 I make sure I have my phone and wallet and make for the door. But I pause when my hand touches the doorknob. Every single part of my body wants to stay right here.

 Ari’s laying on his side, arm hanging off the bed. He looks so hopelessly beautiful like this, his face peaceful, hair messy. I move a little closer to get a better look at his eyelashes.

An Agent's Guide to GOOD FRIENDS / A YA Queer Contemporary Romance / 83K words

PITCH: Ruben Montoya and Ari Valdez are more than good friends–they’re best friends. They play on the same baseball team, finish each other’s sentences, and plan on being roommates in college next year. Ari is the one constant in Ruben’s life, which is why he’s fine pretending that being friends is all he wants and smothers his jealousy over how Ari outshines him in every way, from baseball to class. As long as Ari is around, Ruben will be okay.

But when Ari catches the attention of a cute girl in school and a university scout halfway across the country, Ruben spirals, struggling to keep feelings he’s suppressed for years from crawling to the surface. As Ari prepares to leave and Ruben’s attempts at normalcy end in arguments and heartache, Ruben must confront his feelings and fears to prove he’s a good friend—and more—or risk losing Ari forever.

FIRST PAGE: Ari is unfamiliar when he stands opposite me on the field, and it makes me lose my balance.

I fix my stance. I weigh the ball in my hand, trying to find my place again.

It’s his dark eyes, the way they narrow as I hide the ball in my glove. It’s in the stillness of his body and his tight grip on the bat. He’s dissecting each move I make, but he’s not seeing me.

The day is hot for spring in Oregon, and beneath his batting helmet, sweat dampens the collar of his shirt, brown skin glistening. The back of my own neck burns from the heat, but I feel it from a distance, like the sunburn is already a memory.

When Ari looks at me like a stranger, I don’t know where to put my feet.

It would be easier if I could look away, but since it’s not an option, I forget the thought, squeezing the baseball between my fingers until my hand aches. My worn glove hides my trembling.
 
I take a deep breath. Steady. I can do this.

Today is the day I strike him out. Today, I’m going to win.

Ari blinks once, slow. I throw.

He swings, and I can tell from the angle, the sound the bat makes when it connects—home run. Cheers sound all over the field, teammates turning Ari’s name into a chant as he jogs through the bases, his mouth a wide grin.

I slip off the glove, press my shaking hands together, and try to make them still.

The smoke rises like a phantom snake, stirring around the white ceiling tiles before disappearing into thin air.

A woman inherits two portraits, and is haunted by a specter guiding her closer to the truth--hidden behind the walls of a sanatorium in the woods.

Cyberpunk, tech-noir style movie pitch poster for HAWKE ARCHIVES, a Kaitlin Harvey original novel. Starring: identity dissolution, techno paranoia, real privacy threats, and a thriller structure with a bleeding heart. A quantum core looms in the background, next to the tagline: "ALL PARENTS LIE TO PROTECT THEIR KIDS. HERS LIED TO PROTECT THE WORLD." A glitchy, hooded figure stares out at the audience, but we don't know who they are. Overlaid near the title of the novel, a hawk and radar graphic stretches offscreen. Beneath the title, the pitch: "Disgraced hacker Carley Hawthorne must untangle her father's past before his quantum algorithm can destroy all data privacy--and her very identity." Beneath this, to both unnerve and entice: "THIS THRILLER READS YOU."

Mock movie poster for The Telford Liar by Noga Khen. Over a pale pink background is a monochrome, pink-filtered photo of a young woman with blond hair in a forties-style bob, wearing a headscarf and a short-sleeved sweater over a collared shirt. She carries a jacket over her shoulder and looks to the side with a smirk.
Above the photo is dark text that reads: Crime thriller, post-WW2 USA, 86000 words. On the left are mock testimonials: beta readers say, "Local woman incapable of taking accountability for her own actions, more at 8," the group chat says, "Your honor she did all that, but she was right," and my girlfriend says, "Here's how Dani can still win." On the right are tropes stylized as film awards with laurel leaves surrounding each trope: biting criticism, women's wrongs, and fraud, arson, and murder galore. Above the title is the tagline, "High above the Susquehanna, vengeance is her goal." At the very bottom is text that reads, "Get schooled 4/19/2025."
