Poster with image of woman surrounded by smoke. Words at top: magic & monsters, snarky banter, sapphic romance, female friendship. Middle: Riding in Cars with Monsters. Adult contemporary fantasy by Michelle Ogilvy. Bottom: One rule: Don’t open the trunk.

The job had 1 rule: don’t open the car’s trunk.

Should have been a 2nd rule: don’t give your friend a lift or she will absolutely break the one rule.

Now, an interdimensional smoke monster is free and hungry for souls.

Who has our disaster bi been working for?

So overwhelmed (positive) with all the support I got through 1stLinePit. What a wonderful community! I can't wait to go through all the likes and posts. I'm already seeing so much talent~

Finished it last night! It was so good and wonderfully immersive and such a fun, cosy read. Thank you! 🧡

Page 1 - An Agent's Guide to Careless Whispers, Romantic Suspense, and piece of dialogue: '...our very own Greek tragedy,' says Troy. 'It has it all. Sex, money, adultery. Even - if you believe the rumours - murder.' Photo alongside it is a of a woman's pressing finger to her lips signifying secrecy.

Page 2 - The Pitch with a blurred photo of a drowned woman alongside it. She's always tried to do the 'right thing', but when a death becomes a suspected murder, a PR exec must decide how far she'll go to protect the people she loves. They all have a motive. Especially the dead woman's husband, the man she's in love with.

Page 3 - Photo of a man alongside a snippet. SNIPPET - An unpleasant smile warps his face. He steps closer and leans forward as if they're conspirators. His voice is low and soft, the words a sneer. 'I'm guessing you've not been fighting him off.' It's hard to breathe. He's too close, his breath on her skin smoky with whisky and cigarettes. She fights the urge to thrust him away. 'No,' she says in a hard voice. 'But then he's not you.' His head snaps back. The dull flush in his cheeks is evident even in the gloom. 'And you,' he says nastily, 'are not Rianna.' She gives a humourless laugh. 'From what I gather, that's not a bad thing.' 'He better not hear you say that. He loved her, you know.'

Page 4 has Tropes & Themes - du Maurier's Rebecca vibes; Found family; Loss; Slow burn romance; Obsession; Unrequited love; Secrets; Betrayal; Murder And The Comps – Nanny Wanted by Lizzy Barber, End of Story by AJ Finn, The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and the Sky Atlantic series Riviera

When she hears the footsteps behind her, she doesn't rise from the lounger or turn her head. Just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine.
'I told you to leave,' she slurs. 'There's nothing more to say.'
'I've plenty to say.'
Her head whips round then. She smiles.

a moodboard detailing nine images related to my book ALL THE DEVILS aka devilswip. in order from right to left they are: london notably the landmark big ben, a band performing on stage, a sheet of music, a record store, the silhouette of a rockstar, some musical instruments scattered on a bed, two men running, a pile of evidence and finally a hand holding a cigarette

the first pages of ALL THE DEVILS: prelude 21st august 2016 it begins with a murmur drifting upon the wind. at first, it’s small—unnoticeable, but soon that murmur, that slick sliver of sound that could one day change the world reaches humankind and becomes a hurricane—an untamed clamour among the silence. it ripples. it taunts. It waltzes upon the breeze like the destructive force it is and, in the end, is unstoppable. It cannot be contained. It’s there forever, a permanent echo in a vacuum, a scratch on a record, a soundbite of time. today, the murmur begins its devastating dance outside a block of flats overlooking the river thames. a white flurry of forlorn forensics leave the building with disbelief carved onto their weary faces. an unsettling stillness suffuses the space as the murmur passes from person to person. it’s him, rumbles the murmur. it’s sam corvi. he’s dead.

Several photos are shown in this Moodboard for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance written by Dawn Berkoski. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river.

Moodboard of eight images. Top left: A figure plays a violin in a dark room. The image is shot in such a way that only the violin and one of the player's hands is visible. Center left: A man stands in darkness; his head is on fire. Bottom left: A wireframe of a dragon against a bright orange background Top/mid center: Alphonse Mucha's Emerald, featuring a woman staring intensely at the viewer as she leans against the head of a snarling serpent. A white line is drawn straight through the image to neatly divide the woman's head from the serpent's. Bottom center: The Lovers, from the Art Nouveau Tarot deck, featuring a couple just about to kiss. The card is lying on a white space, surrounded by red/white roses. Top right: A figure in white robes wanders through a very green forest. Center right: A bolt of lightning arcs above a mountain range in a very violet sky. Bottom right: A black hole swirls in a sea of violet stars and nebulae.

When magicless Mick agrees to go adventuring with his mage best friend (and crush) Eleanor, the last thing he expects is to be stuck a dragon and bound to the gods' dead adversary. Now he and Eleanor must restore Mick's humanity, before his existence triggers a war.
