Desperate for a second chance, he will do anything to set his future back on track. Now, with the help of a soul-collecting reaper named Sonny, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell, in order to earn back the life that was stolen from him and prevent the oncoming end of days. Faced with the choice between what is right and what is easy, Bill may have to sacrifice all he holds dear for one last shot at life.

Phoebe and the Space Dragon, 92k Adult Sci-fi
Pitch: In space, no one can hear you scream...at your ex. There's no room for argument when a pregnant, endangered creature demands you help her reach her nursery world---even if you're forced to fly with your ed. For anxious marine biologist Remy, the only thing scarier than space would be falling back in love with the man who shattered her heart.
Tropes and comps: forced proximity, second chance love, co-parenting, middle-aged MC and LI, painful secrets.
Looking down on Earth from space was allegedly a life changing event, but Remy was busy gripping her armrest and praying for delivery from a sudden, violent death. Why bother looking towards home? Any second now, she’d be plummeting back. Maybe orbiting trash would crash into them. Or the shuttle could lose power and drift into the void until they all died of hypoxia. All. That was the worst part: if she died, her only child died, too. Not that the daughter in question seemed to appreciate the gravity of the situation. Phoebe was all wide eyes and smiles as the budget shuttle rocketed them towards their almost certain demise. "Dad?" He glanced around at the silver-collared crew, all carefully not paying attention to the interaction, as usual—except for Solkar, who winked. "Captain Bellamy when we’re on the bridge, Phoebe,” he whispered. She scowled at him. "It's Navigator Walker, then." The corner of his mouth quirked like she’d said something funny instead of grown-up and serious. "You're right, we need to keep this as professional as possible, Navigator Walker." "Or we could act like we’re still a family," she muttered, half-hoping her voice didn’t carry across the Hasma’s pool. “At least one of us still wishes we were.” He looked a little hurt. It didn’t make her feel any better, but she didn’t apologize. If she was hurting, so could he. And it wasn’t like he ever apologized. "I am your family, Navigator Walker. A bit of time and distance doesn’t change that."

Peace between alien races could shatter unless a neurodivergent, space-phobic marine biologist, the sexy, secretive ex she’s “over”, and their tween daughter can guide a pregnant space dragon to her nursery world before she loses her clutch.

A cover page with a polar bear in the background. The text reads: An Agent's Guide to Bearskin, A Fairytale Retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon
The Pitch: There’s a troll in Freya Perin’s attic that only she can see, and it’s ruining her flawless reputation. Arranged to wed Kolsevic’s most eligible bachelor, Freya is determined to keep her visions a secret and leave her family’s scandalous legacy of madness behind. But when dark magic freezes her sister’s heart, only Freya knows the truth: a mythical creature called the Frost King is waking. Her only hope for a cure lies deep in the northern mountains, a place steeped in the very magic she’s spent her life hiding from. The journey is treacherous, and desperation forces her to form a pact with Soren, a notorious thief with secrets of his own. Freya and Soren must race to rescue her sister and stop the Frost King from unleashing an eternal winter . . . whilst resisting an attraction that threatens to destroy everything.
Comps, Themes & Tropes image. Includes the following comps: Where the Dark Stands Still, The Thirteenth Child, Spinning Silver, and My Lady Jane. Includes the following themes: Dark fairytale retelling, Wicked betrayals, Forced proximity, Yearning, Wintery Ambience, Magical plague, Morally grey FMC, Generational curses
The Opening: Freya Perin pretended not to notice the troll lurking in the corner of the parlor. No one else saw the creature, of course, but its beady eyes bored into her skull all the same. It snapped its gnarled fingers once. Twice. It hissed. “Look at me.” Beneath a placid smile, Freya gritted her teeth and focused her attention on her future husband’s well-oiled moustache. After their wedding, that would be the first thing to go.
It's #QuestPit, so here's an agent's guide to my dark retelling, BEARSKIN 🕯️✨ A tale of winter magic, tragic romance, and embracing the monsters within.

Moodboard for Rooted in Stone, sapphic gargoyle urban fantasy. Tagline”Somewhere away from this world, indistinct, infinite, and unknowable… What was beyond that veil?” 10 very dark, moody, grayish images around the edge include the hazy spires of Notre Dame with birds lying across, the Milky Way, a crow coming in the land, a gargoyle peeking over a ledge, a shadow crouching in a corner with piercing eyes, a young woman with black hair over her eye, a crow in front of a grave, a graveyard statue of an angel, and the interior of a church with a stained glass window. In the center of all this, is a bright painting of a natual landscape done in vivid sunset colors.
The only place depressed goth-girl, Helena, feels at home on the cheery campus is the dark, haunted chapel. When the stones come alive to warn her of a demon invasion, she becomes entangled in a cosmic war.
And falls for a gargoyle.❤️
