CHAPTER ONE

The rain made it easier to rob his grave.

My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us.

Us.

As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.

SHAMELESSLY WANTING 🐝🖊️📚 BEA DORSEY, a librarian who moonlights as a spicy content creator, has spent years keeping her worlds separate—until a leaked photo, a public exposure and her irritatingly attractive boss threaten to undo everything she’s buried. #questpit #Q #A #WF #R #LF #amquerying

Title card: pink post with the words SHAMELESSLY WANTING, a bee doodle

The comps: the idea of you, seven days in June, fleabag

Bea Dorsey: Getting up wouldn’t make it better, just change the view, so Bea stayed on the floor. Her phone balanced on her chest, still lit with the photo. At least I look hot. Couldn’t have picked a better one myself.

Miles Noor: I crossed a professional line. But in my defense, she waved me over from the other side.

The opening: Three floors below, a bus hissed as commuters lined up with briefcases and lunch totes. Oblivious to the peep show above them. If anyone looked up—Bea bent at the waist and blew a kiss. Lucky them.

What Becomes of
Still Waters
by Frankie Joy
Literary dark fantasy
thirty chapters outlined drafting started

the pitch
A woman from a line of madness finally proves she was never broken-the bog that has haunted her family for generations answers when she feeds it, crowning her in power. But when its hunger takes the woman she loves, she becomes something monstrous, lost to grief and still water.
Meanwhile, her lover's twin brother journeys toward the horror with a worn-out knight-two men deemed expendable by a kingdom at war, finding each other on throad. What waits at the end will demand they all learn the same truth: the only way to survive is to let go.
What Becomes of Still Waters
Frankie Joy

the opening
The ground squished, thick mud slipping between Lilijana's toes. A deceiving patch of moss floated to her left. She pivoted to the right, settling on firm earth. Reeds bowed, bent by a warm gust. It carried the distinct smell of Mrkava's summers: ripening rye, wild strawberries, junipers, and decay. The near-intoxicating sweetness drifted near the far edge of the village, where the pine grew small and twisted.
The bog lay there, only moss and water-so her mother often reminded. But it kept what it consumed. Generations ago her family's home was settled there, back when the bog was nothing more than a puddle. Now those weathered boards were buried deep in its soil. Her great aunt, too: wandered out on a waxing moon and never returned. She wasn't the only one in the matrilineal line to give to the bog. The first was a stillborn daughter.

Blurb

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…

Ryn is a small-town thief who has 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 be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them.

Five for Silver, Six for Gold…

Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture.

Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told.

Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.

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. Picture seven shows a bottle of alcohol.

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.
