My Bookish Year (2024)
WRITING
My biggest and most exciting news of last year is, of course, that I signed with an agent, Rebecca Lawrence, of the Booker Albert Literary Agency. Still chuffed. We're shopping The Redemption of Prince Charming (a Cinderella retelling) so cross your fingers for me!

| Strong beginning with a blizzard and a creepy forest, but the middle was meh and frustrating, full of dead ends. The climax picked up the pace again, but the ending was too dreary. | |

p. 70 Likeable main character, good banter, and the mash up of fantasy plus office setting was interesting, but not enough plot to pull me into a story. I need goal/motivation/conflict and/or a reason keeping the two romantic leads apart when they're ...more |

| Wizards, superheroes, interdimensional beasties and sentient cloaks... Having the pov from the cloak rather than the wizard made for a nice twist. | |

| Inventive world-building and cool magical martial arts are the strengths. This turned out to be one of those books where I liked the main plotline but was bored by a secondary one--I'm not sure why. I liked Saliminde in the first book, but I just did ...more | |

"I have to." A regretful sigh. "And it's best if you don't remember any mermen." He tucked a strand of wet hair behind her ear. His voice stroked her skin like velvet. "Forget me."
And she did.”
