My Manuscript Wish List®
Crime Fiction Editor, Crooked Lane Books
I’m exclsuviely seeking fiction in the mystery/crime/suspense/thriller (and horror) genres, and my nonfiction interest is limited to true crime.
Military thrillers and espionage titles are welcome (though I’m going to need some grounding in reality).
I’m open to speculative elements, but hard sci-fi isn’t for me.
Looking for careful sentences and unorthodox perspectives.
