the elevator pitch: a Peter Pan retelling set in Victorian London where Wendy is a writer and she created Neverland
the description:
One Choice
Lady Wendy Darling has dreamed of having her daring adventures of Peter Pan published in bookshops but engaged to a man of whom she has heard too many rumors about, Wendy’s dream must stay a dream. That is until she gets the chance of a lifetime, a chance to go to Neverland.
The magical island is as if pulled straight from her notebook but even magical islands present their own troubles. Wendy has everything she ever wanted: love, a home, freedom, a family, but how far is she willing to go to keep it? And how far is her newfound family willing to go to keep her?
The first in a trilogy, The Rescue introduces readers to the reinvented world of Neverland and a diverse cast of characters in a plot sure to leave you on the edge of your seat.

endorsements:
“Peter Pan with a twist, where heroes aren’t always heroic and the lost must be found.” - R. Dugan, author of The Chaos Circus, The Starchaser Saga, The Cursed of the Blessed Trilogy, and The Tales of Wonder and Woe Series
“for someone who doesn’t like fantasy, i really did like this novel! the plot twist at the end was so shocking. i also thoroughly enjoyed the chapter titles because i found them amusing and humorous. if you do like fantasy, feminism, and folk tales (i wanted to stick with the alliteration) then this is definitely for you.” - Meg Mayor, author of Unmasked, and hope and anxiety / love and death
“Wendy Darling is a rebelious, brave and obstinate lady, yet compassionate beyond all odds. It was never easy to endure the life of obligation she was trapped into as the daughter of the duke, but there was an ultimate bright side that eased all the agony she had to suffer: the stories she had been writing as an escape from the wicked world around her turned out to be more than a mere fairytail; it was all real, Peter Pan and the Hook and Neverland... all of it!” - Cindya Nesr, author of Cursed

Things Unsaid
the elevator pitch: a short poetry collection
the description:
Things Unsaid is a short poetry collection split into three sections inspired by experiences in Lucy Gould’s life.
the age rating: PG-13
endorsements:
“The poetry collection is gut-wrenching in all the right places, telling a deeper, complex narrative through just three short, distinctive sections. Clearly a lot of effort was put in, and emotion as well, as readers feel the emotions right alongside Lucy as the poet! The artwork was a stunning and creative way to depict emotion alongside lines of verse.” - Meg Mayor, author of Unmasked, and hope and anxiety / love and death
“firstly, the dedication had me sobbing before I even started reading the poetry (which is always a good sign)
secondly, the little artsy features on each page I absolutely ADORED. It absolutely gave the vibes of a journal, and in a way it felt like I was sneakily looking through someone's secret diary. Like I was actually peering into someone's inner life, words that were only meant for them.” - Makayla Jade, author of The Genesis Awakening Series
“i am embarrassed of the way i practically inhaled this book. i started crying after reading "Is it purposeful? Your constant theft of everything I value" and just continued to cry on just about every page after that but it hurt so good i refused to stop reading it. pages 7 and 11 had me completely WRECKED & needing some time to process what i had just read. they felt like the author dissected my brain and wrote about some of the most personal feelings i have and i loved it. the illustrations were sooo pleasing to the eye and the way this book is formatted?! SO unique. i've genuinely never read any poetry collection done in such an eye catching way. this is one collection i NEED on my poetry shelf!” - Mae Setrova, author of Lung Capacity
