Well, I got one of my to-do things accomplished this week. I finally finished revising the Spy book and sent that off to my agent. Huzzah! Now, I can focus on writing Quiver, my young-adult fantasy.

Not sure if I’ve mentioned it or not, but the Spy book focuses on Abby Tomb, a bookstore owner and paramortal (someone with a special talent/gift/power). In Abby’s case, she happens to be immune to magic. When Abby witnesses a shooting, she’s recruited by PACT — the Paramortal Counter Terrorism Agency — to go undercover as a spy. But there’s more to the mission than meets the eye — especially Alex Raikkonen, the sexy mercenary who seems to be interested in keeping Abby very, very close …

The book, appropriately enough, is called Live & Let Spy. Because you guys know how much I love all things James Bond. 😎

It’s an urban fantasy, but not quite as gritty as the Assassin series (I don’t think I could write grittier than those books). Spy is a little lighter, a little more fun. Think Alias with magic. If my agent likes it, it would be the start of a series.

But honestly, I’m not holding my breath about the book selling. Editors aren’t buying much right now, given the crappy economy, although urban fantasy seems to be selling better than most things. So do young-adult novels. Who knows? I may have more luck selling Quiver, if I can ever finish writing the darn thing …

We shall see what happens …
