Adult Women's Thriller.
Q: February 25, 2025
PR: April 16, 2025
Reached out in August 2025 to say she is really sorry and behind on queries but will respond by the end of the summer.

September 2025 reached out saying she is still behind and wants tor read my work but she doesn't know when she will be able to get to it, so she wants to give me the option to query other agents at her agency but if I leave my manuscript with her she will promise to answer and to read it before she opens queries again.
