SANDMAN X LUCIFER X HELLBOY

What if God was dying? What if the only one who could save him was destined to be his murderer? Called up from Hell by God to perform a grisly task, Lucifer must fulfill his destiny, or all is lost.

@weaverliterary Congratulations!

[James Gray @JGModernPeasant]

@rndmsarkar @Rhian_at_Birch That appears to be right around the sweet spot, according to agents I have spoken with

When a king fires his jester, he, himself, often dons the fool's crown.

Have Demons & Angels been overdone in Fantasy Literature? I am hoping to find an agent for my Dark Fantasy/Horror novel, but most I find tend to be anti-that particular genre.

The hunt continues.

Hey, X, it's been a lot, hasn't it? We've been through a lot.

[James Gray @JGModernPeasant]

@HLCarter_Author Best wishes to you and sending healing, strength, and all of the positivity, validation, and creative genius I can spare.

[James Gray @JGModernPeasant]

@alectranews Thank you for your continued efforts during this unprecedented and difficult time. As someone who lives d/t, looking forward to the return of our power at Dunlop ST E/Mulcaster

@allenanalysis I guess one of the big questions I have to ask is, "Why out yourself like this?" You made the unfortunately misguided decision to vote the way you did and are now paying for it. Why would ANYONR want to drag themselves on the internet?

Regarding the @MikeTyson vs @jakepaul fight tonight on @netflix: If Mike Tyson loses, it is a scripted event. If it is scripted, it isn't worth the money paid or the reputations lost or gained. If it is scripted, I hope Tyson forgets.

[James Gray @JGModernPeasant]

@CoTexican Sadly, yes, a move on. The interest is only part, because they can still pass on the story proper. No fear, though, this was a great experience and more to come I am sure! Agents are very subjective and particular with what they like and want to represent. You will find your fit.

[James Gray @JGModernPeasant]

@SuzyLWrites Big trad pub is a fickle beast, for certain. I have been learning that with my own journey, both in querying and in my interactions with agents and other industry professionals. Everything is subjective, and yet none of us know for sure if we have "The One" until someone says so.

[James Gray @JGModernPeasant]

Watched #DeadpoolAndWolverine today, and it quite honestly renewed my faith in the #mcu . This boisterous #buddycop #dramactedy hit every note and smashed the ivories in all the right places. Well done to @VancityReynolds, @RealHughJackman, & the whole team for a job well done

[James Gray @JGModernPeasant]

@TEWWriting Cheers and thanks so much!
