Jamie Wyman (JLWyman on QT) has signed with agent Jennie Goloboy of Donald Maass Literary Agency.
Dear Mr./Ms. Agent,
In the Las Vegas of technomancer Catherine Sharp, gods gamble with souls of unassuming humans. Eight years ago, Catherine's soul fell into the possession of Eris, the Greek goddess of Discord. Since then she has been working a dead end technical support job while performing random tasks for the goddess. When Coyote, the Native American trickster, claims to have won her soul in Mayhem's weekly poker game, Catherine must get in on the action if she wants to be free. This won't be easy with five trickster gods upping the ante. Along for the ride is Marius, an insatiable satyr with his own debt to Eris. If they play their cards right, Cat and Marius may get their lives back. Assuming they don't kill each other first.
At 82,000 words, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES blends myth and magic with the modern world. Fans of the genre will appreciate the strong, intelligent yet flawed heroine as well as the snarky wit reminiscent of Christopher Moore's COYOTE BLUE. Sequels and companion short stories are in varying stages of production.
While this would mark my publishing debut, I was fortunate enough to be included in eBookNewser's "Best Online Fiction Authors" list in May of 2011 for my flash fiction piece "Eat. Prey. Love."
If you are interested in learning more about Catherine and her misadventures, the full manuscript is available on a non-exclusive basis.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
