Profile Generator
I am a female human. I'm seeking an agent for my first novel, FIRE EXHAUSTED (see blogs section, above, if interested, for synopsis). In the meantime, I'm writing my second novel, THE LOST BOOKS, which has me researching Hurricane Camille, the Vietnam War, the Iliad and the Odyssey and their literary spinoffs; and listening to a lot of Dylan and blues and Ravi Shankar. I never thought I would say this three years ago when I left, but I miss the South. I spend large portions of my day imagining Louisiana and Mississippi in great detail, and I love it. |
