I write middle grade fiction and have published two historical fiction novels, Magic By Moonlight and Be Careful What You Wish For by D. L. Cocchio. Both can be seen on my website: http://www.dlcocchio.webs.com. I am a member of SCBWI and IWWG, two writer's organizations. Currently, I am writing my first cross-over YA paranormal novel, Souls Entwined. I'm looking for an agent to represent me. That's it in a nutshell!
