I provide some useful querying tips here.

New MSs/WIPs!

I finished and polished a YA romance novel with a grounded sci-fi subplot, and I queried this in 2022. Status tbd.

I finished and polished a YA horror that is a little like a teen version of FROM on Epix but in a more ‘fun’ setting. (PS – watch FROM!). Queried in May-July 2022. An agent manuscript request for this novel is outstanding. Status tbd.

I finished and polished a YA horror set in small-town, central Pennsylvania. Boo! Potential to query Q2 2023.

I finished and polished a YA near-future dystopian novel – under wraps. Status tbd.

A darkly-comic, modern short story reminiscent of The Metamorphosis has been sold to a prestigious literary horror magazine. Details TBA in June 2023.
