Out of bed, Sophie's every scar was visible, each one a reason she wanted to know about the kidnapping. She wrapped a shawl around herself, disappearing into her usual, #guarded mystery. She gave the cryptic smile she always did when she knew I'd do what she wanted. #WIPSnips #booksky #amquerying

Mr. Jams doesn't like animals at all. When his neighbour's daughter leaves her little black kitty with him to babysit, he finds the kitty just as bothersome as the little girl next door that never leaves him alone. He wakes up one morning to find the kitty nowhere to be found. Mr. Jams starts to search frantically for the little black kitty.

Kevin always used his blinker. The voice in his head still had opinions about the murder kit. Adequate, a cozy horror novel, is 86k words and now querying.

A serial killer's voice jumped into a Sacramento librarian, and her psych meds trapped it. Adequate, a cozy horror novel, is 86k words and now querying.

“The cure is in the dose.”

When Madison is involved in the disappearance of a cop, she becomes the apprentice of the witch that runs the Taco Bell. With the opioid crisis raging in rural Ohio, she has to do dark things to keep her friends alive.

The Bell Witch, YA horror. #dvpit #amquerying

This is how we do it! Got a rejection and a request for a full on the same day. 🤯 Grateful for a rejection that was thoughtful and not generic. And so elated and relieved to send a full. #nevergiveup #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity #kidlit

The rest of it? The rest of it — feeling for a while intensely understood, the cozy domesticity, being in love — he needed to tuck it away, somewhere deep and guarded inside, until he had healed up strong enough to face it. To face that he had something, lost it, and was afraid he would never have it again. After all, Mom never fell in love after Dad.

It's a tall order, but excellence in both line writing and storytelling can be done. Hear more on this week's Hook Your Reader episode of the #storynerd podcast. #queryinglitagents #amquerying #querytrenches #queryinglitagents

#DVPit
Between being queer and a mage, Regan-era USA is not a safe time for Carinen to be out. Too bad the nightly news at the protest caught her coven-commune using magic.

From Epic Fantasy WIP, Waking the Saints, a young horsegirl brings news of invasion to the privy council. Quimmick warned Lualih that other clans gathered & asked for a bride of royal blood to seal a treaty. Vetal wants nothing to do with demons.

“How did the Northmen get there so fast? They usually only have a few dozen raiders, mostly on foot,” Baron Vinkel asked. Lualih spared him from a glare as he knew the Northmen’s habits from defending his border barony. “Fort Stronghold Horse Fair. Dozens of trade caravans camped outside the city walls.” “Northmen, mounted. An army of invaders on stolen horses.” Baron Vinkel swept his hand through a ward against evil. “What about the banners? How many, what clans? Cat, Hawk, Wolf…Bear?” Lualih asked. Quimmick frowned at the name of his clan. His mouth flopped open to object before his better sense stopped him. “One Wolf, three Hawk, too many to count of Cat,” Tam said. “If there were banners from Bear, they were on the other side of the city where I couldn’t see them.” “Nor would you,” Quimmick said. “We have kept the treaty! Your Majesty, I warned you the Cat armies threaten us all. Your guard told us when the god-voice spoke, it meant the Cat chief is demon-eaten.” Gimmick waved a hand toward Vetal, who shook his head and backed away from the narrowed eyes of his fellow Blue. “Remember I offered you an alliance!” “The price was too high,” snapped Lualih. Tepaya wasn’t desperate enough to accept the marriage yet. “But I agree the danger is real.” Tauno patted the young girl’s back before striding to the head of the table. “We must assemble an army to drive the invaders out of Huxen.” The servants scrambled to pull out his chair, but he threaded through them to stand behind her. His hands rested on her shoulders, a warm weight that did little to calm her trembling knees hidden beneath her skirts.
