You’ve decided to take your children to PAX Unplugged. Congratulations!
PAX Unplugged is my PAX: this year will be my fifth visit. And each year, I’ve taken my son, from when he was about negative three weeks old still in my wife’s belly to last year. We’ve only missed the forbidden year and the year the vaccines weren’t available for kids. We’ve learned a lot about what works each trip. We’ve also learned what has not, my son teaching me these lessons with his “big feelings”. (And for the first time, this year we’re taking two kids. Let the learning continue!)

Three chapters and nine thousand words into The Eye of Fury, the next Éo book, and it's starting to feel like I'm writing again.
While anyone is always free to read anything they see, please enjoy this post if you’re ok with potentially spoiling a book you may never read. For example, if you’re an agent looking for a new work.
See below for an open query letter for my novel The Skeptic. It should be obvious, but just in case: spoiler alerts ahead.
If you are an agent, or know an agent, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail below. I’d be thrilled to have a further discussion, even if it’s just advice for how to improve, or a hot tip on who might be interested.
The Skeptic is my first finished novel. I loved the book so much I essentially wrote it twice: the first draft being so bad that I rewrote probably eighty percent of the book. I’m currently in the process of finding a publisher, which might be harder than writing the damned well-loved and cherished thing to begin with.
