Chapter 1 of The Golden Lynx has just been published in The Lyon Review, the online literary magazine for Mount Holyoke College alumnae and faculty.

The review has offered to publish another excerpt in a few months. Stay tuned.

If you like what you read and want to see more, you can find the prologue to the series here.

And if you hate it, spare my feelings, please, and let me live in happy ignorance.
Let's hope this gets me an agent....
Best,
Marguerite

YEAY! Congrats!!

No comments, as I've not read it yet. But I've bookmarked the site!

Thanks for sharing,
Orren

Congratulations M (or should I say CP or CJ—I must confess that I like CJ).

Loved chapter 1 (here) and anxiously awaiting the others (and the hardcover collection).

As I finished chapter one, no bolt of lightning sizzled the sky. No pillar of fire descended from above. No lynx raked claws across my shoulders. And the ancestors did nothing to avenge slain Storyists. But I think I smell a winner.

Best Translation by a Woman?

I tend to think CPL or CJP, but M is my favorite.

The Association for Women in Slavic Studies issues the Heldt Prize: hence its rather 1970s focus. Men do qualify for some of the prizes, so long as they are writing about Slavic women.

I appreciate your support, Thoth and Orren. Thanks!

The first chapter of the first volume of a five-part series. Can't wait to see the rest published.

Congratulations M!

Thanks, Steve.

I suppose I could have written the book without Storyist, but it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun.
Checking my sections for conflict and purpose, character development, and plot points!
