After surviving an attack from a vampire hunter, Lia stays the night at her sire Roman's house, where she reflects on the night of her turning—or, at least, what she can remember of it. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

From my chair, I watch the Uber drive away. The rumble of its engine fades into nothing, leaving total stillness in its wake. I sit motionless for a long moment, phone in hand, my thoughts roaming the last ten years. My first memories of this house are filled with agony, exhaustion, and not much else. Occasionally, I recall a freezing wetness covering my whole body. Clean, fresh soap and noxious bleach. Shivering, naked. Strong arms wrapping me in something soft and dry. The taste of Roman’s blood on my tongue, heady with magic. Every drink pushed back the torture wracking my limbs, my insides, my soul.

Weeks passed. The pain became a dull ache—the now-familiar hunger, my constant companion. I recovered my strength. The house stopped feeling like a prison. Roman found me an apartment far from my old haunts, so no one would recognize me. Weeks turned into months, and months into years. And still this old house has remained the same, just like its master. Just like me.

Picking up my bag from the floor where I’d left it, I return to the basement. All that remains of the woman’s presence is the abandoned wine. Roman’s bedroom door is wide open, an invitation for me. Wandering inside, I find him lounging on his bed, stripped down to only his underwear, his nose buried in a book. I peek at the cover. Tender Is the Flesh.

On a grassy green hill, a bright green praying mantis, a black and orange firefly, and a small green caterpillar examine the mantis’s very tall pile of story notes. The firefly is measuring the stack of paper with a tape measure while the caterpillar looks concerned. The stack of pages is waist-high to the mantis. A Campy RevPit flag flies from the top of a nearby flagpole. There is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The text above them reads, Day 11 ScavngrHunt

An agent’s guide to my newest project—To Save a Wilting Rose (WIP)!!! Adult paranormal romance at 91,000 words. #questpit #w #pr #a

The text says, “Agent guide for to save a wilting rose, adult paranormal romance, 91,000 words WIP.”

The text says, “ The pitch. A PHD student who’s returned home to her family’s resort island for the summer expects to spend time with her ill sister, but when a group of vampires from a medical research organization checks in, it’s not just the heir that changes her plans. It’s the life-changing cure they discovered together.”

The text says, “The Comps. Finding joy in an immortal life and serious topics with lighter tones like in Aubrey Wants to Die by Pip Knight. Simmering chemistry and the medical urgency like in Ali Hazelwood’s Mate.”

The text says, “The characters. Lettie Nightingale is a 24 year-old in grad school, has a twin brother, hates to be sweaty, grew up at the Eldham Island Resort, has dedicated her life to saving her younger sister. August Olsen is a vampire, and only child, loves to run, especially on the beach, expected to replace his father as president of The Vital Approach Foundation, and his favorite book is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab.”

My first #questpit pitch! I’m so excited to participate! DISSEVERER is SILVER ELITE meets ONE DARK WINDOW #Q #A #D #DR #F In the Outlands, Death can be a mercy…until It wants a favor.

A collage of pictures including: shadow hands reaching for each other, red thread, and artwork by Eugene Cuvelier and Avert Van der Neer. Artwork is public domain offered by the MET. Titles of the pieces are “The Farrier” and “Fontainebleau Forest”. The title of the querying work is DISSEVERER and this is an agent guide.

The following picture is of a girl holding a red thread. On top of that picture is the covers of three books: SILVER ELITE by Dani Francis, ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig and THE FOXGLOVE KING by Hannah Whitten. The pitch is for the novel DISSEVERER is also typed out: a virus-scarred blacksmith with the cursed power to see through the veil that separates the living from the dead, barters with a Death God for her soul’s freedom, but the price is steep: Death wants admittance into the land of the living, and shes’s the only one who can sever the veil.

The following is a picture of hands reaching for each other. On top of that is screenshots of positive reviews from readers, beta readers and critique partners. One is from an email, another from a text message, the other review given through a string of DMs.

This picture is of a hand and the pointer finger is reaching for dark smoke. Over it is a snippet from my dystopian dark fantasy, where the MC meets a death harvester for the first time.

Excerpt “Who are you?” she asks. “My name is Melody, I’m Lyra’s younger sister,” I say. “You two are identical.” I wish I could ask Lyra if she’s okay with Annie knowing everything. Better yet, I wish I could make her explain it. Her girlfriend, her problem. But I’m here alone, Annie is the one who saw Lyra last, and I want any information she can give me. It’s not like I could pretend I’m Lyra and ask why she ran out last night. I kind of need to tell her. I’ve never had to explain us. I don’t know where to start. It’ll be easier since she can already sense Lyra and I are different people. Somehow. But it’s still going to sound insane to a normal person. “I’m six years younger than Lyra. She died when we were kids, and I… I don’t know what I did but I saved her soul. I kept it.” I press my hand against my chest, careful to avoid the burn. “We’ve shared this body—my body—for over twenty years.”
