I loved the book and think it works immensely well as urban fantasy/cross-genre.

The horror! When an agent pointed this out, I was like, "Oh, duh." Fortunately, the agent I ended up going with said my book was definitely UF. Thank God. Because I don't know how I'd rewrite it for the other genre. <br /><br />Sales of chocolate in your area must have skyrocketed during your revisions. :-)Sandy Williamshttp://www.sandy-williams.comnoreply@blogger.com
