#PitMad

Since I missed yesterday, and as #PitMad is next Thursday, I thought I would post an entry where people can share their pitches and get feedback. I'm actually pitching two books next week. My pitches are below. I'm also happy to add people to my retweet list. Just leave a comment here or on Twitter!

My first book is a Christmas contemporary romance. Here are my pitches:

Take 1 retired marine and add 1 introverted flight attendant 
Pour in 1 teen daughter, a dash of ex-husband drama, and a pinch of amateur matchmakers
Stir in a spoonful of holiday stress 
Bake in a small town’s embrace 
A sweet treat or a recipe for disaster?

Most wonderful time of year?
Yeah, right. After my ex left last Christmas, it's hardly my favorite holiday. Love was the last thing on my mind but when I invited a newly retired marine to stay I risked upsetting the fragile stability I’d built for my daughter.

Dreaming of a home for Christmas? 
Brad is, but he’ll settle for faux domesticity. It’s a good segue into his new civilian life. He’s got a job lined up, a place to stay, and maybe even a budding #R?  
But then an old flame returns and threatens his holiday cheer

My second book is a contemporary romance as well, but has elements of Magical Realism.

Ever felt like a bird is stalking you?
This isn’t a Hitchcock movie, but I’m seeing cardinals everywhere
Legend says they’re visitors from heaven but that’s crazy right?
OMG is my mom meddling in my love life from her afterlife?
Figures. So much for RIP

You never forget your 1st love, but when a grief-stricken Lanie walks back into Donnie’s life, his guilty conscience over her mother’s deathbed confession leaves him in a dilemma: break Lanie’s heart with the truth or his by letting her go.

Garden Spells x Hallmark
Legend says if you see a cardinal it’s a visit from heaven
Lanie is skeptical but losing her mom makes her want to believe
The visits seem to point to her 1st love Donnie which makes no sense
But he’s got a secret that she needs to hear
