I’d been querying on and off for a couple of years when one of the fabulous editors from the City Owl team read the first chapter of Hex, Love, and Rock & Roll in a contest and requested the full manuscript. I’d also sent a different book to City Owl by way of a pitch contest, so the stars aligned, and they offered me a contract on the series! I’ve found the perfect home for the Coven Daughters series and couldn’t be happier how it all worked out.
What are you reading lately?
I just finished They Never Learn by Layne Fargo and starting Remembering a Witch by Lauren Connolly. Several books by my City Owl pub sibs and fellow 2020 debuts are on the docket next.
