Work in Progress: Apex Predator

I'm continuing my search for the right agent and publisher for my next novel, Apex Predator.  Apex was born from my love of "creature" novels and my noticing that such novels (with a few praiseworthy exceptions) handwave the science and consider most characters "monster chow." Apex is about the human drama surrounding the discovery of a spectacular and dangerous (not to mention endangered)  prehistoric predator, Dunkleosteus terrelli, in a remote Alaskan lake. The story offers accurate science and explores the deadly clash of interests that would accompany something so historic and potentially lucrative.
