#QuestPit

A man unemployed so long that the foster home he and his wife own will be foreclosed, must apprentice with his retired master thief father, who has Alzheimer’s, and turn to crime. The score? A portrait of the Prez and $1M in cash.

It's #QuestPit, so here's an agent's guide to my dark retelling, BEARSKIN 🕯️✨ A tale of winter magic, tragic romance, and embracing the monsters within.

WHERE THE DARK STANDS STILL X MY LADY JANE

#W #YA #RF
A cover page with a polar bear in the background. The text reads: An Agent's Guide to Bearskin, A Fairytale Retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon The Pitch: There’s a troll in Freya Perin’s attic that only she can see, and it’s ruining her flawless reputation. Arranged to wed Kolsevic’s most eligible bachelor, Freya is determined to keep her visions a secret and leave her family’s scandalous legacy of madness behind. But when dark magic freezes her sister’s heart, only Freya knows the truth: a mythical creature called the Frost King is waking. Her only hope for a cure lies deep in the northern mountains, a place steeped in the very magic she’s spent her life hiding from. The journey is treacherous, and desperation forces her to form a pact with Soren, a notorious thief with secrets of his own. Freya and Soren must race to rescue her sister and stop the Frost King from unleashing an eternal winter . . . whilst resisting an attraction that threatens to destroy everything. Comps, Themes & Tropes image. Includes the following comps: Where the Dark Stands Still, The Thirteenth Child, Spinning Silver, and My Lady Jane. Includes the following themes: Dark fairytale retelling, Wicked betrayals, Forced proximity, Yearning, Wintery Ambience, Magical plague, Morally grey FMC, Generational curses The Opening: Freya Perin pretended not to notice the troll lurking in the corner of the parlor. No one else saw the creature, of course, but its beady eyes bored into her skull all the same. It snapped its gnarled fingers once. Twice. It hissed. “Look at me.” Beneath a placid smile, Freya gritted her teeth and focused her attention on her future husband’s well-oiled moustache. After their wedding, that would be the first thing to go.

When everyone she loves has motive for a murder, a PR exec who's always tried to do the 'right thing' must decide how far she'll go to protect them. Especially the man she's in love with. The dead woman's husband.

An Agent's Guide to Careless Whispers, Romantic Suspense, a 97k word romantic suspense. Various pictures of characters from the book. Pitch & Plot and has the following text: With their multiple homes and a business portfolio of luxury hotels, the Constantines' lives might be a world away from 29-year-old Listy Powers’ but Troy and his sister Olympia are like family, an unlikely yet close bond forged years ago at university. So when she learns Olympia, badly injured in a car accident, is back home on the Greek island of Paxos, Listy sets off immediately to see her. Being at their villa, however, means unavoidable proximity with Olympia's very disapproving eldest brother whom Listy has always loved. When they first met 8 years ago, Kris was a married man with a pregnant wife; now he's a widower. But as the attraction they'd fought back then re-kindles, suspicions resurface about Kris' wife's death. Beautiful, manipulative Rianna had not been well-liked. Her speciality was ferreting out people's secrets. And everyone, Listy discovers, has something to hide. As she unravels what happened to Rianna, the truth threatens Listy’s future happiness and the lives of those dear to her, and she must decide if crossing that line to protect someone she loves is a price she's willing to pay. OPENING LINES - When she hears the footsteps behind her, she doesn't rise from the lounger or look round but just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine, fixing her gaze ahead. Beyond the villa's perimeter wall where the wooded slopes fall away, the sea glimmers under the silver coin of a moon. 'I told you to leave,' she says, her voice slurred. 'It's over. There's nothing more to say.' 'I have plenty to say.' Her head whips round then. She smiles. SNIPPET - When she died,' Olympia says in a hard voice, 'I was relieved. All I could think was, we're free of her now. Now we can begin to be happy.' Listy's face spasms. 'But you're not,' she says. 'None of you are. It scares me, Olympia, all this hate. So much hate. Troy has it too. It's like...like it's eating him up. Rianna's dead but she might as well not be, the hold she still has on you all.' Olympia begins rummaging in the drawer again. 'You didn't know her. You wouldn't understand.' 'I want to. Tell me what happened the night she died. You said she and Kris were arguing.' Collage of pictures and the title The Vibes, Tropes & Themes & The Comps. Tropes and Themes are: du Maurier's Rebecca vibes; Found family; Loss; Slow burn romance; Yearning; Obsession; Unrequited love; Secrets; Betrayal; Murder The Comps – Nanny Wanted by Lizzy Barber, End of Story by AJ Finn, The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and the Sky Atlantic series Riviera

Have any indie/self-published authors been contacted by “book clubs” about their books being featured? I’ve been getting some emails like that this month and it feels like a scam.
