The title slide of my humorous version of my Agent's Guide to my adult fantasy mystery novel A Wayward Balance.
Slide 2 of my humorous Agents Guide: The dreaded, yet required, One Paragraph pitch
Fiona and Dahlia work tirelessly each day to ensure the balance of eight worlds remains intact. Every rule must be followed, every life and every death scheduled and accounted for, every Chosen One meticulously hand selected to save any world on the verge of collapse from a wayward balance—a breaking—when the scales have tipped too far for too long. When the current Chosen One is found murdered on Dahlia’s doorstep, the two friends must work together to prove Dahlia’s innocence before her life is forfeit to offset the balance that has tipped beyond what anyone has seen before, leaving the futures of all eight worlds in jeopardy. To save the worlds, rules must be broken, time will be upended, secrets will demand to be revealed, and friendships must be sacrificed.
