A #FinishedFriday snippet from #CalderwoodNovel to close out this February, which was indeed chaotic as we spent the whole g-d month sick with norovirus and then the flu. Let's go, spring!! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

A mockup movie poster in featuring a mirrored georgian-style house (top and bottom). Tagline says "Don't go in the cellar" and the poster lists the title, Calderwood, as well as the genre (adult gothic) and the word count (79,000). White text on grayscale background.
black text on a beige background. text reads: the pitch: After solving a snake's riddle to see what's on the other side of a forbidden door, a Victorian housemaid finds herself torn between her handsome, bookish but frustrating employer and the elegant, charming mystery man who lives beyond the door in a magical mirror-world where everything may just be too good to be true. Calderwood is for readers 18+ who want spooky, magical elements woven into a mild spice open-door, slow-burn romance in a Victorian setting. It will appeal to readers of Alix Harrow's starling house, v.e. schwab's gallant, and anyone who's ever wanted a coraline premise as a gothic grown-up romance.
black text on a beige background. text reads: the comps: Calderwood has: the setting as character and slow burn romance of starling house; an alluring but increasingly-spooky otherworld a la coraline and gallant; a book-loving heroine who's clever and resourceful like Jane from salt and broom; a monstrous love affair reminiscent of lakesedge; non-book comps: Penny Dreadful; crimson peak; dark shadows (the 1960s-70s original show)

Young woman goes to work for a handsome, reclusive bachelor in an isolated house and finds a hidden door in the forbidden cellar. Behind it? A 100-yr-old secret, a sinister revel, and a beautiful monster who’s out for blood.

When Arlo Reade arrives at Calderwood House in the summer of 1895, she doesn’t expect to be the only maid in residence. You know what else she doesn’t expect? A door in the cellar that won’t stop whispering to her.
