I love a good noir voice, and am always on the lookout for speculative takes on mystery romance (Twin Peaks meets The Big Sleep). If I'm not reading romance I'm reading horror and weird fiction: some recent faves include We Love You, Bunny, The Starving Saints, and The Salt Grows Heavy.

Harlequin Intrigue books are 55-60K, HEA required, adult (not YA or NA). Mystery-focused with a strong romantic partnership that evolves with the suspense.

#mswl time: forever looking for a Twin Peaks style small-town romantic suspense. Fish out of water special agent, secretive and seductive love interest, murder, mystery, and slightly weird goings on. Intrigue guidelines are at harlequin.submittable.com, ask me if you have questions!
