When you’ve signed up to your first adult ballet class in 8 years… your ballet shoes are crackling and you ditched your 22 y/o leotard a few years back, and now you’ve got to improvise an outfit 😅
(Also, I don’t know what they make ballet tights out of but they’d survive a nuclear armageddon)

Okay, I need help…
A friend, whose opinion I trust, has read my book and encouraged me to submit to agents. Because it’s military SF he’s suggested I look in the US.
BUT I know nothing about US agents and his recs aren’t accepting subs right now. Does anybody have any recs for good US SF agents?

So that’s me being gently told “I’m about to go on important calls…” by my spouse… because I was singing Golden with my headphones on loud enough to carry up the stairs through two closed doors 😅🫣
