New client alert! Chair-dancing with joy at signing @ldfauthor.bsky.social for her middle-grade book that has stolen my heart...and my Troll Stone.

Cannot wait to share this adorable (and wise!) fantasy adventure with the world!

I am bouncing off the walls to announce that I'm now represented by @ajvanbelle.bsky.social of @bookeralbertagency.bsky.social! From the get-go, they understood this strange world and its characters and helped them to shine bright. I'm excited to begin this mycorrhizal symbiosis!

Coming June 2025 at Polymath Press, BRIGHT CITY, SHATTERED is a sci-fi mystery novella set in a fictional city that feels like a character itself.

#PosterPit #PosterPitP #SF #M #A
A pitch in the format of a movie poster, with a picture of a woman looking to her left, her face not visible. The background is a blurry image of a building at night. The scene makes it look like she is about to go into the building. At the top of the poster, above the book's title, are text vignettes reading "retro futurism" "murder mystery" and "isolated city". Below the title is a brief description of the plot that reads "Bright City never sleeps, thanks to C3’s luma-powered electricity. When C3 CEO's niece is found dead on the company’s premises, the investigation is botched. Only Reine, C3’s new head of security, seeks the truth—even if it means risking her job, her reputation, and her freedom."

With a cover like this, how can you not read it? Had to give this book a shout. Cheeks were literally aching from endurance smiling. Stay hydrated as you read. Laughing till you cry can otherwise leave you desiccated like a prune!

Taking a moment to honor Michael Spring, founder of Flowstone Press, who published two of my poetry collections. His final poem written before his passing was just published at Pedestal Magazine. Incredible heart & talent.
