It's an urban fantasy comedy. Since it's a Silence of the Lambs parody, it shares some of its thriller elements to it as well.

During my first drafts, their traits fit whatever gets them in the most trouble. Then I refine them from there.

What if the Arabian Nights-inspired world of THE STARDUST THIEF met the seafaring adventure of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN but with the Islamic mythological monsters of SPICE ROAD?

Top left: A pale, long-haired man lies curled on a dark bed, his vein glowing faintly violet beneath his skin, as a black crown rests beside him.

Top right: A dark-haired prince in a black cloak gently holds a woman with green-brown hair against a starry cosmos, their foreheads almost touching.

Bottom left: A monochrome portrait of the prince standing before an older crowned woman, both wearing expressions of cold distance and tension.

Bottom right: A shadowed figure curls within a cracked crystal cocoon of amethyst light, shards scattering outward like falling stars.

Love was erased from the prophecy.
A prince reborn from a dark entity meant to maintain balance, bound by his mother’s strings.
A girl with scars whose markings conceal a divine purpose. Her devotion transforms into defiance.
Together, they are each other's fate and each other's ending. #questpit #F

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR

Guilt is Cindren's anchor as much as it's her jailer, but her golden eyes speak of ancestry whispered amongst the forsaken. Something once slumbering has emerged within her, painting her destiny as dark as the cloak she was born to wear.

Snippet:
I think that’s when the thaw begins.
Not when he pulls me aside and tilts his head down. I briefly think we’ve never kissed in public.
And not when he gently presses his lips to mine, giving me the choice to leave it at that. Because in that moment, I burst into flames.
It all comes rushing back, like a punch to the heart that leaves me breathless. All the love and longing I feel for this man.

A disciplined French student falls for leafy, laid-back post-Cold War Berlin—and for her reluctant host, an ex-athlete reeling from a wrecked career and a failed marriage.
The devastating catch? She can’t stay.

An Agent's Guide to Careless Whispers, Romantic Suspense, a 97k word romantic suspense. Various pictures of characters from the book.

Pitch & Plot and has the following text:

With their multiple homes and a business portfolio of luxury hotels, the Constantines' lives might be a world away from 29-year-old Listy Powers’ but Troy and his sister Olympia are like family, an unlikely yet close bond forged years ago at university. So when she learns Olympia, badly injured in a car accident, is back home on the Greek island of Paxos, Listy sets off immediately to see her.

Being at their villa, however, means unavoidable proximity with Olympia's very disapproving eldest brother whom Listy has always loved. When they first met 8 years ago, Kris was a married man with a pregnant wife; now he's a widower. But as the attraction they'd fought back then re-kindles, suspicions resurface about Kris' wife's death. Beautiful, manipulative Rianna had not been well-liked. Her speciality was ferreting out people's secrets. And everyone, Listy discovers, has something to hide.

As she unravels what happened to Rianna, the truth threatens Listy’s future happiness and the lives of those dear to her, and she must decide if crossing that line to protect someone she loves is a price she's willing to pay.

OPENING LINES - When she hears the footsteps behind her, she doesn't rise from the lounger or look round but just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine, fixing her gaze ahead. Beyond the villa's perimeter wall where the wooded slopes fall away, the sea glimmers under the silver coin of a moon. 
   'I told you to leave,' she says, her voice slurred. 'It's over. There's nothing more to say.' 
   'I have plenty to say.' 
   Her head whips round then. She smiles.

SNIPPET - When she died,' Olympia says in a hard voice, 'I was relieved. All I could think was, we're free of her now. Now we can begin to be happy.' 
   Listy's face spasms. 'But you're not,' she says. 'None of you are. It scares me, Olympia, all this hate. So much hate. Troy has it too. It's like...like it's eating him up. Rianna's dead but she might as well not be, the hold she still has on you all.' 
   Olympia begins rummaging in the drawer again. 'You didn't know her. You wouldn't understand.' 
   'I want to. Tell me what happened the night she died. You said she and Kris were arguing.'

Grave of Flowers by Dua Ceren Ay Opening Lines: Every sane person knows better than to paint their walls eggshell white, but electric blue? That had to be a crime. Like whoever decided on the color scheme of this place was avoiding the topic altogether; yes, we were all crazy in here, and yes, we all knew they wanted to avoid the clichés.
So, no straitjackets, no padded rooms, no dull hospital gowns, just rooms and rooms and rooms of color until we bored ourselves to sleep or knocked ourselves out from the overstimulation.
We had Kelsie the high schooler folks who had become regulars around here liked to call Iron Fist—to thank for that demonstration.
It was just that the windows didn't open from the bottom, everything had a soft edge or lock, and the nurses had a way of always smiling at us as if we birthed their children. It was the little things that poked me.
So it was even more ridiculous that the early morning hour made the place seem... peaceful.

Title page for an agent's guide to KNOW YOU BETTER, adult plus-size romcom. Green background, two character stock photos, photos in polaroids to of tattooed hand holding, a corgi + golden retriever, and a Red Wings game

"Know You Better" one-paragraph pitch: After her boyfriend of six years moves out and leaves her with rent she can’t afford, retail manager Sydney Bennett is barely hanging on—juggling long shifts and a side hustle dog-sitting for clients with the worst-behaved pets in Metro Detroit. When she meets Owen Sutton in the personal care aisle after a rant about two “demonic Pomeranians,” he’s instantly charmed—and in need of a sitter for his own, much better-behaved dogs. What starts as a business arrangement turns into something gentler and deeper: a slow-burning romance between two people still healing from betrayal. But as Sydney faces losing her apartment and Owen’s past betrayal comes back to haunt him, they’ll have to decide if the safety they’ve found in each other is worth risking their hearts for. On a green background with two stock images of the characters

dark green background, title says THE PITCH. on the left are two green moodboards. the top one has weeping willows reaching water, a hand reaching from a tree trunk, a lake surrounded by trees, hands reaching for each other, a house surrounded by trees and a lake, someone running out of sight in a maze, a lake surrounded by trees, candlesticks on tree branches, and a pier jutting out into water. The bottom one has a hand reaching through tree bark; painting of Icarus as he falls by Gowy; a hand reaching to grasp berries; a lightbulb attracting butterflies; a tree grove; a piano in a greenhouse; Houasse painting of Daphne’s hand growing foliage; painting of crows on a branch; hands reaching through lily pads. on the left, over a white drawing of a crocodile: Summer, 1920.

Summer 1920. 8 children. 1 house. 1 games master. He’s a kid too, but this is his house, and it answers to him alone. Trapped in his games, they’ll have to get creative if they want to survive.

Blurb

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…

Ryn is a small-town thief who has a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them.

Five for Silver, Six for Gold…

Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture. 

Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told.
