I have 3 completed, never-been-on-submission-but-ready-to-go novels, a YA mystery, then a YA mystery with new adult/adult crossover potential, and finally, an adult speculative/paranormal mystery (my newest written novel). None of these novels have been on submission but have received a lot of industry interest.
I write YA and adult.
