Kallie Sugar didn't mean to collide with Chase Frost on the icy sidewalk. She just found out she's magical & her parents moved them back to North Pole Village. With an edict, a feud, would-be rival, & a secret, happily-ever-after seems out of reach. #YA #F #Q #questpit
A graphic with an illustrated depiction of a guy and a girl dancing on snow. In the background is a lamppost with a red ribbon tied around it. The words on the graphic read: A collision on an icy sidewalk was just the beginning... SUGAR & FROST YA Fantasy by Bethany Averie

And I just noticed an extra unneeded word in one of my questpit pitches. SIGH! Oh well, what's done is done.

Last #questpit post for me. Welcome to North Pole Village, where Kallie Sugar's family owns the bakery, Chase is a Frost (w/a frosty demeanor), the Jackson Frost & Kris Kringle are at odds, and the cinnamon rolls are addictive. So stay for the Kringle Annual Ball. #YA #F #Q
Wintery background with a graphic of a couple dancing on the bottom of the picture/graphic. The text reads: SUGAR & FROST by Bethany Averie The Pitch When Kallie collides into Chase it's decidedly not love-at-first-sight, but as they grow closer feelings change; however, with a feud, family drama, and a deluded rival, banishment seems more likely than a happily-ever-after.

SUGAR & FROST: ❄️Winter/Christmassy❄️Magical (elves & fairies in a North Pole like setting)❄️Dislike-At-First-Sight❄️MC/ FMC could be Banished due to edict ❄️Would-be Rival❄️A secret that could ruin everything (That isn't the MC's or FMC's).❄️A feud. #questpit #YA #F #Q
Graphic depicting a wintery background with a few branches from a pine tree. One branch has a red bow in it. At the bottom is a graphic of a young man and young woman dancing. Text on the graphic reads: Snippet from SUGAR & FROST: “She slipped the ribbon back on her wrist. Checking the card, she gasped. Every single line in sharp, precise cursive bore the name, ‘Chase Frost’.” SUGAR & FROST by Bethany Averie Currently Querying

Please lit #agents: If you're "a no response means no", could you please list a timeframe so that an author knows how long to keep a query open? I don't mean to be a bother; it's just hard for an #amquerying author when there's no timeframe listed. Thank you!

SHIFTER SECRETS: 🐺Childhood friends 🐺 She doesn't think she's worthy. 🐺Other shifters fr. diff. pack causing trouble. 🐺Just when you think you knew all the secrets...there's another. 🐺"Touch her & die" trope. Story is written. In process of editing it. #questpit #YA #F #WIP
Picture that has woods in the background (and wolves). A young woman is running and slightly glancing back, while a young man is looking at her. The text on the picture reads: SHIFTER SECRETS a YA Fantasy by Bethany Averie He's crushed on her since kindergarten. He doesn't know she's a shifter who can't shift and he also doesn't know that she knows he's the alpha's son. WIP (CURRENTLY IN EDITING STAGE)

I don't believe coincidences are random. I believe they're little hints of God's plan for a person to see. There are moments where it seems nothing comes of them (which, sometimes can be hard depending on the results), but other times you can see how things fit together well.
