THE EXECUTIONER’S WIDOW: When the kingdom’s executioner dies, his teen son must inherit the blade. To save him, his widow disguises herself as her son and takes the post, risking death if exposed—and uncovering secrets that could destroy the crown.

I’m a trad-published author.

NIGHTVALE x PRETTY LITTLE LIARS

2012, Avira's Jr Year and the supposed apocalypse. Avira's just trying to hold onto her crush & place in an art competition for a full ride scholarship. The catch? Her bff, competing for both her attention, and the scholarship.

An assortment of images, cut into triangle shapes and circles make a 4 point star in a circle, with a blue pink and purple flannel making up the flannel. At the center of the 4 point star is a circle that shows a smiling white girl with curly brown hair, and blue eyes. The top point of the star shows a tired looking latino boy with short, messy dark hair, olive eyes, and a goatee. Between this and the right point are images of a coiled snake, and a leaf on a creek shore. The right hand point shows a blonde girl with very pale skin, messy blonde hair, and glasses. Between this and the bottom point are 3 images: A silo with a tree growing out of it, a blonde boy with blue eyes wearing a polo, and a necklace with a shimmering green and purple gem, wire wrapped in the same colors. The bottom point shows a white boy with wavy brown hair, big hazel eyes, and rectangle glasses wearing a button up with a cartoonish ghost over his shoulder. Between this and the left point of the star are a row of chalk pastels making a rainbow, and a snow covered rose. The left point shows a girl with ocher skin, green eyes, and a black braid with bangs covering one eye. Between this and the top point we see the head of a stringed instrument, a black girl with a dyed red undercut and gold piercing, and a soccer ball in a grassy field.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered at 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 supernatural campaign.

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, 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.

@rebeccamatte.com I saw your "white whales" section on your website.
I have one of them already written and in need of good representation.
Any idea when you'll be opening back up to submissions?
