ALT Title Slide: Title of the book across the top of the slide. The Women of Willow Hill by Samantha Gwyn. Contemporary Romantic Suspense. 70,000+ words. Graphics depicting a podcast.

ALT An Excerpt: The day the mayor went missing was the best day of her life. Not that she had anything against the mayor, besides the skeevy vibe she got from him once a couple of years prior, but Rosalie Foster loved nothing more than a good mystery. And this mystery just so happened to be in her very own town. A town where front-page news was a new stop sign being installed, the dates of the churchβs yearly fish fry, or the one time where some of the farm boys motorized a bar stool and drove it around town.

ALT The Pitch: What started as an amateur investigation into her townβs missing mayor, somehow ended with her ex as her podcast co-host, the book club acting suspicious, the sheriff hiding evidence, a missing best friend and a possible serial killer on the loose. A podcast to die for

ALT Comps and Tropes: Book covers of ACROSS A VANISHING SKY by Catherine Cowles, FIX HER UP by Tessa Bailey, IDENTITY by Nora Roberts and SUITE LIES AND ALIBIS by Kristy Dixon. Tropes mentioned are second chance romance, brotherβs best friend, a ticking clock, a missing person, nicknames and banter and small town gossip.

ALT The Pitch. "When Raven March moves to Pinehollow, she hopes the quiet woods will help her heal. Instead, she wakes to whispers, shadows between the trees, and warning notes in her own handwriting that she doesnβt remember leaving. Her only solace is Kane Han, her aloof yet ever-present neighbor. Their attraction is instant and volatile, but Kane belongs to the forest, and Raven is beginning to suspect it has plans for her, too." Includes gray runes and a framed image of a couple embracing on a dark background.
