The title slide of my humorous version of my Agent's Guide to my adult fantasy mystery novel A Wayward Balance.

Slide 2 of my humorous Agents Guide: The dreaded, yet required, One Paragraph pitch Fiona and Dahlia work tirelessly each day to ensure the balance of eight worlds remains intact. Every rule must be followed, every life and every death scheduled and accounted for, every Chosen One meticulously hand selected to save any world on the verge of collapse from a wayward balance—a breaking—when the scales have tipped too far for too long. When the current Chosen One is found murdered on Dahlia’s doorstep, the two friends must work together to prove Dahlia’s innocence before her life is forfeit to offset the balance that has tipped beyond what anyone has seen before, leaving the futures of all eight worlds in jeopardy. To save the worlds, rules must be broken, time will be upended, secrets will demand to be revealed, and friendships must be sacrificed.

Slide 3 of my humorous Agent's Guide: An Entirely Inconvenient Number of comps The whimsical bureaucracy of The House in the Cerulean Sea Unique townsfolk like Halloween Town Cozy small town vibes like Murder She Wrote For fans of cozy fantasies & coffee shops like Legends and Lattes, but with the higher stakes of murder. Metaphysical Fun like: Good Omens and The Good Place Humor of: The Eyre Affair and Mort

Slide 4 of my humorous Agent's Guide: A socially acceptable boost to my ego features quotes from people who have read A Wayward Balance such as "When I tell you this story has me HOOKED" and "So fricken fun"

My somewhat different take on an #agentsguide

A Fate tasked with scheduling the lives and deaths of mortals must track down a killer when the unscheduled body of a Chosen One lands on the doorstep of her best friend, Death.

Blurb, mood boards, and a sneak peek of chapter 1 in the 🧵 #amquerying #writingcommunity #YA #SFF

Mood board for Clara including images of Yule celebrations, winter, a ball, two snowy scenes and a fancy holiday dinner setting. The quote in the middle says "One last look at you," Gwyll's ghost insisted, turning Clara back to the mirror. "She will be watching you tonight, ma'am. She couldn't be prouder."

CLARA | A witchy retelling of The Nutcracker.

After someone is found dead at the annual Yule Ball, Clara, a young adult witch, must recover the dark gift stolen from her before more harm can be done to their magical kingdom.

High Knight Elspeth and Princess Ravenna stare longingly into each other’s eyes. Elspeth is a white human woman with mousy brown hair, light brown eyes, freckles, and a muscular frame. She wears the armor of a knight. Ravenna is a brown-skinned elf with curly dark hair with red streaks, dark brown eyes, thick curves. She wears a scarlet and gold gown with an ethereal cape. Both Elspeth and Ravenna wear matching garnet and gold rings on their middle fingers. Ravenna also wears an engagement ring. They are the main characters from the upcoming fantasy romance novel “Loving Her Princess” by Cassia King.

The moodboard for Cassia King's adult cozy/spicy fantasy romance novel "Loving Her Princess" is a 3 by 3 square. It includes a white lady elf, a knight in armor, an autumnal forest, the title in white on a red background, an ethereal crown, golden sparks in the dark, an engagement ring, a quill and ink, and two young women kissing.

LEGENDS & LATTES x FIANCÉE FARCE

Knight Elspeth and Princess Ravenna fake an engagement to stall an arranged marriage & quit the knighthood. But a surprising counteroffer forces them to choose: their grand plans or each other.

Their fave Yule drink: Mulled wine!
