New #MSWL ! I'm building my adult list, so I'd love to see adult thrillers/suspense. Send me your psychological, domestic, and serial killer thrillers. I LOVE dark!!! No medical, political, legal, or spy thrillers. 1/3 #WritingCommunity

I love dark crime thrillers, literary horror, suspense, complex espionage tales, genre mash-ups, whether they feature female or male protagonists.

I am open to queries! I need to prioritize current authors, so right now there are very specific types of books that I will be paying closer attention to.

Submission instructions are at dunhamlit.com, and this graphic will hopefully also help you plan when to query me.

Thriller/mystery/suspense: More open here! Though note that I tend to like more focus on character/relationship than is most typical for these genres--not necessarily as plot-driven as is typical--and very literary writing (I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU by Kara A. Kennedy).
