Would you choose immortality?
Of course you would.
But let me tell you:
It’s a lie. A cruel, promise.
Because the hunger you live with—No, the hunger that you are—is worse.

House of Valentine - 98k words a gothic fantasy w/ a b-plot romance. #PopUpPit #PopUpPitA #Q #F #G #R #booksky #LuckyPit
'House of Valentine' by Taylor Renee. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, overlaid with watercolor illustrations of a skull roses, daisies, and pine trees. The title 'HOUSE OF VALENTINE' is prominently displayed in large, elegant white letters. Below the title, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' and 'AGENT & EDITOR GUIDE' in smaller white font. The overall aesthetic is moody and romantic, with a gothic fantasy vibe. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, adorned with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'EXCERPT' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by a poetic passage: 'If you could live for centuries—through famine and plague, through wars that razed cities and left ash in their wake, that not even a bomb crashing through your home could destroy you—would you choose immortality? Wouldn't you dream of such a gift? To remain as you were as the world crumbles around you, and rebuilds itself, endlessly? Of course you would. That’s the allure, isn’t it? The whispered fantasy of endless time, of infinite existence. But let me tell you: it’s a lie. A cruel promise. Because after enough centuries, you begin to wish for the plague to ravage your body, to tear through your flesh and wring you dry of life. You begin to long for the bomb to shatter you, burn away your skin until you’re nothing but bone and ash. You’d pray for the famine to hollow you out, for hunger to gnaw at your insides so violently that you might finally collapse under the weight of mortality. Because the hunger you live with—No, the hunger that you are—is worse.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, embellished with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The word 'BLURB' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by the blurb: 'When anthropology student Hazel Adler travels to a remote Swiss village for her thesis, she expects folklore and forgotten traditions—not a hidden world of vampires, deadly politics, and a centennial festival that’s more nightmare than celebration. She was never meant to survive it. Her only lifeline? Soren Valentine—a vampire with a past as blood-soaked as his fangs. As the lines between myth and reality blur, Hazel must fight to survive in more ways than one. Trusting Soren may be her only chance—but the monster who saved her life hides dangerous secrets of his own. Survival means risking everything. House of Valentine is a gothic fantasy filled with sharp fangs, fragile alliances, and a slow-burn b-plot romance that will leave you breathless.' The bottom is decorated with a border of watercolor roses in shades of red and purple. 'House of Valentine' by Taylor Renee, focusing on tropes, themes, and comps. The background features a vintage, textured design with faded text, adorned with watercolor illustrations of roses and pine branches. The text 'TROPES & THEMES & COMPS' is displayed at the top in large, elegant white letters. Below, the text reads: 'TAYLOR RENEE | 98,000 | ITSTAYLORRENEE1@GMAIL.COM' followed by a list of tropes and themes: 'ROMEO & JULIET, BEAUTY & THE BEAST, ALLIES TO LOVERS, MORALLY GRAY CHARACTERS, VAMPIRE SOCIETY, SLOW BURN.' The image includes three book cover comps: 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice, 'The Beautiful' by Renée Ahdieh, and 'A Discovery of Witches' by Deborah Harkness, each framed with a pink border.

A moodboard for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor. It shows a spooky staircase, a decayed living room, a girl climbing out of a well, a book on fire, a lovely Victorian garden party, and a gothic dinner. There is the phrase "Breaking the curse means losing him forever. Embracing it may damn her soul" The comps for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor The House at Watch Hill with its dark inheritance and family secrets The Hacienda with its unresolved grief, psychological unraveling, an supernatural dread Crimson Peak with its decaying grandeur, gothic vibes, and betrayed love The pitch for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor: This 96,000-word story set in 1919 blends the psychological unraveling and creeping dread of THE HACIENDA with the sentient, menacing estate of STARLING HOUSE. Perfect for readers who love haunted legacies, doomed romance, and houses that refuse to let go. A dying estate. A bankrupt legacy. A suitor offering salvation or a love that could destroy her. A mother’s death shrouded in mystery. A father she can’t trust. A blood curse feeding the manor’s hunger. Lottie Bradbury must face it all. Summoned home after a decade at boarding school, Lottie is given an ultimatum: marry the man her father has chosen or face ruin. But when the gardener is found dead on the manor steps, she is drawn into a web of long-buried secrets. His son, Arthur, insists the estate itself is to blame—and that her mother’s sudden death was no accident. Guided by her mother’s chilling diary, Lottie and Arthur uncover an ancient curse that doomed generations of Bradbury patriarchs to die after the birth of their heir. All except her father. The deeper they dig, the more the curse retaliates, twisting reality, conjuring the dead, and unraveling Lottie’s sanity. But Arthur has secrets of his own. The closer Lottie gets to him, the stronger the curse’s grip tightens. Because Arthur isn’t just tied to Bradbury Manor. He’s bound to it. Breaking the curse means losing him forever. Embracing it may damn her soul.

When an MI5 agent is framed for the UK's role in a temporal disaster, he must clear his name, seal a lethal time rift, and locate a desperate Russian spy from the future - a spy whose time weapon can kill anyone.
