SPECIAL INTERESTS
|
-
Looking for fiction that bends reality. YA, middle grade, and chapter books, preferably fantastical but grounded in the real world (Scott Westerfeld, Garth Nix, Daniel Pinkwater). Fantasy of all kinds, but preferably urban (Jim Butcher), or extremely well crafted epic (Pat Rothfuss), or something that blends history and fantasy (Naomi Novik). Anything steampunk (Scott's LEVIATHAN series) or genre-mashing/crossover (Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, the Dark Tower series). Science fiction, but something new and exciting, more Halo Jones than Orson Scott Card. I love suspense novels like Thomas Harris or John Connolly and spy thrillers as well (ie Le Carre, Charles McCarry, or Charles Cummings more recently). Cool shoot-em-up thrillers are great, but not ones that involve terrorist plots to take down governments, that's just not my bag. Literary fiction as well, if it's weird and wonderful, and if it's delightfully droll like Christopher Moore. I am also partial to paranormal romance (yes, I do love a good Laurel K. Hamilton novel) or romantic suspense (provided the woman kicks major ass).

-
Women's fiction. Memoirs, especially about abuse. Lee Childs or David Baldacci-like thrillers. (They're great, just not for me.)

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
|
-
I prefer e-queries. Please make sure to include the word "query" in the subject line of the email, and attach the first 50 pages as a word document. (Please do NOT copy the first 50 pages directly into the body of the email.) Snail mail is fine, but takes me longer to read and respond.
