Lexa Cain lives a stone’s throw (if you throw it really hard) from the beautiful beaches and turquoise waters of the Red Sea. When Élan discovers the Soul Cutter is no scam, she finds herself locked in a deadly battle against a supernatural killer with more than her mother’s life at stake. Élan's only ally is Ramsey, a film-crew intern, but he’s arrogant, stubborn-and hiding dangerous secrets. When a hotel guest is killed, whispers start-the locals think their legendary Soul Cutter has come back from the dead. In Egypt, the superstitious film crew sucks at finding her mom. When her estranged mother disappears from a film shoot in Egypt, Élan puts her medium-busting activities on hold and joins the search. Skepticism makes life safe-all the ghosts Élan encounters are fakes. Seventeen-year-old Élan spends her free time videoing psychic scams and outing them online. Keep believing your agent is out there and keep trying! Some writers rack up 100 or 200 rejections before getting an offer. An agent closed to subs may open again when you least expect it.

Read agent tweets and blog posts for wish lists and special submission times. (That’s how I found my agent - she had left an agency and started her own.) That gives your writing a better chance to impress them.ĭuring months of requests (Yay!) and rejections (Boo!), keep checking the lists. One of the good things about UK agents is they generally want you to submit the first three chapters rather than just five-to-ten pages. Find them by googling and searching every agent list, including Preditors & Editors. Most sites with agent lists only cover US agents, but there are lots of UK and even a few international agents to choose from. During that time, I learned a few things. I got my agent through sheer determination and the refusal to give up.
