#BluPitHype My undergrad degree is in anthropology, so I love historical fiction and fantasy stories that explore the role of cultural systems on characters and plot. That's why I love well-done historical fantasy and straight historical fiction.

Sigrun's arc is growth into leadership. She is initially underestimated but slowly takes over as the story progresses until she is undoubtedly an equal to those who previously dismissed her. #BluePitHype #AmQuerying THE MAIDEN AND THE ENDLESS DARKNESS Norse Historical Romantasy 93k pages

Can't say much here - some of the antagonists are revealed in plot twists. But none of them are evil, they all have their own rational agendas that conflict with Sigrun's goals. #BluePitHype #AmQuerying - THE MAIDEN AND THE ENDLESS DARKNESS Norse historical romantacy 93k words

I start with an idea about a character and a situation. This one began with a maiden sold off to a dragon and ready to burn down her own people in revenge- a seething rage that catches the dragon's attention. That initial germ never survives the actual writing though... #BluePitHype #AmQuerying

I'm a romantasy author from the Pacific Northwest. I write love stories with magic, but I read an eclectic variety of genres. I've had a handful of short stories published, but this is the first novel I've queried. #bluepithype
