A forbidden place beyond the primordial forest. Something sleeps there, dreaming, waiting. The King trespasses, removing a sacred relic and unleashing an impossible evil on the lands. Tragedy, madness and nightmares spread. Can the Fall of Marzena be stopped? #MupPit #A #DF

House of the Chosen is a dark urban fantasy with strong psychological/horror elements. The magic isn’t whimsical. Survival isn’t guaranteed. And not everyone can be trusted. #MupPit #WIP #Psy #A #DF #T #WritingCommunity

If anyone is questioning why a cute pup is in a horror pit, try getting on his bad side😘 FYI, yes, Mr Puki is part of the book! #MupPit

Fall of Marzena: A dark fantasy, Lovecraftian horror. This is the first entry in trilogy of books telling the story of Sanja Marzena. Themes of family trauma and abuse. Heavily influenced by Lovecraft and Hidetaka Miyazaki's work (Elden Ring, Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, etc...)

I’m seeking representation for my 82,000-word neo-noir mystery novel, BLACK LINEN AND BISCUITS. As General Manager of Ristorante Vito Allegro, Scotland Keyes is a master in his element, unflappable in the face of disgruntled diners and fussy staff alike. But when his beloved niece and star server, Shae Corbin, is found dead, Scotland’s world unravels.

Every other character actor at EverAfter Theme Park has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and desperate princess performer Juliet discovers why when the character she plays begins to take over her mind. Psychological horror + Disneyland gone wrong #MupPit #WIP #H #A

Jethro escapes a magical circus that only appears to children who want to die. Outside the Big Top, his body rots, restored only by easing others' pain. But when small mercies quit working, he discovers a darker truth: pain stops if you're not breathing #MupPit #AG #YA #Spec

Eralen is not the villain you think he is 🩸 He stands in the shadows, smiling and patient. Calculating. Hauntingly beautiful. He wears his loneliness like a heavy crown and wants what he believes is his. Nyx, Echo, and River. Loyal. Deadly and devoted to his will. #AmQuerying
