls, whispering warnings of a faceless ghost that draws closer each passing night. On the verge of her mind and body unraveling, she must unearth generations of her family’s secrets—and the truth buried in her grandmother’s garden—before she becomes the next woman claimed by its dark history. Photo grid: statue covered in ivy, a woman staring into the forest, a woman covered in a sheet, a person wrapped in ivy, a picture of a woman's face scratched out, a woman standing in fog, a moth on a hand, a person sitting in the dark, a hand wrapped in ivy

Agent guide for I Am Chosen, an M/M paranormal romance. The picture is of a fiery orange and purple sunset over a highway. Photography and story by Dawn Berkoski Several photos are shown in this Moodboard for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river. Photography, except the man, by Dawn Berkoski Photo of a vibrant sunset over a graveyard as seen from the window of a fast moving vehicle. It reads: PITCH: IN A WORLD CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE VAMPIRES, TWO MEN STRUGGLE FOR AUTONOMY. WILL A CHANCE MEETING LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM, OR A WEB OF SUBTERFUGE, WHERE EVERY THREAD BRINGS A MONSTER OFFERING DEATH OR PERMANTENT CONFINEMENT? Photo by Dawn Berkoski Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story. The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others. The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel. Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.

Title image: An Agent’s Guide to Where Heaven’s Teeth Grow; a horror-romantic literary fiction complete at 74,000 words. The pitch: Her life for a dream. That's the forgotten bargain Isla made with the god of sleep. Haunted by an enamoring, cruel god and the gruesome nightmares of her past, Isla must sacrifice her life to save her friends from a mysterious viral plague, all while ensnared into more bargains to sustain the god's vitality. Snippet of the opening chapter: PART ONE: BONE OF MY BONES CHAPTER ONE We spend our lives protecting our bodies from the rot we chase in death. But there is peace in decay. It marks the quiet end to a life that’d finally perfected the art of letting go. Death comes for us all. It’s life we should fear. “Get in your room, Isla.” My wrist burned where my uncle squeezed, nausea clawing up my throat. He grasped my fist and held it in front of his face, my bones aching from the pressure. He towered over me, his eyes glazed over. Comps & Vibes—cover photos of Ethel Caine album, Rhapsodic, Dracula, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Quote: “His voice was a candlelit dinner, a raw slab of still-bleeding meat awaiting to both kill and satisfy.”

MARTYR! x THE NAMES but isekai

Max sees no future for himself until death reshapes him into a noble in an alternate ancient East Asia. As Yoon, he has it all: status, affection, & a prediction that his love is lethal. Is life worth living if it comes at others’ suffering?
#QuestPit #Q #A #LF #HF #F
This is a flowery graphic with post-reincarnation Yoon on the left and pre-reincarnation Max on the right, but turned at an angle with their character artworks facing each other. Above fancy robe-wearing Yoon there are lines that read: In the stillness of death, he immortalized her as his ever-loving, ever-living flower. It would be an eternity of affection. Above florist-uniformed Max are the lines: It wouldn't be so bad if this were the end, he thought... In their family, inconvenient things were silently buried. Especially death.
