From the Review: "I wasn’t ready for a pandemic book just yet. But Running to Fall isn’t just a pandemic book, though it opens in March of 2021, and the pandemic plays a role in the book. It’s not just a murder mystery either, though it begins with the discovery of the body of a missing young Black woman, Raven McCoy, floating in Chicago’s Grayson River, near the affluent gated community of Grayson Glens. Like one of Buckhanon’s early novels, Upstate, which I loved, there’s so much more going on than the bare bones of the plot. With prose so incisive and knowing, you feel the meaning of the words as much as you understand it, Buckhanon can infuse a mystery tale with strands of isolation, addiction, secrets, and women we allow to be forgotten, and it’s riveting." —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor

I sent a Query letter by snail mail as was requested but it was returned to me as undeliverable? Is this agency still in business and if so what is the correct mailing address? I have a creative non-fiction I wish to submit. [email protected]
