My Taylor Era
Find Your Fearless Side
One impulsive decision to skip school for Taylor Swift tickets sets straight-A student Ali's carefully planned life spinning off course. Her scholarship? At risk. Her mom? Not speaking to her. And her ticket? A total scam.
But fate work a little magic, landing Ali at the concert of her dreams. When she meets Jacob in the next seat over, it feels like she can finally breathe again–until the music stops, and Ali is left with nothing but his first name and the memory of a perfect night.
​
Armed with a handful of clues and zero impulse control, Ali and her friends launch a summer-long mission to find Jacob again. Between midnight breakfasts, spontaneous road trips, and a recreated concert gone viral, Ali discovers something unexpected: she's doing more than finding Jacob–she's finding her fearless side.
My Taylor Era is the VIP Producing Partner Prize for development winner in the 2024 Launch Pad Prose competition (Scott Glassgold, Ground Control).

Champagne Problems
Every Party Has a Price
After a failed job interview, Rose Miller's fortune changes through a chance encounter with A-list socialite Grace Pembrooke. Grace's influence helps secure Rose a coveted position at a New York media giant, but the editor-in-chief's offer comes with a catch: Rose must write an exposé on Grace's inner circle, particularly Ellis Dane, the reclusive figure at the center of Champagne Bay's wealthy summer scene.
Under the guise of writing a summer romance, Rose infiltrates the legendary parties at the Dane estate where she discovers more than family secrets behind its gilded walls. The estate holds a supernatural curse, binding the Dane family within its borders until Ellis fulfills an old promise to marry Grace—a promise broken when he fell in love with someone else.
Death becomes an unexpected party guest at the Dane estate, and as her investigation grows more dangerous, one wrong move could expose Rose's true motives. As the cursed wedding draws closer, she learns that in Champagne Bay, there are forces that can turn even the most privileged into prey. And some people—including herself—will do anything for revenge.

Saltborn
Fear the Witch Beyond the Wall
In the town where Marnie Bellows lives, walls of salt are all that stand between civilization and the deadly Black Bayou, where a vengeful witch's magic corrupts all.
Marnie has always been drawn to the mines where this precious salt is harvested, despite her father's warnings to stay away. When she disobeys him to venture underground, she sets off a chain of events that collapses the mines, destroys the town’s protective walls, and leaves her twin at the mercy of the witch’s black water magic.
To save her brother, Marnie ventures beyond the wreckage of the wall and into the perilous swamp, with nothing hit her axe and an unwilling guide at her sidde. As the bones of the bayou begin to unravel, Marnie learns that to save the living, she might have to first awaken the dead—and face the witch for herself.
