I don’t know about you, but I love the movie Ladyhawke. I first saw it in school in fifth grade, and I thought it was so romantic (even if it did have Ferris Bueller affecting a rather unfortunate period accent). Michelle Pfeiffer as Isabeau, the tragically enchanted lady/hawk, and Rutger Hauer as her long suffering black knight luvah…
So exciting. So when I saw this recent deal posted at Publisher’s Marketplace:
Title: THE SHADOW AND THE FLAME
Author: Lisa Hendrix
Agent: Helen Breitwieser at Cornerstone Literary
Editor: Kate Seaver at Berkley
Blurb: A Viking warrior who is cursed by a witch to live as an eagle by day and a man by night reluctantly takes a bride.
I was thrilled.
Lisa Hendrix, wherever you are out there, if you’re looking for a home for an ARC, I’m here for you, baby.
UPDATE: Comments are on. Stupid mouse, clicking all kinds of things I didn’t want to. At this rate, how is Lisa ever going to contact me?

I happen to know that agent. I’ll see what I can do on that ARC!

Heh. Used WritingML tags (used on Writing.com) instead of HTML… *blush*
Just showing no one is perfect. LOL

Yay for comments being turned on. I loved Ladyhawke so much as a kid… this book sounds right up my alley.
Hmm… I wonder what ritual I need to perform to become fast friends with Julie so I can finagle an ARC, too. Hehe

Of course I loved Ladyhawke. Medieval (ish), legends, tragedy, romance…and a wee bit of comedy. Who wouldn’t?

Embarrassed to say I never saw Ladyhawke. I meant to. I really did.

Mary - Please!!!
Don’t condemn all of us. I like to maintain a sophisticated perfection that is so perfect, no one else can even comprehend.

I haven’t thought about that movie in years! My little brother used to watch it so much he could repeat the lines word for word. I hope Lisa finds you!

I hope you get an ARC.

That’s one of my favourite movies, too. Although I was somewhat older when I saw it.
