Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other.

It's only natural that they become friends with benefits.

All too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

Corado's about to break all three.

Background image: same as first slide. Title: Pitch Text: Corado is just trying to survive the night—every night. Being a nightrunner, one of the few brave or foolish enough to defy humanity's vampire masters to traffic himself and others across barony lines, doesn't make it any easier though. With vampire posses stalking the desert during the day and their ravenous Horde filling the sky each night, it's a miracle he's survived as long as he has. Some of it he chalks up to skill, some to instinct, but he knows that when the dawn comes, the main thing seeing him through the night is good old-fashioned luck. Nothing lasts forever though, and Corado's lucky streak soon comes to a quick and bloody end. After nighttime attack from the Horde leaves him stranded in the desert with a newly-orphaned boy named Hectar, he finds keeping the rest of the world at bay may not be as easy as he thought. Newfound companion in tow, he sets out to find what remains of the boy's family and finally put the whole thing behind him. But as he knows by now, no job is ever so simple. As he tries to escort Hectar to safety, whispers of rebellion start drifting on the wind. With a world free of the Horde beginning to look like a real possibility, Corado must face vampires, twisted monstrosities, and the darkness lurking in men's hearts before he decides whether the world he's cut himself out of is one worth fighting for after all.

Dear Citizen of Calasca,
Pack your bags! I am happy to extend an invitation for you to join us on LAST CHANCE MATCH, a new reality holovision program where LOVE ISLAND meets SQUID GAME and BLACK MIRROR. We can promise you’ll find the one who’s to die for.

Above view of paradise dock on a beach with words overtop. Find the one who's to die for An agent's guide to LAST CHANCE MATCH New adult dystopian romance thriller with horror elements Above view of paradise dock on a beach, blurred, with words overtop. Pitch: Calasca’s government uses science to appoint soulmates, but the 0.6% of the population who don’t receive a match face extermination at thirty. A new reality show, Last Chance Match, sets out to change that and gives the matchless another shot at life. Down-trotted waitress, Cera accepts the invitation, but is quickly deflated when she’s paired with the cocky and entitled Ryde. The show takes a dark turn when a fellow contestant is killed after being eliminated, forcing Cera and Ryde to fight for their happily ever after—and to make it out alive. Above view of paradise dock on a beach, blurred, with words overtop. Comps: THE VILLA by Ruth Kelly - dating show setting, twisted games, desperation to win HEART OF THE SUN by Mia Sheridan - 'enemies' to lovers, second chances, dystopian love story THE KILL FACTOR by Ben Oliver - winning = freedom, life or death consequences, strong female protagonist LOVE ISLAND - Love Island-inspired dating show SQUID GAME - games created for a killer time BLACK MIRROR - dystopian future with sci-fi twists Above view of paradise dock on a beach, blurred, with words overtop. Snippet: The silhouette of a woman approaches us, but her flawless skin is a dead giveaway that it’s a humanoid. The older you get, the easier it is to spot them; their skin is free of blemish, not even a tiny scar indented into their bodies. Their eyes are shiny—too shiny—and their smiles lack depth, character, and warmth. Though the government will never admit it, they’ve started to release more and more of these bots into Calasca to act as companions for the matchless. They’re chameleons, taking on whatever persona they need to hook into you. The most unsettling part about them is how predatory they can be, entering the neighborhoods of the low-end and matchless. They even have a slot on their abdomens for payment. I shiver when the humanoid’s too-perfect eyes land on me, its bone-chilling grin never faltering. “Contestants,” it says so matter-of-fact, yet there’s a sweetness to it. An eerie kindness I can’t ignore. God, I hate humanoids.

When provided with the opportunity to steal a necklace containing immeasurable magic, hedge witch Blake Delacroix must decide whether to accept the life society has laid out for her or steal the power she has always been denied.

#bluepit #Q #YA #LGBT #F
An image of a castle surrounded by forest. VEILED ENCHANTMENTS. YA FANTASY WITH DARK ACADEMIA AND SAPPHIC RIVALS TO LOVERS. COMLPETE AT 80,000 WORDS. The blurb: Seventeen-year-old Blake has spent her life studying magic at Holtsworth Academy with the hope of joining the ranks of the Royal Corps, an elite infantry comprised of divine witches descended from the gods. There’s only one problem: Blake isn’t a divine witch at all. As niece of the headmistress, she is confined to the role of assistant and silent observer of the extraordinary lessons unfolding around her, her own negligible powers denying her full participation. A spark of hope arrives when Blake learns that the Grandwitch has brought a secret necklace containing a volatile and immeasurable magic to the academy. Just as she finds a way to obtain it for herself, the necklace disappears and Blake believes she knows exactly who to blame: Maeve Moram, a powerful student who has always had it in for her. What begins as a quest to recover the necklace results in Blake unearthing not only the hidden truth of her fellow hedge witches but also a deeper and darker power that she can’t begin to comprehend. Comp Titles: Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven (sapphic romance, rivals to lovers, generational trauma) Wisteria by Adalyn Grace (familial relationships, lost deities, gothic-lite) Snippet: “It all comes so easy to you, and you don’t even deserve it.” I scoff. “Do you think the Corps would have selected you if your mother wasn’t Lady Death? I bet Adrien only sticks around to take the attention away from him being one of the Dregs.” It can be hard to remember just how far down the gods’ bloodline he is when he’s lording it over me. But there is no forgetting just how close Maeve is to the power of Death herself. “Where I get my magic from doesn’t matter.” She steps so close that I can feel her breath on my skin. Her eyes are slits, her teeth bared. “All that matters is that I have it – and if people want to make use of it, who are you to say otherwise? Just because you hate how small you are. How weak. You must drown in it.”

Text: "You might be too broken to help me yourself," she said, all pretense of courtesy gone, "but if you're a shadow of the man he said you were, you ought to still know something at least. "Have you ever heard of an assassin who could change their shape?" Background: Ferns Title: Comps Images: Covers of GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, THE JUSTICE OF KINGS by Richard Swan, and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by Andrew Stewart. Arrows connect similarities between comps. Text: From GODKILLER: Cross-Country Quest to Forbidden Land, Surrogate Parenthood (shared with THE JUSTICE OF KINGS) From BONE SHARD DAUGHTER: Disgraced Heir, Strong FMC (shared with both others) Background: Ferns Title: Pitch Text: Niozene has never been good enough. As the crown heir to the Mother, the living goddess that rules her country, perfection is not merely a goal; it is the base expectation, and one she’s never been able to live up to. Her flawless scholar’s education and polished career as a ranger have failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest mistake: she was born without the holy power that grants her family their divine right to rule. When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she officially runs out of time to impress. She is stripped of her titles and given a choice: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication—banishment from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as her last chance to show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter. Allowed only the help of another excommunicated criminal, a surly, aged tracker named Sonsan, and facing an assassin who could be anyone, she dreads she has lost her chance to return home before she has even left. But when Sonsan reveals the same shape-changing power as the assassin, she realizes there is more to her quest than she has been told. As they chase the assassin deep into a forbidden land, they must confront the buried history they discover they share, as well as the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, if they are to return alive.

Brain dumped another chapter of my new WIP over lunch, and it's first person. I always write in third, so this is completely new. I'm also pantsing it, so it's potentially for my eyes only. But it's fun and this is what first drafts are meant for 🥳✍️
