My Manuscript Wish List®

For Romance, I’m partial to contemporary stories, small towns, cowboys, law enforcement, firefighters, second chances, friends-to-lovers, and enemies-to-lovers. I’m a sucker for a fast-paced romantic suspense, bonus for forced proximity. The more unique the setting, the better. Characters struggling with their faith is always welcome, but I’d be just as thrilled to find characters who are solid in their faith and rely on it to deal with their current circumstances.

In Young Adult, I’m on the hunt for stories set during camp–summer camp, Bible camp, family camping trip–in the following subgenres: romance, action/adventure, thriller, or mystery. I’d love to find a contemporary story with strong familial relationships and positive friendships. A sweet faith-based romance or heartbreaking love triangle would be wonderful, too. And I have a weakness for a good dystopian.

Some Totally Random Things I’d Like to See:

  • Characters getting stranded due to a storm
  • Vineyards, B&B, Inn
  • Harsh settings–Canadian tundra, Alaskan bush, jungles, deserted islands, mountains, etc
  • Survival stories
  • Fictional cults (the negative impact they have on lives and breaking free / starting over)
  • Reality TV plot / setting, podcast

**At this time, I am NOT looking for any adult books outside of romance and all romance sub-genres**

Fun facts about me:

I have 4 pit bulls and am an advocate for the breed.

I also have 5 cats.

I used to sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door and hated it!

I could live off Coke Zero, pasta, and pizza.

I don’t like wine. Or coffee.
