BETWEEN MARGINS AND MAGIC
Everyone knows Danielle Walker as the capital “L” Literature-loving high school English teacher, but she has a secret: she’s obsessed with spicy romantasy books. The only other indulgence she allows herself is the annual trip to the Renaissance Faire with her girls. This year, even shy Danielle can’t resist flirting with a guy wearing the perfect cosplay of Voss, her ultimate book boyfriend from The Realm of Two Moons series. He flirts back, nicknames her Dani, and asks for her help in an elaborate roleplay game. Dani is so ready for “Voss” to take her home and get this corset off! But through a freakin’ portal where she sees the actual two moons? She definitely should have texted the group chat first.
Dani steps into the romantasy realm that probably saved her life (emotionally) but now it’s trying to kill her (literally). Her favorite author has been stealing plot lines from very real people and places, but this part hasn’t been published yet! And a real boyfriend is much more rewarding, but far more complicated, than the version on the page. Dani will have to find her inner main character energy if she’s going to become the heroine Voss needs to stop a rival king from draining the magic that protects his realm. Because if she doesn’t, Earth is next.
Confront the baddies. Defeat the dragon. Get the guy. Save the world(s). It’s every reader’s dream, right?
I’m seeking representation for BETWEEN MARGINS AND MAGIC, a spicy adult romantasy complete at 99,000 words about a romantasy reader who discovers her favorite book hero is not fictional, and she must live the adventure she only ever reads about to save his very real fantasy world. It’s a love-letter to romantasy, combining the “step into a book” hook of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews with the character-driven heart of Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer.
