Charlotte’s daughter has a new boyfriend, and he totally sucks... 🧛🏻‍♂️

#agentguide #writingcommunity
Blue background with light images of bats, trees, and a graveyard. There is a large illustration of a vampire hovering over a witch with a birthday cake. A line at the top has my name (Maisie Patrick). Beneath in large pink letters is the title, SADIE’S BOYFRIEND SUCKS. Below that, it is labeled as an adult horror-comedy with a completed status. Steely aqua background with the title across the top. Large pink letters say “Comps.” There are pictures of the covers of CUTTING TEETH by Chandler Baker (a blue cover with a white picket fence dipped in blood), SUBURBAN HELL by Maureen Kilmer (pinkish red cover of three cartoon women behind a white picket fence, looking g at a hand bursting from a manicured lawn), and THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB’S GUIDE TO VAMPIRE SLAYING by Grady Hendrix (black cover with two large peaches, one of which is bleeding from fang punctures). Across the bottom are pictures of the leads from Twilight The Vampire Diaries, and Buffy. Large fangs with the titles “Tropes.” The following themes are written in little pink blood drops: Second chance romance, vampire hunter, vampire boyfriend (ew), who wants to live forever?, embedded screenplay, the PTA has a group chat, and “I like watching you sleep” The query letter: Charlotte has prepared for almost every single-mom problem, but she didn’t expect her daughter Sadie to fall irrevocably in love with a weirdo. Sure, teen love bites, but the way they stare hungrily into each other’s eyes makes Charlotte worry they’re taking the phrase a bit too literally. Across the street, Ian is the uncle-turned-caretaker for two freshly minted orphans. His shiny life insurance house is a fresh start, until he bumps into Charlotte, the one night stand from which he never recovered. He’s in over his head, so he’s relieved when his nephew, Jack, throws himself into an internship. The school librarian would be the perfect mentor, if it weren’t for the wooden stake Ian finds sandwiched between Jack’s overdue books. Charlotte grapples for control while Sadie disappears for long stretches and gets into screaming matches with friends. She’s even worried someone is peering through their windows at night. Charlotte’s only distraction is the spark reigniting between herself and Ian. But when he discovers vampires thanks to a mysterious podcast and several Ring cameras, it drives a wooden stake into the heart of their second chance romance. Ian is desperate for action, while Charlotte hunts for normalcy. Then the local teens kill a monster in the chem lab, and Charlotte can’t ignore the truth anymore. One dead vampire only lures more to their small town, and the increasingly feral kids seem to think they’re Buffy Summers. Charlotte and Ian must get their teens away from monsters before Jack joins his parents and Sadie makes a choice she can’t take back.

Work has been unbelievably awful for the last five months, but I’m trying to get back into the habit of writing and actually posting about it. I’m making an agent guide for my wip, and it’s been so fun and refreshing! Can’t wait to share later today. 💜

just binge watched five seasons of too hot to handle and am immediately following it with a last of us rewatch. i’m ready to write the project that my writing group said “is not marketable” and “you should probably write your other idea” 😈😈😈

my kid has an imaginary brother named Jokon (pronounced Joe-kahn). this weekend, he informed me that he woke up extra early because Jokon was screaming in his ear. surely nothing to worry about there 🫣

Hiiii all, I guess it’s time for a re-introduction:
👻 I’m Maisie! By day I’m a programmer
📚 By night I write horror
✨ And I co-author fantasy romcoms
🩷 Nothing pubbed yet, but I’ve been in the industry at varying levels for a decade
✍🏻 about to query my 13th (I think??) completed novel
