Over an olive-green background, there are three images. In the upper left corner is an image of a blue football helmet sitting on a football field at night. In the lower right is an image of coniferous trees cloaked in fog. In the center is a snippet from my book which reads: "The very moment her mom drives away, I blurt, “She’s gone. You can come out.” Willow worms her way out from under the counter, looks me in the eye, and then starts running out without saying anything. “Wait!” I exclaim. She pauses, watching me warily, as I fumble for something to say. Something smart, firm, and reasonable that can get me answers about what's thing is happening right now. About whether she’s safe. Or whether she’s dangerous. Instead, I ask, “Maple bar?” She grabs one from the display case and bolts out the door, and the donut shop is quiet again. Like nothing ever happened, except for some dirt on the tile and a trash can out of place."

SUPERNATURAL x FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

After a starved+beaten girl runs through the donut shop where he's working alone, Grayson has to convince his teammates she's in danger & hiding in the woods

The only problem? She's a famous influencer & her accounts are posting as usual

Black and white background of desert sand dunes with white script "The City of Dragon Glass by Taylor Leigh Agent Guide"

Background of black and white desert sand dunes The Pitch Nefeli's gift of sensing magical relics has made her a world-class thief, but tapping into her power comes with a cost: her vision. With every use of her magic, her degenerative eye disorder worsens. A few more heists and Nefeli fears she'll be left with vague shadows in the dark—something she's avoiding at all costs. What use is a thief who can't see what she's trying to steal? But when her sister Sadiya's fragile health crumbles, Nefeli must choose: her sight or her sister. Against Sadiya's wishes, Nefeli agrees to a dangerous job posing as a noble at a political summit. If Nefeli can hunt down a long-hidden relic for a secretive influential family, she'll earn enough for her sister's treatment. The catch? The summit is crawling with dragons, scheming politicians, powerful magic users…and worst of all, Kadir, a former fling who knows Nefeli's not who she claims to be. Nefeli only has a fortnight to find the missing relic before access to the palace closes for another century. If she's going to succeed, she must rely on Kadir's help, despite the risk of him blowing her cover at any moment. And with her vision tunneling in, completing the job will force Nefeli to confront her biggest fear: without her sight, who is she? The City of Dragon Glass by Taylor Leigh

Background of black and white desert sand dunes The Snippet "I'm scared," she whispered. "I'm scared of the day I open my eyes and there's nothing left to see. It doesn't matter that there are aids or that so many people thrive without sight. I know that one day, my memories of what things look like will fade—and they will. Even now, I forget constellations that I used to be able to see. Like those constellations, all other images will fade into the darkness until I don't remember the details of a sunset, or the flash of Sadiya's smile. I will be trapped inside my head, smothered by the knowledge of just how much I've forgotten." The City of Dragon Glass by Taylor Leigh
