lightning + lightning bugs
the almost right word
& the right word is
really a large matter--
it's the difference
between the lightning bug
and the lightning."

MISERERE: AN AUTUMN TALE
debuted July 1, 2011!
I represent North American rights to Robyn’s DANCING IN THE DARK, published originally by Penguin Australia in February 2010. The cover to the left is the American, to the right the original Australian.
In the novel, the daughter of ultra-orthodox Jews develops a passion for ballet and begins to dance in secret when her parents refuse lessons, only to face unexpected consequences.
DANCING IN THE DARK will be published in the United States by Flux on February 8, 2013!

I’ve sold two of Max’s fantasies, with the publication date of the first set. That novel, THREE PARTS DEAD, follows a first-year associate at an international necromantic firm responsible for solving the murder of a god. When she and her partner, a chain-smoking priest undergoing an understandable crisis of faith, begin to investigate, their search uncovers murder and more.
THREE PARTS DEAD will be published by Tor/Macmillan on October 2, 2012.
TWO SERPENTS RISE, a companion, will be published by Tor in the future.
