The Magic of Now The story of a 62-year-old farmer, the goat her sister may be reincarnated into, and the new age cult that could be behind it. Guide to By: Cailin Barrett-Bressack Rep: Alex Land, Mad Woman Literary Agency Gyla, 62-year old in mourning, encounters a mysterious goat on her farm that she suspects contains the consciousness of her recently deceased sister, Tina. Her quest for answers eventually leads to ReNewAll, a reclusive new-age community fixated on death and grieving– and with a goat on their brochures. In addition to nonsensical classes like Stargazing with Your Eyes Closed and Untangling the Truth through Macrame, ReNewAll and its neuroscientist leader teach The Magic of Now, a practice that allows members to vividly revisit memories of their deceased loved ones. As Gyla grows from skeptic and unlikely cult infiltrator to a willing member of ReNewAll’s inner circle, she must ultimately choose between immersing herself in an illusion of the past where Tina is still alive (and human), or dedicating herself to the imperfect (but tangible) version of her sister that is trapped inside the body of a goat. The Pitch The Comps cult comps Teal Swan Mother God Elizabeth Holmes quirky humor and warmly acerbic wit surrealism that highlights life’s bittersweet beauty speculative exploration of insular communities themes of memory and identity Eternal Sunshine Catherine House Aimee Bender How to Age Disgracefully A Snippet The Milky Way painted across the bowl of sky is technicolor and dizzying. The stars seem close enough that if she were to reach out and run her hands across the pricks of them, they’d snag splinters in her fingertips. The wind grows louder. Gyla walks towards her pond, the forest pressing into the shore on three sides. Later in the spring, the pond's surface will be laced with pale green algae, but this early in the season the water is smooth glass, reflecting the night sky and also—the goat. Gyla sees its reflection first, then draws her eyes up to where it stands motionless across the water. It’s hard to make out every detail in the muted blues of night, but she can tell who it is the moment she sees it. “Tina?” Gyla whispers. The goat cocks its head to one side in response. Gyla is not sure why she says her sister’s name aloud. It’s a physical knowing, the same way she senses weather changes in the marrow of her right knee. When she sees the goat, she feels her sister with her for the first time in months. The goat approaches her cautiously. Its ear is pierced where an identification tag had been, but the tag is gone, and Gyla can see the stars reflecting on the surface of the pond through the small empty window in the cartilage. Gyla knows she should be wondering if her mind is playing tricks on her. But she doesn’t waver in her conviction. Somehow, she can tell–this is her sister. It’s Tina.

An Agent's guide to A DELICATE HUNGER, my A DOWRY OF BLOOD X HOUSE OF HUNGER Adult Gothic Romantasy that I #amquerying! If you'd like to see it in your inbox, interact 👀✨

#WritingCommunity
An agent's guide to A delicate hunger by Kate Duarte Illustration of a male vampire about to bite a female vampire's neck as the background. Pitch - Adult Gothic Romantasy To save her father from violent debt collectors, Frances tries to become a ​vampire—but her transformation goes wrong, and she comes back as a succubus instead. Now, she must rely on her sire to defeat the zealot hunters ​targeting both. If only all it took was a bite... Comps: House of Hunger, The Coven, A Dowry of Blood, Midnight Mass, Interview with the Vampire, Phantasma. Moodboard, themes and tropes: religious trauma, found family, fresh take on the vampire lore, queerness, why choose, consent, bisexual and polyam MC and LI, one bed, supernatural fwb to lovers, childhood friends to enemies, grumpy/sunshine Snippet: The little thing dragged a wing in circles, across the sandy ground. Tiernan scooped it up, and they watched it flutter against the palms of his hands. They didn’t know how to mend it. Frances thought his grandmother could help. Wasn’t she a doctor of sorts? A holy one, who prescribed blessings instead of medicine. She prayed over his family weapons, forged in godly flame, and they became twice as sharp. At least, that’s what the adults believed. Tiernan’s grandmother tossed the robin into the fireplace. “It shall go straight to God’s gardens, and He shall fix its wings there,” she said. Frances carries the words around, chewing them now, and swallows like they’re poison. Tiernan ought to cast her into the flames, but he clings to her like a sinner searching for salvation, forbidding her from slipping under again. “I brought you blood.”

An #AgentGuide for my fantasy rom-com, Enchantments & Adversaries. This novel was selected for the 2024 #SmoochPit mentorship program and was revised with my mentor--now featuring more banter, more spice, and more pining! 💗

#amquerying #agentsguide #cozyfantasyromance
Against a reddish, purple sky, a dark haired woman in a plum dress stares at a smirking blond man. Text reads: an agent's guid to Enchantments & Adversaries, adult fantasy rom-com complete at 95k words, selected for the 2024 SmoochPit Mentorship Program. Text, left: After her latest protection charm prototype fails, Cecilia Thornhill is desperate enough for additional funding she considers a partnership from Caspian Wolfe, the founder of her province’s most-successful magical engineering firm, and her former college rival. He offers full use of his firm in exchange for co-credit and she agrees, knowing it’s her best shot at making a safer world for the magicless. After weeks of blazing chemistry in the lab and the bedroom, she realizes he’s no longer the man she once knew, but getting close to him puts everything at risk—if only her research would ward her traitorous heart. Photo, right: A dark haired woman in a green dress sits in a blond man's lap. For readers who enjoy: - stem based magic system - love on the brain by ali hazelwood - refuse to use first names - a witch's guide to fake dating a demon by sarah hawley - grounded fantasy - plus-sized fmc - "it was always you" - "slut!" (taylor's version) + the alchemy - do your worst by rosie danan - magical met gala - rivals with benefits - finding your power - the very secret society of irregular witches by sangu mandanna - complicated family dynamics/found family Center; photo of a brunette woman scowling at a blond man photo, right: brunette woman kissing a blond man in a lab text, left: “Cecily,” he rasps. “We started work a few minutes ago and you’re already trying to increase the tension between us.” I stare back at him, brows furrowing. “Do you have a weird lab kink I don’t know about? Is there something sexualized about mugwort I’m horribly naive to?” “Mugwort is probably the least sexy ingredient you could use.” He leans over the table and brushes his thumb gently over my bottom lip. I swallow. “But that,” he murmurs. “We may need to switch the order of research if you keep it up.” “Go grab the ingredient, Wolfe.” He chuckles and removes his hand from my face. My skin tingles in the wake of his touch, my pulse thrumming with magic. The itch starts again, the one I don’t know how to scratch. A simple touch has no right to feel that way. That good. Wolfe returns with the Mugwort, handing it over rather than disturb my collection of vials. “Behave,” I hiss. His eyes dance with mirth. The dimple is ever present on his cheek. “No promises.”
