A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become. #YouDeservePit #Q #YA #H #T

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie”
YA Romantic Fantasy
119k Words

Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines.
Blurb:

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…
Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Gold…
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.
Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it.
Tropes:
Thief x Assassin
Mental Health Rep
Identity vs Duty
Class Difference
Forced Proximity 
Secret Code
Morally Gray
Women’s Wrongs
Unlikely Allies to Lovers

Text is on a piece of parchment paper. Besides the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment paper are ocean waters with gold flower outlines.
The Atmosphere:
There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand.

Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

I know authors need to have tough skin, but was it really necessary for my characters to leave these one star reviews on goodreads?! #UnhingedPit #YA #F #R #LGBT #W
A fake one star goodreads review from Princess Mira:

You guys know I’m a fan of sapphic besties to lovers, but the constant pining between the two princesses was sooooo frustrating. After the millionth stolen glance and billionth moment of OBVIOUS flirting I wanted to bang my head off the castle walls. And the way they both keep trying to deny it? Like come on! YOU’RE CLEARLY IN LOVE. JUST KISS ALREADY!!!

A fake one-star goodreads review from Princess Dorothea:

Loved the treasure hunt. Loved the thing with the mermaids. Honestly, I didn’t even mind the redhead character being the feisty one. But do you have ANY idea how expensive first class tickets to The Bahamas are right now? I thought it was safe to read this with my gf because, yanno, it’s FANTASY, but the setting is clearly influenced by some beautiful tropical island and now she wants to go. I may be a princess, but I’m not MADE of money, people! Spirit it is (and I’m NOT talking about the ghost pirate).

A fake one-star goodreads review from Captain Amir:

First things first: 100-year-old pirates CAN use goodreads, okay?

The best character is stuck inside the head of a teenage princess almost the whole time. “But what about the life lessons?” NO. What about how annoying it is that the pirate captain’s curse gets broken in the most infuriating how-did-I-miss-this way? Let’s focus on THAT. I bet my first mate that I could solve the stupid riddle before him and I will be seeking damages for the rum I lost.

A fake one-star goodreads review from John:

I liked this story but my best friend Mira told me to give it one star.

#biodiversity #its-actually-really-good #sorry

There are three comments: 

Captain Amir says: Are you kidding me? Did you learn NOTHING from the fisherman's son's character arc?

Princess Mira says: shut up Amir !! love u John <3

Princess Dorothea says: lmao classic

An introduction to my Hawaiian-inspired, young adult fantasy. “Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around the corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.” #PosterPit #PosterPitW #YA #F #OwnVoices
A movie poster that displays the image of a sailboat beneath the reflection of the night sky. This is to showcase my novel “Whispers of the Sea.”

Across the top can be found a list of what to expect in the novel. The list includes: epic adventure, forced proximity, earth magic, and Hawaiian influences. 

At the bottom of the poster is a summary that reads:
“Jasad Heir meets the Starless Sea in this young adult fantasy following a teen girl who embarks on a journey to uncover the whereabouts of her missing uncle. Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around every corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.”
