I have another twelve agents duplicated at a variety of respectable agencies that I can try depending on the responses of their colleagues.

What I’m Writing:

The Were-humans: Gothic werewolf novel set in 1970s Southern Iowa

The Klarion Series: Five books in a series. Four of them stand alone. Currently detailing plot points, time lines, historical events, family events, and characters so I can see how the books link. In short, I’m playing in my sand box.

What I’m Revising:

Nothing right now.

What I’m Editing:

O-Taga-San Waiting for my editorial letter.

What is ready to come out:
