My Heist Crew!

Amy Christine Parker is doing a really fun thing for the release of her new young adult novel SMASH & GRAB, which, as you might expect from the name, is a heist novel. She’s asking people who they’d have on their heist crew, and people are tweeting and otherwise posting, using the hashtags #Smash&Grab andContinue reading “My Heist Crew!”

Installment 3 of How I Met My Client/Agent

I really love this new How I Met My Client/Agent series on the blog and hope you do too! One of my favorite things about it is that it illustrates the many paths to finding representation. I first met Carol Berg at a pitch appointment at the Pikes Peak Writers Conference in 1999. Now, I’mContinue reading “Installment 3 of How I Met My Client/Agent”

Installment 2: How I Met My Client

This is technically the third installment of How I Met My Client, since these posts were inspired by one of our Knight Agency newsletters where I talked about the story of meeting Lynn Flewelling for the first time and had her share the story from her perspective as well.  Not long ago, Christie Golden kickedContinue reading “Installment 2: How I Met My Client”

The Dreamland Chronicles

Wm. Mark Simmons is a genius.  There, I said it.  On the surface, his books are rollicking good times, full of action, puns and fun.  Below the surface…well, they’re like an iceberg. There’s so much more you don’t see unless you care to look.  So I’m so pleased that his Dreamland Chronicles are now availableContinue reading “The Dreamland Chronicles”

Belated Book Birthdays

No, no, no, it cannot be June already.  It’s not possible!  (Though my thermostat begs to differ.)
