Thank you so much! Once it is fully ready, I will send it over to you!

Thank you! I had so much fun making it!

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other.

It's only natural that they become friends with benefits.

All too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

“THE STARS & THE GHOST THEY CREATED” UPMARKET CONTEMPORARY ADULT/NEW ADULT

PREMISE * When a college student with secrets to hide collides with a girl who is used to running away, neither knows just how deep the cracks in their foundations might go-but sometimes the walls must fall for the beauty beneath to be revealed. COMPS • Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead • My Friends • The Wedding People • Eleanor Oliphan is Completely Fine

SNIPPET CHAPTER 1 The monster never gets forgiven in fairy tales. I've read enough to know. The grating rasp of my fingernails scraping against the already-torn skin of my fingers echoes through my bones. Rattling. Never settling. The air hums with overlapping sounds—a symphony of incessant buzzing that crescendos into an eerie ringing. I don't know whether it's coming from the electric lights that cast a ghostly halo onto the sidewalk beneath me or from somewhere deep inside my body where I can't see. It's suffocating. I imagine it's what being buried alive feels like. Having your lungs fractured into pieces too small to put back together. Or like drowning. But I know what that feels like.

MY FRIENDS x EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM WILL SOMEDAY BE DEAD

A boy with secrets to hide collides with a girl who is used to running away, leaving both with broken walls and fractured, but healing, hearts.

Writing a fantasy after an upmarket contemporary is a weird transition…especially when your idea for the book after the fantasy also takes a sharp left turn (Appalachian folkhorror)

The image shows a woman hugging a man. To the side, the title How to Heal A Broken Heart is to the side, with the genre contemporary romance underneath.

Kira Larson is newly single and hating it. For the past 2 years, her identity has been wrapped up in being one half of a pair. Lost, confused, and still in love with her ex, she's willing to do whatever it takes to get over him. Xavier Herrera has no time for relationships. He's determined to make fire captain in the next five years, and he can't afford any distractions. Let alone one that will force him to reevaluate what he's willing to sacrifice to save others. But neither of them can deny the insane chemistry between them. Desperate to forget about her ex, Kira suggests a solution for their problems: free reign to explore their physical connection with no expectations. After all, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else... Right? The image shows a blonde woman, smiling softly at the viewer.

A bead of sweat trails down my forehead as I walk towards the door. What in the world could be so urgent at four pm on a Monday? I have half a mind to chew out whoever’s on the other side of that door. Probably more missionaries trying to convince me to join their church or some salesman peddling insurance I have no need for. I throw the door open with a bag, my protest already on my lips. “No, I have no interest in accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and– Kira?” The sight of her makes me freeze. She looks so put together that I’m suddenly embarrassed to be greeting her in sweats and a tank top. Her blonde waves are pulled up in a well-styled bun, held together by a carefully positioned clip. I have the irrational urge to get rid of that stupid clip and wrap her hair around my fist instead. God, what the hell is it about this girl? Okay, it definitely doesn’t hurt that her short pumps and navy pencil skirt are making her legs look fantastic, but I completely forget how to function around her. She offers me a hesitant smile. “I was considering converting to Satanism myself.” “And you need me to do what? Be a willing sacrifice?” Kira’s blue eyes roam my body as I invite her into the apartment. “That wouldn’t work, they usually want virgins.” The image shows a man with long dark hair, casually seated against the corner of the frame.

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're very attracted to each other.

Naturally, they become friends with benefits.

All too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

Title: Pitch Text: Jette is conflicted to learn her adopted father might be dead. He saved her from a childhood disease, but he also controlled her with paranoid ranting about cannibals in high places wanting to steal her away. Now, government agents claim Jette's father has been eaten, undoing years of hope that he was simply delusional. In fact, they say the entirety of humanity's underground sanctuary is in danger of eating itself alive, and her family might the first on the chopping block. Jette resolves to reunite her estranged siblings, none of whom believe the cannibalistic threat to be genuine, because she knows something even the government doesn't: She was the first one to take a bite. Background image: same as first slide.

Title: Pitch Text: In the twenty years since the vampires rose up out of the earth, Corado hasn’t done too bad for himself. He’s still alive, for one, and he’s got a lucrative trade as a nightrunner smuggling people beneath the vampiric horde that blots out the sky each night. It's dangerous work, but enough to get a roof over his head and a bottle in his hand at the end of the day. That’s pretty good for life under the vampires. Then an attack from the horde leaves him stuck in the desert, alone with a newly-orphaned boy, and his luck finally dries up. He resolves to find what remains of the boy’s family and put it all behind him—but instead of taking him off Corado’s hands, his so-called “family” offers a new deal: escort them to the vampiric capital in exchange for a veritable fortune. Corado knows he shouldn’t. It’s a long, dangerous route, and the group has a smack of sedition to them that he knows firsthand to be a quick way to a bloody death. It is a hell of a lot of money, though. Background image: same as first slide.

SINNERS x THE DEVILS x CASTLEVANIA

There's three rules to surviving as a nightrunner: don't get comfortable, don't be a hero, and don't be unlucky.

Corado's about to break all three.
