#Q #agentsguide KINSHIP, 84k, #A #CT w/ #LGBTQ rep. Megan’s reunion with her long lost brother is complicated when he kills his lover. Luckily, Megan’s prepared for this. Subversion of gothic tropes + send up of true crime culture. #miserypit
Amber Baird: KINSHIP, 84k word horror-thriller agent's guide. Subversion of gothic tropes, long-lost siblings, true crime podcast, prey, family secrets, psychedelic, unhinged queer female protagonist, generational trauma, predators, meat, bears, remote California location, dark humor. KINSHIP blurb. Megan's already trying to avoid the heat for what happened to her girlfriend's husband back in San Francisco, and now she has to help her incompetent new brother clean up a murder he commits, because that's what family's for... probably. Now if she wants to get back to her lover in one piece, she'll have to navigate her brother's taboo affections and dodge multiple suspicious parties. So much for her quiet weekend away. KINSHIP first lines. Driving all night across the state in a part of California no one vacations in, a part that still belongs to the animals, my eyes burn for sleep. Car flanked as it is by clear paths as far as I can see, would it be so bad to let my eyes drift closed for just a moment? KINSHIP, for fans of: Maeve Fly by CJ Leeds (surrealism), My Sister the Serial KIller by Oyinkan Braithwaite (exploration of family), A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers (dark humor), Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild (female rage).

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT x THE GIRL FROM WIDOW HILLS

Haunted by the serial killer she escaped twenty years ago, Minyoung will do anything to protect her hard-won life, even if that means confronting secrets that could destroy the few precious relationships in her life.

#MiseryPit #A #Q #CT
Moodboard of nine images. From top left to bottom right: a body floating out of a sewer outfall; a scattered collection of photographs and a missing person sign; a large, jagged hole through a wooden structure, as if something crashed through; the back of a large truck, with the rear end reading "too many deaths, too much pain;" a woman's figure standing with her car, door open and glowing, during twilight; text reading "we are all museums of fear;" a painting of a person swinging a knife; a painting of a head with only one eye, and the eye is being placed on by another figure right behind them; dozens of hands crawling out of the water to a single high point.

Mixing sugar with butter? Good.
Mixing business with pleasure? Bad. Terrible. Stupid.
But there's no crying in baking, and the cost to save S&N Sweets? Pretending to be his live-in girlfriend.

#R #A #YouDeservePit #AmEditing
It'll Cost You: A Contemporary Romance Comps: Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey, A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn, 2 Broke Girls TV Show Natasha has one dream: to take S&N Sweets from side business to storefront bakery. When her sugar daddy leaves her, she’s chef kitchenless, broke, and lands flat on her back underneath her annoying co-worker, Beckett. Rock has met bottom until Beckett makes her an offer she can’t refuse: pretend to be his live-in girlfriend, and she can have full access to his ovens. Another agreement without sweet promises, because no one stays in Nat’s life forever. Beckett doesn’t need a girlfriend to be happy, despite the protests of his friends and family. All he wants is to be promoted from VP of Operations to COO of Carmichael, Lennox & Ross, Corp.. He just needs to survive the acquisition of Sterling Property Group, all while pretending to be someone he’s not. When Nat derails all his plans, he wrestles between being the man he promised someone else he would be, or the happy one he never thought he’d be again. Snippet from IT'LL COST YOU where Natasha wagers her terms to pretend to be Beckett's girlfriend, stating it'll cost him if he wants her to be sweet and loving.

Title says The Vibes - moodboard with the following photos - the Acropolis at night; a man in a villa swimming pool at night. A note saying 'I know what you did'; a couple kissing; a Mrs Danvers type silhouette parting fine, lace curtains. In the centre is a partial photo of a dead woman floating in water. Either side is a photo of a man standing at a desk, hanging his head; a couple's clasped hands; a lone man standing on a rock by the sea; a woman gazing up at a man, her arms round his neck. Last row has a woman screaming, her head thrown back; the silhouette of a woman in a party dress running; a smashed wine glass and broken phone; a car driving away on a deserted coastal road at night; and a couple embracing, the woman tearful.

Hello #LitAgents:

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.

This is a 2x3 moodboard. All pictures have lines that align together to help them flow more into each other and seem more connected. On the left are darker, warm-tinted modern scenes featuring a young man with his arms crossed in a field, a locked rusty door, and a street. On the right are lighter, cool-tinted ancient scenes featuring a young woman delicately embracing flowers, a closeup of a slightly ajar ancient paper door, and a traditional walled cityscape

A suburban alley, a cat with silver eyes, a scraggly dog, a magical parrot, an angry owl, and a small mouse holding a letter. The text says, THE CAT WITH THE SILVER EYES; what if the rose bush in The Secret of NIMH led to a magical animal society hidden in plain sight?
