POST SCARCITY
C M Osterhout is seeking representation for her novel, POST SCARCITY.
Luminous by Silvia Park meets Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia in POST SCARCITY, a LGBTQ+ literary thriller set in a city where the consequences of a food crisis, political violence, and a lost love come back to haunt Detective Vince Young.
THE GULCH
C M Osterhout is at work on her latest novel, THE GULCH.
The doomed protagonist and intertwined narrative of The Bullet Swallower by Elizabeth Gonzalez James meets Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo in THE GULCH, an exploration of queer history set in 1880s Tucson, AZ, about the ghost of a bereaved father haunting his own past and the years he spent tangled in a love affair with his brother-in-law.
THE I.S.S. PONY EXPRESS was formerly represented by Maria Bell at Sterling Lord Literistic before an amicable parting of ways.
THE I.S.S. PONY EXPRESS
The tenderness of In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune meets the space adventure of The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei in THE I.S.S. PONY EXPRESS, a grounded sci-fi following Angela Dotty and Cory Blaze, two mailmen in space, as they make deliveries and uncover a secret that puts them and the space stations they call home at risk.
