Oooh! I love the way your projects sound and I wish you the best of luck in what you're querying. I'd really love to hold these as books in my hand one day, especially the lighthearted UF because it sounds like it really turns some tropes on their head and I love some trope-turning, me.
she mentions in passing that vampire boyfriends really aren't as much fun as most people think
Yes, THANK YOU FOR THIS. I've always kind of imagined that it would be really uncomfortable to sleep with a guy who's got cold feet except OVER THEIR ENTIRE BODY. You think cold feet under the covers are bad, what if it's the entire person?
I don't have any nifty links for mine. The urban fantasy draft I'm working on now is tentatively titled Soul Machines. It's the Vampire Novel O' Doom I'm working on right now. Not sure how to summarize it neatly (which bodes well for the query letter) - but the short version?
Our heroine, Melissa Ramirez, gets attacked by a possessed vampire lord and when her coworker saves her by killing him, the only way to keep his very unhappy underlings at bay is to find out who possessed him in the first. And the only people willng to help? The dead lord's best friends: his second in command, his pack of do-gooding Robin Hood-esque shapeshifter thieves, and his gun-toting 80-year-old daughter.
Not nearly as awesome sounding as yours, and I suck at summaries. Queries and synopses are my nightmares, srsly.
I really hope I get to see your stuff one day, it sound astounding!
