Has anyone written a novel based on the Maria Callas-Aristotle Onassis-Jackie Kennedy love triangle? This is the book I’m in the mood for this morning. #mswl

The longest running item on my #mswl has been a historical thriller—think THE HISTORIAN, THE SHADOW OF THE WIND, THE DOLL FACTORY. They are so hard to pull off, but maybe this is my year! Agents, please send my way.

I should probably do a proper #mswl soon, but I’ve seen a large uptick in pitches/MSs for genre romance in my inbox, which is NOT a good fit for my list. Rom-coms, upmarket women’s fiction—yes, please! But I’m not the right person for contemporary romance.
