I wrote this to the author, Karen Moning, after reading 63% of her 15th novel Iced. Mind you, this is written by one of her male mc’s. My dearest darling Karen, I understand you have my story to tell, and you do it so well. But, Och! Lass…did you really have to go […]
Agent Update
I just received this update from Agent X. Hi Angela, Thanks so much for your patience and for sharing DOLOR AND SHADOW with me. I just got a chance to take a peek. Although I love the concept and think your authorial voice serves the adult fantasy audience very well, I’m just not connecting […]
Outlines and Word Counts and Nerves
I heard back from another agent who requested the outline and the first 50 pages of the manuscript. Now, I know I need an outline and, when I built my book package back in August, I included an outline. But a little nagging voice kept digging at me on whether or not what I had […]
Happy news!
Wahooo! Another agent asked to see more of my work! Wahoooo! So excited! Must focus!

When I wrote Tales of the Drui, every scene, every word, was selected with the 35-year-old male fantasy reader in mind. This was my demographic. Unfortunately, the […]

Goodreads post
So…this is the Goodreads post I wrote for my little sister. Once upon a time, my mother realized she wasn’t happy with me. And so Nikki arrived. Nikki didn’t say much at first. She screamed a lot and wore large, bulbous pants held together with pins. Many years passed before she finally decided to […]
