sales are merp, here’s a plot-focused book pitch. Side note all these have Jewish heroines.

The Olive Conspiracy cozy fantasy setting that’s somehow both high-stakes and high-comfort. Queen Shulamit uncovers an international plot to ruin her country’s economy by sabotaging all the farms. Is her straight-girl crush from when they were both teenaged princesses, Queen Carolina, involved or is she just an innocent bystander? $4 here and also Kindle

Cinnamon Blade: Knife in Shining Armor high-heat superhero romance between a snarky ex-jewel-and-art-thief (who is now sidekick to the heroic Captain Werewolf) and the nerdy damsel in distress she keeps rescuing. The plot is basically: ok now that I’ve asked her out, will we ever get to have a normal date or will aliens and vampires keep interrupting? $2 here and also Kindle

Knit One Girl Two Clara finds the perfect solution to her ‘what will my next line of sock yarn look like’ problem when she sees Danielle’s wildlife paintings. The rest of the story is “oh shit my small business succeeded too quickly HALP” and the girls stumbling around a budding romance while Danielle deals with Family Shit. $2 here and also Kindle. Also comes in a $3 bundle with other f/f stuff.

also, Olive is part of a series of four standalones and some short stories, all of which are here for $17 if you like bundles
