Rain's Works in Progress

Chem-Punk Sci-Fi/Fantasy - first in planned series

Comps: Alice in Wonderland meets Six of Crows

Status: Ready to query!

SATC is a high-octane, brain-bending portal fantasy about Wren, a stressed-out insomniac who discovers she can dream across dimensions—and just in time. Slipping into a new reality means Wren could find an otherworldly cure for her terminally-ill father but, when offered a blossom-based remedy in exchange for taking part in a prison break, she has no choice but to risk her life for his.

Stabby Sapphic Sci-Fi/Dystopian - stand alone

Comps: Fallout meetsThe Handmaid's Tale

Status: Querying...

EG is a gritty, cut-throat dystopian about Jules, a take-no-shit outlaw who accepts a contract to transport a woman cross-country in exchange for doses of a life-suspending drug. But when she discovers her cargo is pregnant and desperate for an abortion, Jules risks it all in a harebrained blackmail scheme in hopes of securing both the drug and her companion’s bodily autonomy.

Paranormal Mystery/Horror - stand alone

Comps: Mexican Gothic meets Good Girls Guide to Murder

Status: Draft 1 is staring down the barrel of a rewrite...

Blurbier blurb coming soon, but here's a start:

Think Seven Brides for Seven Brothers without all the sugar-coating. No boot-scootin' sing-alongs to cute-ify abduction, no frilly skirts and to cover up the true terrors of Stockholm Syndrome. Seven women go missing every seven years, and Maxine better figure out why, or she could be one of them.

Contemporary/Magical Realism - stand alone

Comps: A Man Called Ove meets The Lake House 

Status: Draft 3 is napping, zzzz...

Blurbier blurb coming soon, but here's a start:

June had it all—the book deal, the house, the hereditary disease that killed her father... That’s why this story isn’t about her, it's about Kasper, the spouse left behind to both detangle the threads of June's unfinished trilogy and those distorting her mysterious disappearance.
