Budapest
Okay, kittens, here it is – the last preview tidbit from Tender Bites before it goes live on Amazon tomorrow. “Budapest” is the most contemporary story in the collection; I envision it happening pretty much right now. In every vampire story I’ve done before, the vampires have either been isolated predators or, as in theContinue reading “Budapest”
Angelique
Another tasty morsel from Tender Bites, coming this weekend from Amazon. This is the only first-person story in the batch, told from the point of view of Amadeo, the hunky vampire in question. He goes to Paris during the Terror to do murder in the streets and ends up discovering his soulmate . . .Continue reading “Angelique”

Check’em out – there are links for each at the top of the page. And if you haven’t read these yet (or like so many readers find yourself missing an installment), byContinue reading “Check out the backlist!”

So Monday, I heard back from the literary agent who had asked to see three chapters of my manuscript. As soon as I saw the email in my box, I was pretty sure it was bad news – it came back too quickly. The agent who wrote me was very kind and very professional andContinue reading “And then came no . . .”
Finally, a yes – querying an agent
Last week, I saw a reference to a particular literary agency on my Twitter feed. I clicked over to their website and saw that not only did they apparently represent work like mine, they represent another writer who used to work with the same editor as me at Pocket. They had very clear and specificContinue reading “Finally, a yes – querying an agent”
Hanging out my own shingle . . .
Well, kittens, it’s official, and I can officially talk about it – as of today, I am a free, unsigned, unrepresented author. My agent, Joy Azmatia, is no longer working as an agent. And rather than going through the dance of trying to find another one, I’m going to try it on my own forContinue reading “Hanging out my own shingle . . .”
