I write contemporary fantasy inspired by roads-less-traveled folklore. There’s magic in all of us, as long as we're brave enough to go looking for it.

Pumped to pitch ETERNALLY DEAD - my 107k paranormal romantic fantasy that explores what happens when an injured musician gets a second shot at stardom by joining an all-vampire rock band in the dangerous Vampire Realm 🧛‍♂️ 🩸🎸 #questpit #a #f #pr #rf #q #amquerying

Background of concert audience with giant vampire fangs floating above alongside the words "An agent's guide to: Eternally Dead, Adult Paranormal Romantic Fantasy, 107k words, by @katgoestoshows." A one sentence pitch is featured on bottom that reads: An injured musician gets a second shot at stardom -- only its by joining an all-vampire rock band in the blood-thirsty vampire realm. A red splatter of blood is splashed is corner.

Red and black background with red text at the top that reads "the blurb." The text below reads: Celia Sharpe's life-long dream of being a rockstar guitarist ended the day an accident wrecked her hand. Now a New York City concert photographer, she strictly focuses on making deadlines. But when Celia spots a mysterious stranger at a concert she can’t capture on camera, she abandons her job to follow him down an alley—only to be accidentally transported to the Vampire Realm.

Stranded and vulnerable in a world of dangerous monsters, Celia has one goal: return home ASAP. But the stranger she followed reveals that he's the bassist of all-vampire rock band Mortuus Aeternum (Eternally Dead), and he offers her a seductive opportunity: if Celia stays, the band's flirty guitarist Caliban will temporarily heal her hand so she can join Mortuus Aeternum. However, she must perform for audiences of blood-thirsty vampires, of course.

Trapped in the Vampire Realm with no way out, Celia is conflicted: she might be willing to sacrifice her freedom for Caliban's healing magic and a second chance at living her rockstar dreams, but she risks death if she doesn't find a way home. Especially when blood shortages are announced across the Vampire Realm. How will she survive?

Red and black background with a bright red title that reads THE COMPS. Below are four book covers and one movie poster that include brief descriptions beside them. The first is Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London and it's described as an urban fantasy in a vampire setting. Next is Bride by Ali Hazelwood, described as having a steamy romance and political intrigue. Next is The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, described as having a human fighting to survive in a vampire world. Next is a movie poster for Almost Famous, described as music journalist + rock band = forced proximity. Last is the cover of Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, described as having a rock band with secrets and love triangles. The tropes and vibes section includes the following text: grounded fantasy, found family, diverse characters, plot twists, chronic illness rep, slow burn yearning, and twist on fated mates.

Red and black background with white text snd large red title that reds THE OPENING. Below the title is the opening of the book, which reads: Celia Sharpe slammed her palm against the closed subway doors, trying to pry open the cool metal with sweaty fingertips. The train had finally – finally – made it to the station, and she needed to get off. Now. When the doors opened at long last, she burst through them like a bat out of hell, charging towards the exit.
She couldn't miss the opening of this show, or it might be her last.

Below the opening is the word EXCERPT in large red letters, and below is text in white font. The following excerpt reads:
Caliban knelt beside her and took her hand, her breath hitching at his touch. A warm sensation transferred between his fingertips and her scar, a tingling feeling moving up her whole arm. She pulled back on instinct.
“What did you do?” she trembled, awestruck. The scar had vanished.
“It’s only temporary. Please play,” he said, his green eyes wanting.
The pain was gone. Gone. As if it had never been there at all. Her left hand curved around the guitar neck, hugging the strings. Overcome by the magic of it, Celia grinned.

#QuestPit After a horrific car accident derails Price’s music career, an encounter with the Goddess of Sleep makes all his dreams come true. Little does he know his ascension into rock god status will pit him against Death himself. WILD REVERENCE X THE VAMPIRE LESTAT #Q#A#H#F

Moon with horoscope overlay in a purple and blue space background. The title LOWLIGHT is in the center of the moon with the subtitle “When the woman of your dreams becomes your worst nightmare” underneath followed by the pitch in the post. Below the pitch is “Adult horror fantasy,” “93,000,” and “Inspired by Sleep Token lore and the Orpheus myth.” Pictures of comparable titles follow and include the mythic redemption arc of Carissa Broadbent’s THE SONGBIRD & THE HEART OF STONE, immortal rockstar vibes of Anne Rice’s THE VAMPIRE LESTAT, and the goddess/mortal romance of Rebecca Ross’s WILD REVERENCE. To the left of these is the title, “What You’ll Find” and lists gothic and surreal atmosphere, plots twists, and dense mythos. A second title, “Themes On” follows and lists Self-love vs. Self-Sacrifice, power dynamics in relationships, and religion and deconstruction. To the far right of the slide is a QR code titled “Let’s Get Social.”

Selling insurance sucks. So does monster social work. At least nothing at Geico has fangs. But Jax is broke, and 1 last job for her secret society doesn't sound too bad... until it turns into a setup for her murder. Just her luck that the killer is trying to fracture the Veil too. #QuestPit #Q #F
