Seventeen-year-old Isla Blackman only agrees to participate in a Halloween party séance because Dominic, an old crush, wants to. She is sure nothing will happen when they try to contact the spirit of her mother. But the séance receives a chilling reply.

An exerpt from the book


“I’m not sure which is worse,” I whispered to Hamish, stroking his fur, “believing I killed my mother, or believing she abandoned me…and Dad lied about it.” Hamish didn’t answer. He was already asleep. “Well, you’re no use.”
Against all odds, the steady rhythm of Hamish’s breathing lulled me into a doze. It seemed like no time had passed when I awoke to a change in light: my father’s large frame was in the doorway, blocking the light.
“Isla? Are you awake?” His voice was tentative.
“Yes.” I sat up, rubbing my eyes. Hamish grumbled a protest.
“Can I turn the light on?”
“Sure.”
I blinked and stared at my father. He looked dishevelled and his eyes were wide, like he’d seen a ghost. He was holding the gift bag he’d given me on my birthday. “You left this at the restaurant the other week, when you went out for dessert with that boy,” he said, his voice strained.
As confused and resentful as I was feeling right now, I still loved him, and his appearance worried me. “Dad, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” he said. He was an even worse liar than Sarah. He came into the room and sat on the edge of the bed. “Here.” He tried to hand me the bag. Vomit burned the back of my throat, and I flinched back.
He saw the flinch, and his face grew even more drawn. “Isla, take it.” There was an urgency in his tone that I neither understood nor liked.
“No. Dad, what’s going on? You’re freaking me out.”
He looked around the room. “Do you have any of my work in here?”
The question confused me. I felt my cheeks warm. “Um, I’m not sure.” The answer was no. Pretty much every piece of ironwork he’d given me was in the shed. The rest I’d given away to friends.
“Here.” He upended the gift bag. The heavy iron circlet tumbled into my lap.
My stomach twisted with nausea so severe I clenched my teeth, afraid I’d throw up. Where the iron touched my thighs through the denim of my jeans it felt ice-cold, and yet it burned at the same time. I gasped, shoving it away from me and onto the floor. It singed my hand.
What the hell are you doing?” I jumped to my feet. Hamish leapt up too, yapping.
Dad said nothing but the look on his face was wild, despairing.
“You’re crazy,” I cried, fleeing the room.
“Isla, wait,” Dad yelled after me. But I ran, snatching my bag from the hallway before rushing out the front door. I ignored the bite of tiny rocks on the soles of my feet. I had to get away from him, from everything.

Sept 2014 #Pitmad Requested Pitches

Last Tuesday was another fabulous #PitMad twitter pitch event, hosted by the even more fabulous Brenda Drake. I've been so busy lately I didn't have time to follow the #pitmad parties that happened earlier this year, but was able to jump into the frenzy with this one!

As always, I had a blast! So fun to see what everyone was pitching, and all of the authors out there re-tweeting and otherwise encouraging one another. I love the writing community!!

In January 2013 and March 2013 I did a round-up of requested pitches from the #pitmad events. I thought it'd be fun to do it again!

So what pitches got agent requests?
Scroll down to read them all!**

September 2014 #PitMad 
Requested Pitches
  • Young Adult      (195 novels requested) 
  • New Adult         (50 novels requested)
  • Adult                  (145 novels requested)
  • Middle Grade   (70 novels requested)
  • Picture Books   (27 books requested)
  • Non-Fiction
    & Memoir          (7 books requested)
  • Total = 494 manuscripts got requests!!
**Note: Apologies in advance for the formatting and any omissions. I tried my best to gather the majority of pitches that received agent favorites here, but I'm sure I likely missed some! And due to time constraints, I didn't attempt to compile faves from all the editors & small presses, so in reality, the number of requested pitches is much higher!

Congrats everyone!!!
