A DRAGON Year and a Wonderland Agency

2024 marks the Lunar Year of the Dragon (Wood Dragon, to be exact) and this means a year marked by growth, vitality, and wisdom. I'm a Tiger girl, but first-born of a Dragon mom, and I can already attest to the incredible opportunities that this year is presenting!

There have been many changes since I blogged last. In the spirit of downsizing, my husband and I bought a 1950's bunglaow in '22, that took a good 8 months to renovate (and by renovate, I mean gut.) It's sweet and charming, but tbh, I've missed the bush that surrounded our old home. I missed the white-throated sparrow and the deer, the woodpeckers and the foxes. So, after many nights and many discussions, we've decided we're moving back. Tigers in Dragon Years experience turmoil, change and growth, so I can't say I'm surprised. Dragons, like life, are funny that way.

Since my last blog, my agent has left their former agency and landed (very nicely!) on their feet at Looking Glass Literary & Media. Naturally, I went along for the ride, and am utterly impressed with this new agency, and the new approach to the author/agent community. I feel supported and included by the entire team (including founder and owner Natalie Lakosil) and I'm proud to be repped by this group of trailblazing people.

I've also written 3 new books (Dragon of Sand & Storm, Ship of Spells and Cold Stone & Ivy 3: The Seventh House). Dragon 2 had big claws to fill, but she's doing admirably, thank you. CSI3 is in revisions right now, and I do hope to have that book out this summer. Wrapping up at least one of the 2 series will feel good! Ship of Spells didn't find a home in the first round of submissions, but moving agencies seems to have opened new doors, and I look forward to sharing some important news on that front very soon!

So, thanks for your patience, dear Fantastical Peeps, and I look forward to what the Dragon will bring for this Tiger in 2024!
