#UnhingedPit πŸ˜œβ„’οΈ was an absolute blast πŸ‘
Your awesome pitches had me in stitches all day 🀩

And thank you for all the love you showed my mockups. Some of you mentioned you'd have liked a thriller option...
So here's a little bonus for you!

Black and white portrait of Franz Kafka turned sideways with a jarringly green speech bubble with a "graphic design is my passion" horizontal black gradient, making it look like it pops out of the screen. The words on the bubble are "Read Just As Real or I'll turn you into a bug!" His intense stare makes you not doubt that he has that power.

SIDEWAYS ARITHMETIC FROM WAYSIDE SCHOOL x FRANZ KAFKA

If you just read one book about a girl trapped in a world where people watch movies about lint, it should be this one.

Who knew a slightly disguised trauma dump could be so funny?

Swerving car meme. "Normal first-person POV" on left, "Semi second-person POV, present tense, and he also has a bad British accent for some reason" on right. Titanic Voyage by Julie Bihn swerves towards right.

The Titanic movie, except Jack is an adopted time traveler with Middle Eastern heritage and Rose is a heroic hologram. And there's no spice or nudity. Actually, instead of drawing her naked, Jack gives the hologram a pretty dress.

Now querying THE REFINEMENT: MERCURY!
Best described as:

Pride & Prejudice x Jacob's Ladder x Return to Oz
but with cults
and bees
and autistic Darcy-coded hot guys
and scene-stealing morally gray antagonists
and ball pits
and bubbles.

Whatsapp convo about the moodboard I made for my novel THE BROKEN KNIGHT. moodboard itself is inserted on the right, consists of 8 classic/public domain artworks.

My fiance had the following to say:

Should I guess what all the moods are?
Clockwise from top left...
Pretty 
Bold
Catholic 
Bored
Pagan 
At fucking last (probably referring to the fact that the romantic leads in this book take so long to get together)
Photoshoots suck
Aslan was here

I'd say it's "touch him and die", but the bar is so much lower than that. It's "pretend he's the most special boy in the whole world or die".

Yes, this is an upmarket romance.
No, nobody is ok, but they will be.
Yes, there is yearning.
Yes, there is art and music.
Yes, that is baklava.
Yes, the baklava makes him cry.

Snowy village in the background with Christmas lights on the houses and sparkles (indicating magical elements). In front of the village background is a white rectangle. Standing off to one side on the white rectangle is a graphic of a guy and girl dressed in formal attire dancing with a lamppost behind them. The lamppost is wrapped with a red ribbon and a bow. Text in the image reads: You never know who you might run into on an icy sidewalk... ...a newcomer...  ...enemy... ...or...?  SUGAR & FROST YA Fantasy by Bethany Averie

So what if Kallie doesn't know how to walk on icy sidewalks? So what if she literally collided with someone? Too bad it's the coldest, most aloof guy (after his dad, that is) in North Pole Village. #UnhingedPit #YA #F #R #Q

Gold background with an evergreen garland at the top of the image. Christmas ornaments are on the garland. On the left side of the image is a silhouette of a woman with gold sparkles over her, and on the far right is a silhouette of a man with snowflakes over him. In the center of the image are the words: an edict, an icy sidewalk collision, matchmaking relatives, a secret, a feud, and a delusional rival, who knew getting ready for your 19th birthday could be so complicated?

Definitely. I used to go to the Alzheimer's courses to learn more about the stages. It is an awful disease.

I am so sorry to hear that. Actually, my MIL is in a home with the disease right now. It is so prevalent these days. It is great your husband could be there for her in that way.

Thank you, Bethany. I am sorry to hear that. My father passed away with Alzheimer's, so that was the motivation behind writing this work. It really helped process the lingering grief.

WHERE ECHOES WAIT #UnhingedPit #A #H

AITA for keeping my wife in our dream home when she keeps saying the house is "replacing her" and "the well has children in it"?

UPDATE: The village says IATA but they ALSO say she should stay???

A gothic horror. Everyone's the asshole. Especially the house.

WHERE ECHOES WAIT #UnhingedPit #A #H

🎡 To the tune of you-know-what 🎡

Oops, I screamed again
Down into the well
That echo wasn't mine
But it knows me well

Am I going crazy
Or is the house aware
It's not that innocent

Not a romance. But the house always gets the girl.

Epistolary gothic horror.

I fell in a dark hole in the ice and ended up in 1963. I thought I was drowning, but then my granddad saved me, but he is only fourteen! How weird is that? #UnhingedPit #Q #MG #CON #H #ADV #F #Canadian

A woman restoring a remote Cornish manor slowly loses her sense of where her mind ends and the house begins.

The village knows the pattern. They just won't say it out loud.
