Now Represented by Alex Brown at Mad Woman Literary

I’m so excited to announce that I am now represented by Alex Brown at Mad Woman Literary Agency! Alex really understood the heart of Phenom, my pro wrestling Phantom of the Opera retelling. I’m thrilled to work with her on the next step of my publishing journey.

I’ll be posting a “how I got my agent” post in the near future, but the tl;dr is that I just…kept querying.

MATA HARI H21: THE EYE OF DAWN now available!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HISTORY’S MOST SEDUCTIVE SPY LIVES AGAIN- ‘MATA HARI: AGENT H21-THE EYE OF DAWN’ NOW AVAILABLE

Dancer...Seductress...Spy... They called her Mata Hari.

Pro Se Productions presents seven new tales of espionage and seduction, featuring the legendary female spy as she battles her enemies across Europe and beyond.

“There may not be a more tantalizing, truly amazing historical figure to have existed than Mata Hari,” says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions. “And when the man behind this project, David James Foster came to me with an idea for a collection of tales centered around her, the answer was simple. This is the sort of project Pro Se thrives on. Pro Se Productions is a company about reviving characters from the past, real or fictional. Mata Hari, in many ways, uniquely qualifies as both, so a new collection of tales swirling around her seemed a perfect fit for Pro Se.”

History’s infamous super spy returns in a rip roaring collection of adventure tales that prove Mata Hari was more than a double agent who used her powers of seduction to extract military secrets from her many lovers.

The tales told in MATA HARI: AGENT H21 - THE EYE OF DAWN range from the adventurous and esoteric, to the hauntingly personal, courtesy of authors James Hopwood, Shannon Court, Simone Torey, Justin Manuel Sawyer, Marie Beaud, A. S. Crowder, and E. W. Farnsworth. Intrigue and danger wait on every page for Agent H21!

If you're looking for a good read and to support a good cause, this one's for you!
