ADULT – Historical Fiction / Mystery (99k, complete)
Set against the backdrop of a real World War II-era expedition to Antarctica, a young man crosses oceans for his country, and ultimately to find his father. Part con, part character study, follow a son’s journey through ice, deception and the complicated distances we put between ourselves and the people we love.
Status: Unagented, revising draft 3
Last book I loved: Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros
Book that epitomizes me as a reader: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon or any memoir
Looking for: 2-3 partners comfortable with early drafts who want big-picture feedback on pacing, character, and historical grounding. Happy to read historical, mystery, literary, or adjacent genres.
