I am seeking representation for my young adult historical novel, tentatively titled Libby Morgan: Reunion, which follows a young American girl as she learns the story of her family through old letters and the camaraderie of quilting with her grandmother. I currently work as an associate for a private southern California quilt historian/collector/author and am currently writing book two in the Libby Morgan series. I am also working on the illustrated quilt pattern books that accompanies this series.

Professionally edited, finishing at 97,767 words, Libby Morgan: Reunion is similar to the popular quilt-related stories by Jennifer Chiaverini coupled with historical fiction like that of Ann Rinaldi. This is the first in a series of six books for the young adult audience which chronologically follows Libby and her descendants through major U.S. historical events.
