Hope you find some good pitches! 🥰👻

My second pitch for #ghostpit is my MATE x DISCOVERY OF WITCHES standalone (with series potential).

When I was at Book Harvest (in Chicago) — this project had readers super excited!

THE POTION DILEMMA is a standalone fantasy romance where a low-level witch accidentally gives a love potion to a shifter assassin and has to learn how to reverse it.

Today is my first time pitching! If you're seeing me for the first time, HIIII :)

I'm Courtney! I have four self-published romance books with a paranormal holiday novella releasing this December.
