The Summer I Turned…

Apparently I had this post all ready to go last summer and completely forgot to post it! So I’m restarting “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Trend for In the Mouth of the Wolf.

In the Mouth of the Wolf is my adult fantasy/romantasy novel featuring my stabby girl Rose. She’s a mediocre assassin but an excellent liar.

“Keep calling out to the dark, and the dark would keep you.”

TROPES:
đź’€Lovers to enemies
đź’€Enemies to lovers
đź’€Sunshine and grump
đź’€Shadow magic
đź’€He falls first
đź’€Questionable authority figures
đź’€Gods, give the girl a nap
đź’€Burn it to the ground

Hopefully you’ll get to meet her!

Character Introduction: Rose

Today is the summer solstice. It only seems fitting, since In the Mouth of the Wolf begins on the summer solstice and I am jumping into revisions, that I introduce it.

Rose

Eighteen-year-old Rose is the main character. She has trained for five years in the Silent Keep, a monastery devoted to the goddess of death. She’s a mediocre assassin but an excellent liar. Her control over shadows still leaves something to be desired. She wants to earn a spot as a Harvester, the Keep’s assassins. Not only that, but she longs to be assigned to a coveted position in the palace.

There are, however, a few complications.

Miranda Leiggi: Represented by Paula Weiman at ASH Literary

Author Profile from ASH Website

I am thrilled to announce that I am now represented by Paula Weiman @tinyfairyhunter at ASH Literary!
Paula’s kindness, enthusiasm, and editorial vision make me so excited to jump back into Rose’s story and the world of Istranta. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish! IN THE MOUTH OF THE WOLF is going to be something special.

Longer list of thank yous is on Twitter, but a GIANT thank you is in order to @laurarsamotin, who helped make me make this book something I am really proud of. Seriously, she’s brilliant. And she has a book out right now.

My querying journey was long. I’ll post my stats at a later date and go into a more in-depth story time, but I was definitely not one of the unicorn stories you hear about. The support of friends and perseverance helped bring me out the other side.

Querying is a hard and isolating activity. This is the second book I queried, and the difference from then to now is astounding. The landscape has changed drastically. If you’re still in the trenches, don’t give up, and take care of yourselves.
