And if you're a literary agent, interested in representing my work, I've got some very interesting things going on right now especially on the film side of things. I'd love to hear from a hardworking and fast responding literary agent who can help me take things to the next level—especially if they like horror set in Japan or dark comedy. Trust me, with the numerous film adaptations I have going on, you're going to want in on this.

Have a beautiful day, my friends.
