Wow. Richard Curtis. I'm impressed. Can you tell us what your books are about?

Hi there!

The White City is set in Denver and pits an ever growing metropolis against the ancient creatires that live in the Rocky Mountain Range. Nary a were or a vamp in it, but cougars and bears get a whole new spin.

I still haven't gotten down that one sentence pitch for Devouring Winter, so here's a teaser: What happens when winter moves like an animal on the hunt, taking villages one at a time, leaving its prey half alive for a more grotesque feeding by earth spirits? The mountain passes are blocked. No rescue is coming.

I've got more about both novels on my wordpress blog (address is on my profile page). This weekend I'll work on setting up the live journal site more. Nice to meet you!

Hi, Nancy! Glad you found this place. 8^) The folks here helped me SO much with my query letter when I was looking for my agent. Thanks to them, I ended up with a winner that got me my agent. I love these guys!
