Christine Feehan:
I'm a novice writer with a UC, Riverside MFA, and a novel-writing certificate from Stanford. I have a nine novel series of historical fiction, set in the Caribbean and Africa, tracing the ethnogenesis and history of the last indigenous people in the Caribbean to resist European imperialism, the Black Caribs of St. Vincent Island. My issue is finding an agent who will represent this type of story. Suggestions?
Christine Feehan
I have no idea what to do to find an agent as a new writer. I'm established, so my experience will differ from yours.
Maybe look into finding a local writer's group or joining a writer's organization to get help?
You'd want to find someone who is familiar with the type of book you write. I write paranormal romance which is vastly different from what you write.
Best of luck on your journey!

How do you begin doing research for the books you write? I have read all of the Dark Series books and some of the Leopard series and all the knowledge you put in the books always has me thinking, 'how does she even know where to start looking up facts for these amazing books?'
