I will say this though: #litAgents who like Jean Grey in this movie, what are you waiting for? You'll love Haley in CRIES OF THE AGON. With the Hunger Games movie coming too? My manuscript is for you 😁 #darkfantasy #mythology #psychic #tragedy #itspowerfulmymanuscriptIPROMISE

I called every single plotpoint in the spider man movie, sometimes, even before the scenes even started. Dialogue too. im not happy. I miss when plots kept me guessing. I miss red herring, true plot twists & misdirects. I miss when movies AND books made me think. Tell me im not alone 😭

I'll get that cold query partial or full request. I will. I'm not being cocky, or overconfident. I'm empowering myself to continue to do better, and give my best and want to assure myself, no, encourage myself, that it will amount to something.

Taliesin Seaton is on the run after a mysterious wedding present leads him to nearly kill his cruel, high-profile husband. It only gets worse when disgraced pirate Blight Calhoun gets involved. The Curse of the Black Pearl X A Bone in His Teeth in: Call of the Storm #QuestPit #W #A #LGBT #RF #DF

A square image of the masts and sails of a large ship. At the top is the title, "Call of the Storm."
In the center is a blurb:
Born with the gift of song, Taliesin Seaton feels a pull to the sea long repressed after being shunned by a well-known secret: he is a bastard reviled by his family for wanting to be a man.
After a mysterious wedding present leads to him nearly killing his cruel husband on their wedding night, he is now on the run with more questions than answers and a massive target on his back.
Disgraced pirate Blight Calhoun was sent to find the very same device in Taliesin's possession, and neither man is willing to give it up.
Once a wager leads Blight to be in Taliesin's debt, they may have less time than they thought to find out what the device is meant for as dredges from the deep, an entire armada, and a tempestuous, unforgiving sea forces them to work together.

Along the edges of the image are tropes and highlights.

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.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia
At the bottom, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out and replaced with Peyton Freys
