New Agent! New Book!

Good news, y'all! I've just signed with a new agent! The hunt is over, and I'm very proud to say I am represented by Kathleen Nishimoto at William Morris Endeavor. Now, onto the next round of revisions on New Brighton--which will definitely be retitled (but what??) as I revise. Finding the right agent is absolutely exhausting, but I'm so happy to have Kathleen on my publication team.

It's less than a month until the birthday of my first book, Borrowed Horses. I'm 90% excited and 10% terrified. After so many years of relentless revising, it's strange to have it out of my hands, to know that I can't change it any more. I'm way too aware of all the things I wanted to make better--which I suppose is only natural when you've been flaw-hunting for nine-plus years. I'm trying to forget that, though and, instead, remember all the things that I'm proud of. I really hope you all like the book and that you fall in love with Joannie Edson and Zephyr and Timothy every bit as much as I did.
