Due to Typhoon Tino our house sustained damage and need repairs, I'll be donating some of the earnings to other victims of the storm as well. It would mean so much if you could send support or at least share this post. DM me to inquire.

#DVPit #NA #Romcom to save the tea shop two college witches work part time at they do a “meet your matcha” date event where romance & tea are featured. Then a handsome devil, literally, challenges them to a contest. Winner takes all… the souls. Can they convince him love really does conquer all?

#DVpit #MG #Horror The ocean fog was thick, the air heavy, voices whisper of ancient curses. When 12yo Brinna's father & his fishing boat go missing, she knew it was time to act. W/her dog Paddles & her best friend Chase, she rowed to the island demanding his return - no sacrifice was too great.

#DVPit #MG when a hungry dragon is accidentally summoned by a boy with no magic, he has until midnite to return the creature to its own world or become its next meal. Instead, the 2 team up against the school bully to save the town's magic well from being drained by the bully and his uncle.

#DVpit #YA #SF when an unexpected guest arrives inside space junk picked up by her family’s garbage scow 18yo Alyse finds herself at the center of a political disaster in the making. The handsome escaped convict enlists her help to prove his innocence and avoid a galactic war.

I understand that a lot of kidlit authors stopped writing cause their books were banned, but also, kids need your books. For every school admin that bans them there's a teacher or a librarian getting them into kid's hands and that HAS to matter more

#DVPit #YA #T when her sister goes missing camping w/3 friends 17yo Maddie sets out to find them, but as bodies pile up & secrets unravel, she fears her sister isn’t missing at all, but instead is responsible for the tragedies unfolding. To prove innocence she’ll have to find her before the police

#DVPIT #MG to save his land from decay a reluctant hero will journey to a disappearing castle to seek help from a reclusive sorcerer. To enter the castle he must battle a troll, solve a door barring riddle, and exchange his story for the library’s secrets without losing his mind to the magic.

Trying to find the treasure her family lost generations ago, a young girl and her best friend encounter mythical beings who hold clues to a legacy she didn't know she had, and a secret about a family she never knew she was part of, forcing her to choose her destiny. #BluePit #W #MG #F

SERENDIPITY + FUNNY STORY
Signs are everywhere, knowing what they mean is up for debate as a couple meet, fall in love, but question whether they're meant for each other so make a vow to meet 2yr later. Hilarity ensues when they meet at the wedding of one & the flame rekindles #Bluepit #W #A #Romcom
