AGENT INTEREST after a full request for querying novel CARELESS WHISPERS.

She's not the only one pretending to be someone she's not.

Snippet:
 โ€˜You know he's written a part for you in his play, don't you? Of course you do. That's what this is all about. What else can you want from him besides money and influence?'
     'Youโ€”' She turns to face him. 'You really are the most objectionable man I've ever met.'
     He grins. 'You should get out more. What's the matter? Think it'd be plain sailing?โ€™

THE EX VOWS X HOW TO END A LOVE STORY

Heโ€™s unsure heโ€™s worthy of her forgiveness. Sheโ€™s afraid to risk her heart again. The Universeโ€”and a cameraโ€”may be the only forces strong enough to reunite them after loss tore them apart.

Collage-style promotional graphic for the novel Babel on Callisto. Four illustrated polaroid images show two men, Jack (blond) and Elias (dark-haired with glasses), in different scenes: wearing space suits, working together in a lab, leaning close in a quiet moment, and kissing. The background is pink and textured with scientific sketches and handwritten notes. A torn paper excerpt of prose is centered. Text on the images reads โ€œBabel on Callisto,โ€ โ€œNow Querying,โ€ โ€œ88K Sci-Fi Horromance,โ€ and โ€œ@saraduranauthor.โ€

Pitch for The Refinement: Mercury by Rachel E. Tell, complete 90k word upper YA dark fantasy.

Along with a small tagline for the book, "Till the well runs dry."

Pitch for The Refinement: Mercury by Rachel E. Tell, complete 90k word upper YA dark fantasy. "When the insecurities of a powerful but anxious girl make her the prime target for an exploitative cult, she must learn to accept herself before she's consumed." Along with a small tagline for the book, "Till the well runs dry."

Mood board for The Refinement: Mercury by Rachel E. Tell. Includes a picture of Rhodes College, a mushroom circle, bats in a purple night sky, a well hung with lanterns, books and tea, silhouettes of a couple dancing, a silhouette of a girl being pupeteered, and a hand holding a crown. In the corners are gold images of mushrooms and a bee.

In the corners are gold images of mushrooms and a bee.

Excerpt from The Refinement: Mercury by Rachel E. Tell: 

      The figure dropped to the ground on all fours, its wings falling to either side, limp and useless. And it screamed. It was like the distant roar that sounded while the energies fought inside of [Redacted name], but this was unleashed, enraged, and very much here. The figureโ€™s face was like [Redacted name]'s but twisted into a mask of fury and hatred, mouth too wide, limbs now distorted, too thin, too long. And there were patches of blackened, charred skin, rimmed in red that slowly expanded.

      Like a fallen angel, a demon summoned from the depths of hell, it started crawling, four limbs moving quick, insect-like, leaving scorch marks on the floor. It rushed straight for [Redacted name], dragging its dead wings behind it.
