Thank you ☺️

My beta readers, @metzgerkatyauthor.bsky.social (you get a second mention!), @sampeil.bsky.social, @cclim.bsky.social and @maryofflowers.bsky.social, and everyone who has helped me with the pages or the query letter, thank you for all your wise words!

Crime Queriers group, you know who you are! I couldn’t have gone through the query trenches this second time without your support. Thank you for letting me vent and for all the words of encouragement. Now we wait to see who’s next! 👀

@metzgerkatyauthor.bsky.social, thank you for believing in me even when I couldn’t believe in myself and for still loving the book that didn’t get me an agent!

My biggest thank you goes to my @writehive.bsky.social mentor @ajvanbelle.bsky.social. I will be forever grateful for your help in making the first pages of this book shine!

Adding my thank-yous here a little late 🫣, but here we go:

Aesthetic mood board with asymmetric/diagonal grid of six images. Upper left corner: a field of dandelion fluff in an orange glow of light. Upper middle: An eerie image of a tombstone, taken over by nature. Upper right corner: A girl with brown eyes and long brown hair, sitting on the passenger seat of a car with the door open, looking straight at the camera. Lower left corner: A ghost in a white flowy dress standing inside a house, behind a wooden rail of the steps leading upstairs. Lower middle: A gloomy image of a car driving off into the distance, with the road bordered by forest on both sides and fog making the scene blurry. Lower right corner: A dimly lit room with old flowery wallpaper and thin lace curtains. A candelabra with four red candles burning on a dark wooden chest of drawers.

✨I’m thrilled to announce I’m now represented by @bethanyfulk.bsky.social at Spencerhill Associates! ✨
I feel so lucky I’ve found the perfect champion for my book and can’t wait to see where this journey will take us!

Happy release day, Christy!! 🐙

Ooh, this sounds really good 👀

Caught in a maelstrom of morals, a ship captain must decide what she desires most—to resurrect her sister, or kill the boy she’s grown to care for and let her wicked heart feel again.

(This project will be ready for querying next week!)

Bloodied white coat on the torso of a man, the dentist. White text says: THE DENTIST Sami Peil @sampeil The Pitch Stetson was built for survival. After two decades of blending in with the straight boys and enduring his father's relentless prepper training, he's better prepared than most when the ENVI-24 pandemic becomes the zombie apocalypse in a matter of months. Stetson saves the only other survivor at his parents bunker settlement-a tween girl with a mouth full of braces, a judgy attitude, and a Bible. In a desperate search for community to help raise Harper, he makes his way to Queen City, killing zombies and dodging a zealous preacher bent on collecting women and children for his compound. Meanwhile, the dentist ambles across Queen City with a group of zombies eager for fresh flesh. While raiding his dentist's abandoned office for supplies, Stetson encounters Dove. She looks so good that she might just be a trap set by the Preacher, so Stotson zip-ties her first and asks questions later. All that might even be fine with Dove if it weren't for the fact that she's got Vivvi, her OG apocalypse protector back at their functioning community. If Stetson wants to join them and have help raising Harper, he'll have to prove his zombie-killing worth and move past that whole handcuffing thing. Oh, and also avoid getting exterminated as a threat to the Preacher's regime and the dentist's growing horde.

My agent’s guide to THE DENTIST in which three bi disasters navigate the zombie apocalypse.

Finally entering my ~vague~ era 👀✨

Another full request today 🎉 I've never had this many open at the same time, so I'm feeling guardedly optimistic.

I use mostly the Following and Popular with friends feeds, and I've turned off the reposts because even the Following feed was full of stuff I'm not interested in. Now the feed is much better, but it's pretty quiet and engagement to my posts is nonexistent 😕

I haven't been here a lot lately because I've mostly been doom scrolling the news. But I got 🎉 three requests 🎉 in the past ten days, so that's worth celebrating! Feels surreal, honestly 🥹

For smaller details I need to add, I leave a comment on the mss. For bigger issues, I keep a list in a separate doc.

🎉 Congratulations, Michelle!! 🎉 I completely missed your vague period!

At some point I think we all ask ourselves, “Is QueryTracker Pro helping or shredding the last bit of my sanity?” #amquerying

ANNABEL LEE x GOTHIC BRIDGERTON.

Annabel Lee & Lenore Evermore must uncover the truth behind their family’s curse when their castle’s ghosts are brought back to life during their weeklong ball—or risk joining them in their tomb by the sea. #questpit #ya #f #ag

I love this moodboard!

When a Halloween ghost hunt awakens a haunting family legacy, 12 y/o Casey must figure out who he is beyond his recent grief, and who he refuses to become. Especially since his sister’s soul, and reality itself, depends on it. #questpit #MG #H #OS
