Practice on me: Dev continues, saying, “Anyway, he insinuated you need more practice, so I wanted to offer myself as a test dummy.” I blink. “Huh?” He sits on the mattress again and pats his chest. “Practice on me. Just don’t view anything too embarrassing, like me on the toilet.” I snort and shake my head. “For real? You’re okay with my invading your mind?” He shrugs. “Yeah. The sooner you learn to control it, the less it’ll happen by accident.” I pinch my bottom lip. He’s right, and I need to practice, but I never imagined he would offer to help. “I don’t know how to pick specific memories yet, but I’ll do my best to avoid anything awkward.” “Sounds good.” He gestures to the comforter with an open palm. I sit, hunched over, and blow out a shaky breath. I have no idea how to activate my abilities, let alone select a particular memory. This could be a complete failure, but perhaps that would be better than viewing something hurtful or embarrassing. Dev holds out his forearms. “I trust you. Go for it.”
Smuggling Shenanigans: A dimensional rift occupies the floor, like the one at the military outpost, shimmering and oscillating in the dim lighting. I inhale sharply as Braun’s team dumps the crates into the chasm before leaping inside themselves. Heart racing, I peer sidewise at Slyke, who grins. He says, “Try not to scream.” He hooks his elbow around my neck and shoulders, and jumps.
Brothel Shenanigans: “Faine is right. I wasn’t planning to stay,” Dev says. Marius hooks his elbow around Dev’s shoulders, pulling him closer, the gesture seizing my insides. “Then come to my office. Have a drink. Let’s chat while Faine is serviced.” He motions something to the sex workers, directing them. I need to get Dev out of here. Fast. I reach for him, but the blonde woman catches my wrist, kissing my fingers. “Are any of us to your liking?” she asks, pointing to herself and her associates. (REDACTED) I peer at Dev, who returns my gaze. He gives me a weak nod, as if to reassure me he’ll be okay with Marius, their proximity hitching my breath. “Stay!” I blurt out. Marius quirks a brow. “Huh?” “Talk here. Not your office,” I say, my voice shaky.
Transdimensional War: I grab his hand. “Come on! We need to go.” “I can stop them,” Dev says, as if he were realizing it himself. He looks me directly in the eye, and squeezes my fingers, his tone assertive. “I can stop them.” My heartbeat throbs in my eardrums, my chest tingling. He means it, and he’s more than capable, but there are too many variables. He doesn’t understand his (REDACTED) yet, and hasn’t had time to practice; a battleground with live ammunition isn’t the place to learn. I whisper, “Dev, please—” More Karthals spill from the rift, their jets whirling in the sky.

Editor's Guide To MARK OF A MAGPIE Crossover Romantic Fantasy 118k Words Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.
Blurb One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief who has a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture. Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told. Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.
Tropes and Themes - Thief x Assassin - Mental Health Rep - Identity vs Duty - Class Difference - Forced Proximity - Secret Code - Morally Gray - Women's Wrongs - Unlikely Allies to Lovers Comps: Throne of Glass's castle-setting murder mystery and theme of "who you are versus what you have to do" meets the banter-heavy dialogue, strong female protagonist, and nautical setting of Daughter of the Pirate King. Text is on a piece of parchment. Beside the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.
The Atmosphere: There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Picture seven shows a bottle of alcohol. Picture eight has a medieval alleyway. And picture eight shows a ship's crew enjoying a sunset. There is text below the collage that says: ON SUBMISSION NOW! Represented by Amanda Wooden at SBR Media, contact information available on my website! Behind the parchment, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

On the left side of the picture is an ink drawn map of a continent. In white text: Pitch When a half-dead priestess is forced to work with a wandering mage to figure out why mages are dwindling among her people, they develop a reluctant camaraderie. But when he kills a guard, her people’s distrust escalates into a full-scale uprising, leaving the two loners to save the living, the dead, and each other. Though not necessarily in that order.

On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. In white text Chapter One - The End of Darkness No Guide could resist the Call of Return forever. But this time, when Tilaani’s trembling hands closed on the spiked rocks of the Wolf’s Fangs, the agonizing need for the missing part of herself had dulled to an aching throb. The Call would take her eventually. But not today. Today, she was already running late. “Shit!” Tilaani snatched her cloak from the icy stalagmite she had been using as a hanger and staggered to a slim crack in the cliff face. It had been a century since the passage had opened in one of El’Drek’s rages but the frozen stone was still jagged, tugging at her shirt as she sidled through, thin cloak clutched in one hand. Wind whistled through the crevice, peppering her exposed skin with hard snow. It melted, steaming as it touched her. Time within the cavern had always been malleable, misaligned with the world outside. Shinac had always claimed the shifts were random but Tilaani had her doubts. It always seemed to stretch whenever she was in a hurry. She wouldn’t put it past any of the dead—either Blessed or Barred—to extend time merely to inconvenience her. And now, backing up this theory, the sun was high overhead and the few hours she had spent being lectured by the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.

An Editor’s Guide To The Land of Undying Summer by Ivy T. Woods Adult Romantic Fantasy 105,000 words On a background with a map
With a picture of a mountain, forest, and a lake on the left and text on the right: Pitch When a half-dead priestess is forced to work with the wandering mage who nearly killed her, they develop a reluctant camaraderie. But when he kills a guard, her people’s distrust of the newcomer escalates into a full-scale uprising. His presence risks the lives of the only family she has left, leaving her to choose once and for all: is she beholden to the living, the dead, or herself? With roots in animistic religion and a setting inspired by the Canadian sub-arctic, THE LAND OF UNDYING SUMMER is a stand-alone romantic fantasy
