Oh, I have a grounded contemporary fantasy with sirens who will become sea monsters if they don’t steal the last breaths of drowning men… but I never heard back from another PS Lit agent from February!
Exactly. To all of that.
An author on Threads made a post about a dg death in her book coming out in two weeks. She is entitled to her own opinion, but she said it in a way that insulted probably more than half the population.
Here’s my stance on the book dog debacle:

Thanks very much!
This is a teaser image for my adult fantasy novel. It reads, "Blood Bastards: an adult crime fantasy novel by J.V. Seabourn."
This image includes the pitch for my adult fantasy crime novel, Blood Bastards. The pitch reads: Seth and Crispin Scurlock were raised as blood bastards—orphans taken in for their magical potential by one of the city's most notorious blood-magic crime bosses. Four years ago, after a job gone wrong, Crispin sided with their father and Seth left the family business; neither brother has ever forgiven the other. But then their father is murdered. What's more, he was hit with a bloodline curse before his death—and since Seth and Crispin took a blood oath to guarantee their family loyalty when they were young, they're just as vulnerable to the curse as their father's biological children. Now the estranged siblings will have three days to sort through their father's many enemies, find his murderer, and break the bloodline spell before it kills them too. Assuming they don't kill each other first, of course.

Background: Amethyst Geode Title Card Text: An Agent's Guide To: The Daughter and the Nameless Son by Kelton Davis | Adult Fantasy | WIP | Estimated at 109K words
Background: Amethyst Geode | Six images surrounding a quote: A red forest, a sunset, hammer striking hot metal, red arrow fletching, an old, grizzle man, and a red-haired woman archer. Text: "You might be too broken to help me yourself," she said, all pretense of courtesy gone, "but if you're a shadow of the man he said you were, you ought to still know something at least. "Have you ever heard of an assassin who could change their shape?"
Background: Amethyst Geode Title: Comps Images: Covers of GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, THE JUSTICE OF KINGS by Richard Swan, and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by Andrew Stewart. Arrows connect similarities between comps. Text: From GODKILLER: Cross-Country Quest to Forbidden Land, Surrogate Parenthood (shared with THE JUSTICE OF KINGS) From BONE SHARD DAUGHTER: Disgraced Heir, Strong FMC (shared with both others)
Background: Amethyst Geode Title: Pitch Text: For Niozene, eldest daughter and crown heir to the Mother, the living goddess that rules her country, perfection is not a goal to strive toward; it is the base expectation. And despite her every effort to the contrary, Niozene is not perfect. Her flawless scholar’s education and polished career as a ranger have failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest mistake: she was born without the holy power that marks her family as divinity and grants them their divine right to rule. When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she officially runs out of time to impress. She is stripped of her titles and given a choice: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication—banishment from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as her last chance to show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter. Allowed only the help of another excommunicated criminal, a surly, aged tracker named Sonsan, and facing an assassin who could be anyone, she dreads her chance is over before it starts. But when Sonsan reveals the same shape-changing power as the assassin, she realizes there is more to her quest than she has been told. As they chase the assassin deep into a forbidden land, they must confront the buried history they discover they share, as well as the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, if they are to return alive.
BONE SHARD DAUGHTER x GODKILLER
When an assassin nearly kills her mother, ruler of her people and living goddess, Niozene must chase redemption into a forbidden land to win back the throne...and her mother's love.
