#Questpit Mass effect x Treasure Planet "People of Humanity, we have been observing your Earth..." These are the word that came down from the stars when Humanity stood on the Brink. The words that offered them a Second Chance at life. 6 years later, our story begins. #Q #SF #SFF

In The Service of Gods & Admirals.

A Novel by

James Keller

People of Humanity,

We have been observing your Earth and know you can not survive. The damage done to your world is too great for any species to recover from. You lack the technology to escape but there is no reason why the Galaxy should have to go on without you.

In the name of our Goddess, the Lady of Crystal, I have declared the Uplift of Humanity from your ruined world. And have bestowed onto you a new planet to call your own. Where you can rebuild yourselves and live on under the light of the stars.

We offer you passage to this new world. To welcome you into the Galactic Community as Citizens of the Jada Empire. Under the protection of my court, the Assembly, and the Admiralty of the Royal Navy.

You will be granted all the rights and privileges as any other Citizen in our domain. We will offer all the assistance you require as you heal and grow on your new Colony. To help you find your place in the Galaxy.

The wars that have ravaged your Earth are not our concern. We seek not to pass judgement, but to offer a chance at peace. To survive as a people and as a culture.

To all who accept this offer, our ships will be arriving to evacuate you. Instructions will be broadcast to lead you to the evacuation zones. To all who refuse, you will be left alone without further interference. We mean no harm but we will protect our new citizens from anyone who seeks to prevent them from traveling to their new home.

I know that you do not know of us, of anyone beyond your Earth. but we do come in peace. We come in peace. All we ask is the opportunity for our people to get to know each other.

(Proclamation of Empress Celestia of House Praven, 2nd Born of Emperor Cerian)

Fiona, a Fate tasked with scheduling the lives & deaths of mortals to maintain the balance of light & dark, must track down a killer when the unscheduled body of a Chosen One lands on her best friend's doorstep & the worlds begin to break. #questpit #F #Q #MY

Slide #1 A Wayward Balance, my adult Fantasy Mystery
What You’ll Find Inside:
• Only one...human (she dies).
• Fate and death are desk jobs (death is a family business complete with nepotism).
• Chosen one...by application and interview (it’s a lengthy process).
• Death is framed for murder.
• A romantic slow burn so slow you might not even catch it!(i.e., an utter lack of romance despite the sparks my friend is absolutely determined she felt)
• Karma is a cat...shifter.
• Coffee, Mahjong, and cozy violence.
• Someone who would sacrifice themselves for everyone, and their best friend who is determined to keep that from happening (it’s complicated).

Slide #2 - The dreaded, yet required, One Paragraph pitch Fiona and Dahlia work tirelessly each day to ensure the balance of eight worlds remains intact. Every rule must be followed, every life and every death scheduled and accounted for, every Chosen One meticulously hand selected to save any world on the verge of collapse from a wayward balance—a breaking—when the scales have tipped too far for too long. When the current Chosen One is found murdered on Dahlia’s doorstep, the two friends must work together to prove Dahlia’s innocence before her life is forfeit to offset the balance that has tipped beyond what anyone has seen before, leaving the futures of all eight worlds in jeopardy. To save the worlds, rules must be broken, time will be upended, secrets will demand to be revealed, and friendships must be sacrificed.

Slide #3 - An Entirely Inconvenient Number of comps The whimsical bureaucracy of The House in the Cerulean Sea Unique townsfolk like Halloween Town Cozy small town vibes like Murder She Wrote For fans of cozy fantasies & coffee shops like Legends and Lattes, but with the higher stakes of murder. Metaphysical Fun like: Good Omens and The Good Place Humor of: The Eyre Affair and Mort

Slide 4: A socially acceptable boost to my ego features quotes from people who have read A Wayward Balance such as "When I tell you this story has me HOOKED" and "So fricken fun"

This is a movie poster for Years of Red Tears, which is described at the top as a David Copperfield x timeslip dramas literary fantasy romance featuring a doomed cry for love and two lifetimes of regret. At the center is an illustration of the reincarnated MC, in elegant ancient robes, forlornly gazing and reaching out to a reflection of his past self from modern-day Earth. Falling around the post-rebirth MC are pieces of falling paper and a red ribbon of fate. Surrounding the pre-rebirth MC in the pool of tears are silhouettes of faceless women who look on at the two. Readers say the story has “masterful lyrical prose” and that it breaks their heart. A quote from the MC reads, “I remain a boy who wants to live for myself and die for love.” Now querying!

The photo is a book cover. Two men stand with their backs to each other. One is dark skinned with black wavy hair and purple eyes and is wearing a red fur coat with a blue shirt under it and lots of gold jewelry. The other is pale with dark hair and brown eyes and is wearing a teal outfit. Both have earrings. The one in the teal outfit is holding a rose. The background is a stained glass window with a snake and iris flowers along the border. In the center the title is written "Iris and the Aconite". Followed by "a novel by Maria poppy", "you were my undoing and I am to be yours". The blurb at the bottom reads, "108k, THE IRIS AND THE ACONITE follows Kresimir Zaheriev, a cynical, disagreeable, downright unpleasant courtesan seeking vengeance, and the charming King he’s been sent to kill, as they work together to solve a serial kidnapping case plaguing the capital city."

A movie poster-like picture for a book titled "Entangled". There are four pictures on the top: a woman's face, an illustration of a plant, a castle with a dragon flying over it, and the last one of a woman wearing a lace blouse, zoomed in on the lower half of her face. On the bottom is a picture of two hands, touching. The text in the picture says: "an arboreal mage", "a dragon researcher", "a contest to revive a barren land" and "a sapphic romantasy"

A vertical poster for "MARK OF THE JESTER" features a split-color design: white on the left with black elements and black on the right with white elements. A thin border frame at the top contains the phrase "A DARK FANTASY."
The central image consists of a large, stylized jester’s mask split down the middle to match the background. The mask features one hollow eye hole and a wide, grinning mouth colored deep red. Four mirrored rose silhouettes surround the mask.
The title is rendered in a distressed, hand-drawn font. On the left, a black laurel wreath contains the text, "A most unreliable narrator!" On the right, a white laurel wreath contains the text, "Horror! Madness! Laughs!"
The bottom left includes an "R" rating box with warnings for violence, sexual content, language, and disturbing images. The bottom right lists "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" above a synopsis regarding a jester and a king.
