GUYS!! Another imprint sent this for my unwritten 4-book series set in the same world as my sub-book. Getting kinda desperate — I mean, I could've made this myself. Nice dragon though 🤩
#Editors — is this strat common? 😅

Book cover with a misty forest and a shadowy dragon rising from the mist. Title: Secrets of the Forest Seyders Author: Ann Glimmer Tagline: The End Of The World Begins With A Dragon Backside of the book cover with the text: When a dragon snatches Idun’s boyfriend in the middle of their argument, she’s sure she’s gone mad—dragons don't exist. But since Gabriel had just called her naïve and weak-willed, she decides to prove him wrong and save him. Whule rushing through Sweden’s forests, she’s intercepted by a secret magic society called Forest Seyders. Not only will they help find Gabriel, but also teach Idun Old Norse magic. Unfortunately, broody-but-cute Edvin is assigned against his will as Idun’s magic teacher. To top it all off, some ancient prophecy warns that the dragon is just the beginning of the apocalypse known as.... Ragnarök.

OMG! Another publisher fighting for my book-on-sub saw my last post and sent this mock-up book cover of my WIP. They haven't even read the book, only seen the pitch!
#Editors, what's happening?! 🤩

Book cover with a couple almost kissing against a purple sky, and a dark mansion at the center. Text: A Paranormal Romcom Murder Mystery. Beauty and the Beast meets Knives Out. Title: Beauty and the Vamp Author: Ann Glimmer Backside of the book cover with the text: A Witch Reporter. A Vampire Crime Lord. A Murder To Solve. A Mansion Full Of Suspect. When witch reporter Lila publishes an article accusing the new vampire crime lord of murdering his predecessor, he surprises her by inviting her to stay at his mansion—to help him solve it. Set on saving the the human “blood donors” of the mansion, she accepts. While uncovering a web of deadly conspiracies, her attraction to the dangerous lord blossoms into forbidden desire, and as the truth unravels, Lila must decide if the scoop of the century is worth risking her life, or worse—her heart. “A whodunit with extra bite.” – Famous Book Critic “The MMC can sink his fangs in me anytime.” – Famous Booktoker “It has dragons.

Publishers are fighting over TRUE HATE'S KISS! One of them even sent this to my agent—a mock-up of what the published book could look like! I guess as a way to get us to pick them?
Any other #Editors want to join the battle? 😁

Book Cover with a couple almost kissing against a misty forest backdrop with silhouettes of fairies and dragons and a frame with Norse runes. Title: True Hate's Kiss Author: Ann Glimmer. Tagline: "To break her curse, she needs a kiss from the man she swore to kill". Backside of the book cover with the text: Deadly Curses. Forbidden Desire. Kisses With Consequences. Älva of the Fjälla Clan is determined to prove herself a worthy successor to her mother—the jarl—and protect her people from the enemy clan. So when one of them kills her father, she’s consumed with hatred for the mysterious man and swears revenge. When a witch casts a deadly curse on Älva and her family, she’s forced to seek help from the capricious spirits who offer only one way to break the curse: a True Hate’s Kiss. The man she hates must kiss her of his own free will. Resolved to trick her father’s murderer into kissing her—and then kill him—she infiltrates the enemy clan. But the more she learns about her enemy, the more she questions who the true villain really is. Forbidden desire threatens to ruin everything—her clan’s respect for her, the safety of her people, and most of all, her chances of breaking the curse.

An agent’s guide to TRUE HATE’S KISS A jarl’s daughter must trick her enemy into kissing her to break a deadly curse on her family ~115 000 words New Adult Romantasy By Ann Glimmer When a man from the enemy clan murders Älva’s father, she swears revenge. But then her family is cursed to die. The only way to break the curse? A TRUE HATE’S KISS The man she hates the most must kiss her of his own free will. Scandinavian Iron Age (almost Viking Age) Pretending to woo him while betraying him Feuding clans = true enemies-to-lovers + forbidden love Knife to throat Complicated family dynamics Magical swords and potions  Fairytale creatures based on Scandinavian folklore I trailed my hands up his muscular chest, locking eyes with him in what I hoped was an enticing gaze. “What do you want me to do?” His slow, predatory smile sent a shiver down my spine. “I want you to lose your mind so completely, you’re no longer aware of the sounds coming out of your mouth.” I swallowed. That was absolutely not what I’d expected him to say. Sliding my hands around his neck, I rose onto my toes, closing in on his mouth, but he dodged past my face, pressing his lips against my neck instead. My mind tangled with incoherent thoughts as his calloused hands stroked down my back to my hips. He tugged at my dress, but my belt held it in place. His fingers grazed my stomach and found the buckle, undoing it. With a thud, it fell to the floor. My knife! Now it was out of reach. Panic surged hot and cold through my veins. He was undressing me. By the spirits, he was undressing me! Why wouldn’t he kiss me? Wasn’t that how these things were supposed to start? The men I’d been with before had always kissed me as soon as we’d slipped away to be alone. His lips brushed my neck, sending shivers tingling down my spine. He tugged at my dress again, and my mind blanked as I raised my arms, allowing him to pull it over my head.

He's a 10, but he murdered your father right in front of you.
Also, he belongs to the enemy clan.
But then your family is cursed to die...

In case you're wondering why it's called the querying trenches... 😏
An image with soldiers in a trench with the text: Querying – Why it’s called “The trenches” The constant smattering of rejects. The dreadful silence between battles when you know 50 unanswered queries lies in wait, poised to attack. The "agent-like" rations being handed out to your comrades in the trenches, seemingly at random and almost never to you. The overwhelming joy of getting in a hit - full or partial. Then the deafening boom of a "full-reject" grenade detonating in your face.
