Yeah! Mine leans more on that tenderly comedic voice common in Backman’s novels as opposed to a more dry wit like Rachel Harrison (for example) but I love all the fresh takes! Time for a werewolf renaissance 🤍

More timely comps are:
ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES by Charlotte McConaghy and DAMNATION SPRING by Ash Davidson 🤍

It’s if JANE EYRE stumbled into FX’s THE BEAR. A western gothic with a post-comedy voice perfect for fans of genre bending authors Charlotte McConaghy and Fredrik Backman.

The same manuscript that I’ll be querying in two weeks! The manuscript itself is done, but I’m prepping and polishing all the materials for submission!

To quote The Dead Zone…

And it’s the best part — the doing of it. The creating, the building, the piecing together. 🖤
