🔮Dark times are upon Narissa’s home town, with the Snow Queen sending it into an economic freeze, but when a handsome yet clumsy debut Overlord arrives, she risks her “good witch” status by joining forces to strategize a coup🔮

Movie poster-style graphic for novel called ‘ALL YOUR QASAMS’ with author’s name Neha Yazmin underneath the bold title. Image is a close-up of a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery, smiling down at her maroon outfit. Along the top of the poster are the names of two comparison book titles ‘NEVER HAVE I EVER’ and “THE BEST LAID PLANS”. In the left corner of the poster, are three 5-star movie review-style texts pertaining to different aspects of the book. 1: “South Asian Main Cast. 2: “Friends to lovers with a difference” 3: “Bengali teens in STEM”.

Moodboard for ALL YOUR QASAMS with a quote from the novel reading, ‘You are madness incarnate’ and five images: picture of a hot chocolate drink and heart-shaped cookies, a couple embracing during a boat ride, a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery smiling down at her maroon outfit, a close-up of a young man kissing the forehead of a young woman, a close-up the joined hands of a south Asian bride and groom, a young man in an aesthetic library reading a hardcover text book. The moodboard has the premise of the story written above it, which reads: “17-year-old Kavi thinks this year is her last chance to meet a boy and fall in love—due to a certain Qasam—and is out to find a boyfriend. Enter Aaron Mirza. He’s perfect, smitten. So, she must be perfect too. Her childhood best friend Ryhan will show her the ropes and become her Practice Boyfriend, right? But Ryhan has a secret, which could ruin everything. And if Kavi’s strict grandfather learns about her boyfriends, the real one or the fake, he’ll crush her dreams of moving to Scotland for her Medicine Degree.”

Crime?
I made my BFF a practice boyfriend so I could become the perfect girlfriend to my actual boyfriend

Defence?
It was my only shot at love & relationships; it had to be perfect

Sentence:
Threat of losing everything—even my dreams of studying Medicine in🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿—if the truth comes out

In red text on a holly themed background: An Agent's Guide to Three's the Season! On the far left side is an image of two women and a non-binary person in front of the US Congress building. A red Santa hat caps off the title.

Comps for a new novel: Three's the Season. These include KISS HER ONCE FOR ME due to the sapphic yearning with all the feels. TRIPLESEC for the polyamorous romance. A MERRY LITTLE MEET CUTE for the spicy yuletide shenanigans.

The pitch: After suffering a humiliating public meltdown, grieving lawyer Charlotte seeks solace with her two best friends- only to be caught off guard by unexpected romantic feelings. By Christmas Day, she'll have to decide between starting fresh in a new city or risking her friendships for a second shot at love in this holiday RomCom set in Washington DC.

The Snippet: I slide into my office: Charlotte Sanders-Stewart Esq. emblazoned on the door. The vinyl lettering is a bit chipped, but that’s to be expected after ten years. I take out my laptop from my sensible Kate Spade tote, slip out of my sensible sneakers and into my slippers. Yes, I have a pair of office heels in my bottom desk drawer, I wasn’t raised in a barn. But most meetings are on zoom anyway so my black Jimmy Choo's that I bought with my first ‘big girl’ paycheck have mostly been collecting dust for the last five years. By the way, my office is gorgeous, the floor to ceiling windows with an amazing view of the Washington skyline. Real romantic comedy shit. Like Katherine Heigl should play me in the movie they make about my life. Just make sure that it ends seven years ago with the big white wedding and not like now with the dead husband. Kind of puts a damper on the whole Nancy Meyers vibe you know?

Hallmark Meets Poly: THREE'S THE SEASON

Grieving lawyer Charlotte enlists her 2 best friends to finish her late husband's last wish: the Christmas List. When unexpected romantic feelings emerge she'll have to decide whether to risk her found family for a second chance at love.

A cover slide that has a desert background with the words, “The 35K word supernatural horror novella Windego: An Agent’s Guide”

A slide with a pitch and blurb. The pitch says: Ivy’s world comes to a screeching halt when her boyfriend, Vince, and his friends all vanish without a trace during a camping trip in West Texas. When Vince shows up cold and shivering on the doorstep in the middle of the night two weeks later, it feels like all of her prayers have been answered, but his strange and disturbing behavior leads Ivy to wonder whether he really ever came home at all. The blurb says: Ivy has everything a girl could want: a thriving pottery business, a beautiful home, and a boyfriend she loves . One weekend is all it takes to destroy her life beyond repair. When Vince and his friends all vanish without a trace while camping in West Texas, Ivy is left alone and adrift, until a stray dog shows up on her porch. She’s always wanted a dog, and Vince has always promised her they’d get one some day, just not today, or tomorrow, or next week. Taking the dog in feels like admitting that Vince is never coming home, but Ivy has to start rebuilding her life at some point. When Vince shows up two weeks later, cold and shivering in the middle of the night, unable to remember anything about his trip, Ivy is elated. She can see the life she’s always wanted coming back to her, and better than ever. But Vince and the dog can’t stand each other, and by shades and degrees, it becomes clear that whatever Vince went through has fundamentally changed him, and Ivy starts to wonder how different someone can become before they aren’t themselves anymore.

A slide with a texas flag style background. On the left it says For fans of: The Only Good Indians, A House with Good Bones, The Lamb, and The Hollow Kind. On the top right, it says: Themes: Facing intimate partner coercion and manipulation, mounting paranoia and distrust in reality, social isolation, platonic soulmates, and overcoming trauma. On the bottom right, it says: Key elements: Based in native american folklore (own voices), Unreliable narrator, Surrealist blending of reality, strong imagery, and body horror

A slide that says excerpt at the top and is followed by: Sometimes, he talks about how I’m different from Mike and Jake’s girlfriends. How Steph and Amber won’t run errands for them like I do for him, or how they insist on having something their way, how they aren’t agreeable or generous like me. I know it should be a compliment, when says he’s happy I’m not a “bitch-wife” the way they sometimes are, but it doesn't feel like one. When we first started dating, he only ever said bitch-wife to make fun of the men who married women they clearly didn’t really like - a jab at the idea of a man who thinks his wife asking for anything makes her unreasonable. We’d laughed together about it, said we loved each other too much to ever be that mean and bitter, that we’d always do anything for each other. I'd believed it too, when he'd said he'd do anything for me. I’m not sure when it changed, when he started to use it for real. It was slow, I guess. The kind of creep you don’t really notice until you hear it one day and it hits you that it isn't funny anymore. That it doesn’t mean what it used to. He still uses it the old way sometimes. Just enough that I can’t ever be entirely sure whether he’s really calling Steph and Amber bitches, or whether he’s mocking Mike and Jake. I like to think it’s the latter. I’m not sure when I stopped asking for things, either. When I started to fear becoming a bitch-wife, even while refusing to admit he means it. Texas is a state built on enduring. Enduring drought, choking heat, bitter cold, sweat in your eyes and dirt that tastes like blood in your mouth. An endless rocky, barren, bitter landscape that refuses to change, and people that refuse to accept it won't ever change. I am a true Texan. There are two more sentences, but they do not fit in the alt text limit.
