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 “Babel on Callisto,” “Now Querying,” “88K Sci-Fi Horromance,” and “@saraduranauthor.”

Eight years previously... That party at Cambridge was the first time they'd met... From family snaps of Kris, Listy had known what to expect, of course. What she didn't expect was the startled lurch as her eyes met his, the catch in her breath. He had merely dropped his gaze to his brother asleep with his head in Listy's lap. Then a very pretty, buxom undergrad had claimed his attention, sidling up to offer him a bottle of Kronenbourg with all the awe and piety of offering a libation to Zeus himself.

Black bg with pink paper heart strung, almost ripped in half roses are red... ryde cassidy is a catch... welcome, contestants, to LAST CHANCE MATCH an adult speculative sci fi horromance

Black bg with pink paper heart strung, almost ripped in half roses are red... the humanoid host is a bitch... but it makes a killer pitch Without a government-appointed soulmate, 28-year-old Cera faces extermination at thirty, the age at which soulmateless are killed to aid in population control and limiting resources. A new dating show, Last Chance Match, sets out to change the luck of the soulmateless and give them another shot at finding their other half. Cera is chosen to participate, but is quickly deflated when she’s paired with the infuriatingly attractive but mysterious Ryde. The show takes a dark turn when a fellow contestant is killed by the robot host, forcing Cera and Ryde to fight for their happily ever after—and to make it out alive.

Black bg with pink paper heart strung, almost ripped in half roses are red... the government is betraying... here's what the viewers are saying Lots of snippets from beta/alpha comments

Black bg with pink paper heart strung, almost ripped in half roses are red... cera should have seen the signs... especially with these opening lines The old holovision in the corner of Kona’s Diner projected the fuzzy image of a news reporter. A patron passed by it, their arm grazing the hologram. It skipped as the woman tilted her head, but her raven-colored bob stayed perfectly placed. “Within the next hour, eighteen lucky individuals will be notified via holomessage if they’ve been chosen to partake in Last Chance Match. To quote President Blanche, this initiative will allow for select soulmateless to find the one who’s to die for,” said the reporter. “As a reminder, it is mandatory for those chosen to travel to—” Cera shook her head, then grabbed a holotablet from the charging station. Last Chance Match was an excuse for the government to capitalize off the miserable lives of soulmateless and being so close to the age of thirty, Cera wouldn’t be picked for the show.

A movie poster for "CARGO", depicting a sunset with two crescent moons in the sky. In the foreground are silohettes of two people, only their arms visible, their pinky fingers grasping each other tightly. The arm on the left is thinner and has four fingers. The arm on the right is of average proportions and has five fingers. The top of the poster reads "A match made in space. While stealing things." Below the name "CARGO", there is smaller writing in an alien language, presumably the title translated. At the bottom of the poster, the credits section is as follows: CATHERINE WINTERS AND COREWARD BAKER PRODUCTIONS LTD PRESENT A CATHERINE WINTERS NOVEL ‘CARGO’ STARRING TAI OF MICAPA THYLLIS CHAUMEDEROT TALATAGARI QUIRIN TALATAGARI ANENTO FRANK THE CAT JEREL BESKROS CHOST MOL RAZIK FEATURING COOL MOSS ABOVE STILL WATER AND INTRODUCING CLARKE SHIPS BY SETEBO-URANQ AND CONSTANT VERIDITY INTERSTELLAR COSTUMES BY UPPER CORE ATELIER “HUMAN” CREATURE EFFECTS BY 3.8 BILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION CASTING BY THE TRADE AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CATHERINE WINTERS DIRECTED BY CATHERINE WINTERS WRITTEN BY CATHERINE WINTERS

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words "Did you hear? There's a human on board." A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling. alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH: Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist. Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway? That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no. PRIORITIES: make dinner remain cozy haul cargo go for drinks pull off one last score try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE: “Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.” I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity. “Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.” “Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table. It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best. The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”
