Historical romance manuscripts make me long for an English cottage. Running through the wildflowers into my lovers arms. Being best friends with Jane Austen. Wait, did they have iced coffee in the 1700s? #Dealbreaker #WritingCommunity #LiteraryAgent #Booksky

My #MSWL asked for thrillers and now I’m so scared I have to put my laptop in the freezer. That’s a #Friends reference for you youngsters. Side note: Can a Frozen Laptop be used as a tax write off? #WritingCommunity #LiteraryAgent #Booksky

You know how authors dream of their perfect cast when writing a book? When I read a manuscript that moves me, I cast the characters, too. I mean, most of them are played by #PedroPascal, but I like to dream. #WritingCommunity #QueryMe #OpenQueries #LiteraryAgent #Booksky

Writers, not every no is defeat; sometimes, it's the universe shifting you from what no longer serves, making space for what's meant for you. 🌟 (I read this today, but couldn’t find an author.) #WritersCommunity #LiteraryAgent #QueriesAreOpen #KeepOnKeepingOn #Booksky
