This is also why Hitchcock movies scare me more than, say, the Saw series. <br /><br />I love the excerpt! Congrats on hammering out a story over a month and also on branching out, genre-wise. I always love reading your work, my friend!<br /><br />Until then, I remain, <br /><br />Your Obedient, <br /><br />Carla.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818614456443588750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-58211396442208935302012-06-09T13:33:00.684-05:002012-06-09T13:33:00.684-05:00Hi, Lauren, I just found you on Twitter and realiz...Hi, Lauren, I just found you on Twitter and realized you're also my agent sister! Weronika started repping me on May 17th. So we're both in this new and exciting stage together.<br /><br />How wonderful that you were able to have illustrations done for your characters? I'm so jealous!<br /><br />Well, I'm excited to get to know you more and good luck on subs and your new WIPs. :-)Kathryn Purdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337488365098780737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-89968843689654032332012-05-30T05:31:18.602-05:002012-05-30T05:31:18.602-05:00Gorgeous artwork!

I just know your story is going to WOW them!! <br /><br />And those illustrations for League of Rogues are priceless. <br /><br /><br />Give me a good old-fashioned historical gothic every time.
