Dear Awesome Agent:
Seventeen-year-old Larkspur Everbloom has a secret. The women in her family stop aging once they reach adulthood. They can never die of old age. Instead, they end up murdered.
Feared for their agelessness, they are pursued by a shadowy organization known as BloodSlayers. Larkspur has known this her whole life. Aunt Magnolia, who took her in when her mother was murdered four years ago, reminds her every single day. They’ve moved from place to place on a yearly basis, always settling in remote locations to remain undetected by the BloodSlayers’ vast network. Now their money has run out, so Aunt Magnolia needs a job to keep them afloat. The closest work she can find is in the city.
Fitting into a new school, WoodBridge High, after being homeschooled to avoid the BloodSlayers is a massive struggle. Keeping time and regimented schedules seems so stressful compared to relaxing in nature with a book to study and cultivating skills such as gardening, creating artwork, and music on her own schedule. Even more stressful is avoiding the the omnipresent social media, whatever that is. Who would understand that a simple tweet with her picture could be seen by the BloodSlayers and bring danger crashing down on her doorstep?
Unfortunately for Larkspur, the BloodSlayers determine the Everblooms’ location as soon as Larkspur enrolls. A boy in her class, Tanner James, befriends her despite her attempts to remain an invisible loner. He has a secret, too. He comes from a long line of BloodSlayers, and Larkspur is his first assignment. Toy with their prey, then capture and kill is what he’s been taught.
When two of them uncover the truth behind what caused a centuries-old blood feud between the Everblooms and BloodSlayers, the pair must stand together to end the feud before it decimates their two clans.
Everbloom is an [XX,XXX] - word YA Fantasy inspired by Norse mythology. My YA Fantasy, The MirrorMasters, was published by Clean Reads in 2016. My short story, "First Wife"--a YA retelling of the biblical story of Leah, Jacob, and Rachel, is published in Month9Books' 2016 In The Beginning charity anthology. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Larkspur has been home schooled her entire life. Fitting into a new school, WoodBridge High, is a massive struggle. Finding her classrooms through a labyrinth of crowded hallways is impossible, never mind remembering her locker combination or having just five minutes to pee between classes. Being around hordes of kids her age who have known the ropes since Kindergarten is super uncomfortable, and so is the omnipresent social media.

He comes from a long line of BloodSlayers, and Larkspur is his first assignment. He’s dedicated to his cause and determined to prove himself worthy of the responsibility he’s been given. She just wants to survive high school.
When two of them uncover the truth behind what caused a centuries-old blood feud between the Everblooms and BloodSlayers— a feud that began over an apple stolen from the Norse Goddess Idun that granted the Everbloom women immortality — the pair must stand together to end the feud before it decimates their two clans.
