GOING BACK TO WHEN WE BEGAN will be one of a 3-book series following three generations of women who search for the meaning of life in a world dominated by an evil extraterrestrial species masquerading as human beings. #books #amquerying #author #pitch #litagents #extraterrestrial #ufo
I know when you’re awake, two girls kissing, tree with creepy ornaments, bloody candy canes, naughty list, chanesaw, presents destroyed by tree.
#Litagents who liked my pinned book my second is also a YA thriller about girls who make the naughty list and receive gifts each day of December that turn their biggest mistakes into punishments. They must discover who is sending the gifts or one of the won’t survive Christmas.
Send me #litagents looking for an emotional horrorcoaster 🎢 👻

Red clock, red rose, til death, red graveyard, red shed on fire.
#Litagents I’m currently working on a YA book about a girl who dies and wakes up in a redemption competition. To win a second chance at life, she must fix the worst mistakes she made during the month before her death —before one of the friends who died with her wins first.
happy #InternationalWomensDay to one of my favorite moments in SUCH A FICKLE FATE

Standing in the snow is an image of a guy and a girl in formal attire dancing.

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.
