I have an exam on Monday but I am P R O C R A S T I N A T I N G! So time for an #askagent! My #mswl when I reopen to queries in May is focused on Adult romance and commercial fiction. Like DEVIL’S BREATH by Lang Johnson: geni.us/Devils_Breath

Would I be foolish to specifically ask for non-Regency 18th century historical romance in my #mswl?

I love ROMANCE obviously so send me your swoony kissy stories (queer ones too)! But also send me books about best friends, and fiercely loving siblings, and all sorts of relationships.

I didn’t quote tweet cuz I don’t wanna project on that man’s story but I’d totally rep a m/m barbershop romance. #mswlDude cheats on his barber and gets more than a fade..... I’m just saying the plot is right there for the taking. #mswl
