Summary:

Darci Shelton gives herself just one year to make her new flower shop a success, but she must come to terms with the shop's resident ghost while struggling to put Petal Pushers in the black. This full-length book is broken into twelve chapters, one for each month, with stories about her customers woven in. Some chapters were longer than 5k so I had to post them as continuations. Darci's plant profiles at the end of each chapter contain things that will tie into the novel and give some extra info about some of the lesser characters. Plus I thought this would give the readers interested in flowers a little bonus. Any and all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. NOTE: The heart of this story is the same, but I just revised it to add the POV of the Ghost Lady (updating chapters here today). She promised to haunt me until I let the readers hear what she had to say, so I think you'll enjoy it.

Some of this story will be familiar to those who read fall From Grace. I'm going to try my hand at suspenseful romance or commercial fiction so the emphasis has switched to Grace being a single working physician who meets, of course, Dr. Right a few chapters down the road... Anyway, it's just an experiment to write in a different genre... It begins in a federal medical center - a psychiatric hospital for mentally ill inmates... Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Summary:

Ainsley Benton may have finally found her place in this world, and it's with the freaks. Ainsley has sensory experiences that are not her own. Now the FBI wants this art teacher from Podunk to join their freak squad and use her powers to help catch bad guys. Ainsley soon finds out that sometimes the bad guys aren’t terrorists or Mafioso; sometimes the bad guys are major corporations embarking on a social engineering conspiracy aimed at our nation’s children… NEW READERS: I've just added some chapters between old chapters, so from chapter 6 on, old reviews won't make sense & might contain spoilers. As for your help: Aside from the usual, I would love help in making sure the FBI stuff is semi-realistic, also anything in [brackets] is something I’m unsure of & would welcome input on. I'm thinking this is a paranormal thriller - what do you think?

Summary:

Hailey and David are back! It's their first year of college and there are some big changes in Hailey's life. Josh Sawyer, the rock and roll father who abandoned her, has shown up to be in her life. Her former best friend is back to herself again, but not exactly the way Hailey had hoped. And although she knows she loves David, her new chemistry lab partner Noah is just as charming and insistent as David was. I put this in 'commercial fiction' because i think of young adult as high school age. This is the very first draft, so i know it'll need work.

NOTE: Sorry for the confusion about the title. I decided to go back with the original title (the one I had before posting here on tNBW). I think it suits the trilogy better.

SUMMARY:

Is being psychic a gift? For Mackenzie it's a curse--especially when that "gift" delivers her into the hands of a serial killer.

When Mackenzie Hill discovers her mother’s colossal deception, she tosses her life down the garbage disposal and relocates to Watcher's Point, Oregon in search of answers. What she finds is shocking; the man she's been dreaming about for years not only exists in the flesh, but he's got a secret agenda of his own.

Aidan Payne doesn’t expect to get emotionally involved with anyone, least of all a woman who looks at him with disturbing insight. As a serial killer escalates his twisted game, Aidan’s protective instincts take over and sparks begin to ignite. Both realize that if the killer isn't caught, Mackenzie might become the next victim. But neither could have foreseen the web of lies spanning three decades—lies which paved the way for the wrath of a serial killer.

I have three minutes apiece to pitch-slam agents about my novel, Client Relations, this Saturday afternoon. That means roughly 15-30 seconds to sell the story concept to an agent after I get asked, "What's your book about?" I've come up with the following short short short spoken pitch. I'm assuming (hoping) that once I make the opening pitch -- I'll be talking, not handing a document to an agent to read, like a query letter -- I may have the opportunity to go into slightly more detail to really "sell it." Assuming I've piqued the interest of the agent, that is. So... If you've read any of my chapters, please let me know if you think this works. And if you haven't, does this pitch make you want to read the book? Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated!! Thank youuuuuuu!!!

Summary:

This is loosely based on the story, Thumbelina by Hans Christian Andersen, in response to a challenge in the writing forum. Thanks to those who read earlier versions and provided wonderful feedback. Do the 1st and 2nd parts seem to be more closely linked? (The executive and her partner/the scene with the gypsy fortune teller and later Minuette's abduction by the Ugly Toad?)
