❤️‍🔥 THE HEALER WITCH ❤️‍🔥

If you thought coming back to the place you hate the most was bad, imagine getting tangled in a Healer’s dodgy business AND constantly putting your life in danger in the process.

The odds are not in their favour, but the Gods are.

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Guardians of Melya present, The Healer Witch. A Bewitched 97K Adult Fantasy by K J Silver Purple and orange flames over a dark background. The white text reads: The pitch - Captain Onwyn Storm's life changes the moment he agrees to work for General Redwood, though he will soon learn just how much. While trying to prove himself and fulfill the bargain he's made to be rid of his father's corrupting influence once and for all he is forces to work with Lunary. A Healer Witch who has more secrets than he can keep track of and could very well cost him everything he has worked so hard for. Or his life, if he's not careful. Purple and orange flames over a dark background. The white text reads: Inside the healer witch - Morally grey FMC, cozy with a dash of darkness, the slowest flame to ever burn, meddling gods, found family that annoy each other to death, sentient houses and secret libraries. 3 pictures on top of it are: the cover for The Courting of Bristol Keats and The Witch Collector, as well as a poster for Avatar the Last Airbender Purple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Prologue - And so Ylluriel had endured centuries of watching how they destroyed each other. Over land, resources, family feuds. The reason didn’t seem to matter, for they always found another excuse to turn against one another. The greed, the hopelessness. The anger and blood lust. The jealousy and despair. They had all infected the lands of Melya like a plague that no one could stop. Ylluriel had easily grown tired of staying aside. Of having the power to change things and not do anything to help the children that she loved so fiercely. Her love was so great that she was willing to go against Melya herself, the Mother of all. Her grandmother. It wasn’t the first time she had defied her, after all, and she was sure it would not be the last. Especially not when a child, so desperate to live, had found her way to her realm.

Happy Sunday! I'm starting my new job tomorrow but that doesn't mean my other goals get forgotten.

I'm so happy with how this draft is turning out, and it's looking like I will definitely be able to have this ready for #RevPit ❤️‍🔥

My speculative fiction ANTI-CHARTER CAMPAIGN is complete, and I made my first ever agent's guide.

#AmQuerying
Mood board for Anti-Charter Campaign agent's guide. Pictures of an elementary school, money, butterscotch, cheersing beers, ants, a map of PA, D&D dice and character sheets, kids in a school, a magic book, an apple for the teacher, and a man with a nametag that says "Evil Corp" Speculative Fiction ANTI-CHARTER CAMPAIGN is Jumanji X Abbott Elementary. Librarian Britt and her teacher colleagues must make the right rolls in a magical RPG to save their school from a charter takeover. 92K Words, Querying Now Comps: Roll for Romance, The Grimoire Grammar School PTA, A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, The Lost Bookshop, Minor Dramas & Other Catastrophes, The Faculty Lounge, Up the Down Staircase Excerpt: “Yes, it is. Would you like to hold it?” “Why would you do that, Angelo?” Suze shook her head. “Classic NPC inciting move. He’s going to run away with it now.” Britt picked up the thread as soon as Suze quieted, making her voice high like a child’s. “‘Yes, I would.’ The boy snatches the emblem from your hand and runs toward the back of the tavern.” “Oh well,” Angelo declared in his Martin affectation, tossing his head as if he had fluffy curls instead of a close-cropped buzz. “Maybe now all the exiled princes and damsels in distress will stop asking me for help and I can just sit back and enjoy a tankard of ale.” “Since when have damsels of any kind approached you, Martin?” Suze retorted, at least seeming to be in character. Though Catherine wasn’t certain if a paladin would make such a snide comment. The party had been together for eight or nine adventures. She supposed that bred a certain familiarity they could play into.  “But you need that, Martin. You know they’ve been asking people for their badges lately.” Catherine scanned over her character sheet. She’d prepared spells for what she thought Sprintze would be doing in the off season.

New Agent's Guide: Early Magic
Querying now.

*With a lot of help from a friend: @kjsilver.bsky.social
EARLY MAGIC: YA contemporary fantasy by Jessica Fisher Riches, Dual POV, 93K words The Pitch: When a cocksure witch loses her magic to a cunning daemon, she hatches a ruthless plan to steal it back -- even if it means betraying a grieving classmate who's only just discovered the world of magic The Mood: Frenemies to Enemies, Angry Girl Energy, California Vibes, Romantic Debacles, Opening Night Nerves; For readers of: A wicked Magic, Wild is the Witch, Dark and Secret Magic, Practical Magic Opening LInes: The witches wore black veils in the moonlight. How dramatic. Rowan, waiting alone at the edge of the clearing, attempted to distract herself from the cold by mentally improving the aesthetic of their ceremonial robes. Maybe a subtle charcoal trim and bespoke throat clasps? Still, she wanted one of those veils. Badly.
