SPECIAL INTERESTS
|
-
Fiction tends to be more commercial than literary
-
More interested in women's fiction than romance
-
In the adult world, I’m looking for: commercial women’s fiction, historical fiction, mystery, biography, history, health, and lifestyle – and, especially, thoughtfully written commercial novels, thrillers with international settings, and narrative non-fiction.
-
In the children’s world, I’m looking for: Smart, contemporary YA and middle-grade novels. A great new mystery series for boys would be fun. I will look at historical fiction and fantasy but am not taking on much in those areas.

There she makes new friends, and the cutest guy at the school, Aidan, seems mesmerized by her.
