I guess it depends on the images you're looking for, I haven't had any issues with it. I hope you find what works for you.

I usually use Pinterest. There are non-AI generated and AI generated images on there, and the description will tell you whether it's AI generated or not. I hope this helps.

Hey everyone,
I want to bring up something that I didn’t think to bring up before because it was never an issue, until now.

Exactly! We want to get swept up in all that awesome magic, world building and whimsical romance too. I'm craving it! But it's nice to know I'm not crazy lol.

Natalie is querying🎇 @nataliedieudonne.bsky.social · Jul 18

I'm beginning to wonder, are adults not reading romantasy, paranormal romance or speculative romance? Because I'm noticing most agents seem to only want it for YA or NA. Is it just me? 👀

Five years ago I published my first novel. I've grown so much as a writer since then, but this book is what truly started my journey as a writer.

It's a great summer read, available in Paperback & Ebook.

Several photos are shown on this mood-board for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance by Dawn Berkoski. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river. Photography, except the man, by Dawn Berkoski

Photo of a vibrant sunset over a graveyard as seen from the window of a fast moving vehicle.

It reads:

PITCH: IN A WORLD CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE VAMPIRES, TWO MEN STRUGGLE FOR AUTONOMY. WILL A CHANCE MEETING LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM, OR A WEB OF SUBTERFUGE, WHERE EVERY THREAD BRINGS A MONSTER OFFERING DEATH OR PERMANTENT CONFINEMENT?

Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story.

The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others.

The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel.

Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.

After a devastating injury ends her competitive career, Chloé LaFleur seeks solace and purpose in the world of show skating. She meets Freja Lindholm, who, despite their differences, might be exactly what Chloé needs.

In revisions, querying later this summer.

#BluePit 📖 #R #A #LGBT #WIP #Q

Intro page for agents guide to THE ICE BETWEEN US a sapphic figure skating romance novel

Pitch for THE ICE BETWEEN US

Chloé LaFleur is one of the best women’s figure skaters in the world. Or she was, until a devastating injury ended her competitive career. Adrift without skating (and after being dumped by her girlfriend), Chloé signs on to do the one thing she swore she’d never do: show skating.

Freja Lindholm is the show’s most experienced skater, but show life has grown tiring. She’s ready to hang up her skates when this newcomer arrives. Freja is forced to get the former Olympian up to speed show skating world, giving her new purpose.

When fate throws the two together as roommates, they clash. But before long, the ice between them begins to melt, and it might just be that they’re both exactly who the other one needs.

Comps for THE ICE BETWEEN US

• Unsteady by Peyton Corinne
• Wake Up Nat & Darcy by Kate Cochran
• Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Excerpt from THE ICE BETWEEN US

“And this must be the great Chloé LaFleur you're always raving about. I hear the Golden Girl is joining our cast next season."

"Bronze," Chloé says, tersely.

I shift my body in her direction and turn my gaze downward. She's shorter than I expected, but even I have to admit that she's quite beautiful, even in ill-fitting clothes with no makeup on. I can see why, even beyond her skating, they wanted her for our cast.

"What's that?"

"I won bronze in Beijing, not gold. And I'm proud of it."

The humility is surprising. I expected her to have an ego, but immediately she's deflecting. Still, I'm not buying it.
