I had to share this tweet from Agent Sarah. We got the cover flats for THE ORCHID THRONE (out in September 2019, but review copies are going out now – eep!) and they have foil! That’s the shiny stuff on the cover. It shows best in the video from her tweet, but here’s a still pic, in case the video doesn’t play. Super cool, huh? It’s my first cover with foil, and it’s SO PRETTY!

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is Knife in the Heart: The Harshest, Meanest Rejections from a Publisher/Editor/Agent. Come on over to hear about mine.

A morning conversation with a career-author friend has me thinking and talking about agents, agencies, and how to choose what's best for you. Introducing my restaurant-analogy of literary agencies. Also random mentions of bobcats, Neil Gaiman and how writing novels is like laying bricks in a road.

Touching back to yesterday's discussion of dealing with agents, how publishing is a small community - and how your agent might listen to your podcast when you complain about her! But all is good, and a shout-out to Sarah Younger of Nancy Yost Literary Agency for being awesome in all ways. The other agent mentioned is Joanna Volpe.
