Yours is next, bud! Steven and I will get you something awesome.

Book cover artwork for "The Girl Who Didn't Go: A Private I.D. Mystery". We see the haunting and shadowy figure of a young girl pressing her hand against a wall of ice and an overlay of a frosty empty highway at night with sobering streetlights overhead.

My client Stephanie's detective novel is fully edited, so now it's time to wrap up layout and attributions, and this one's ready for publishing very soon. Big shout out to my friend Aaron who does amazing work with cover art! #booksky #fiction

BABEL ON CALLISTO Querying February 2025 @saraduranauthor sara.duran@bsky.social COMPS The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler, labeled “isolated research station” and “philosophical alien threat.” The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw, labeled “queer, visceral horror” and “love as a consuming force.” The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei, labeled “psychological unraveling” and “fracture under mission pressure.” PITCH “On a lunar prison outpost, two exiled men uncover a cosmic presence waking beneath the ice. As their uneasy alliance against it twists into something tender and terrifying, they are confronted with the one thing they never expected to find on a dead moon: a reason to live. But the ice is thinning.” TASTE “Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias’s imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—the time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction: how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.”

Coming soon to agent inboxes!

The shop does look great! Wait, are you shutting it down? It's just so hard as a small retail shop to get exposure, and also algorithms bury you and redirect to like Amazon. Also, in this administration no one has disposable income.
