A nice, positive rejection yesterday has generated renewed energy in sending out queries. As my confidants continually point out, I am still in the early days of my selling Grace campaign.
GRACE AT WAR, an 70,000-word literary/mainstream novel, takes place during the explosive summer of 1970, when sixteen-year-old Grace Hart, traumatized by her boyfriend’s suicide, emulates the locked-down emotions of her combat-veteran brother, Worth. Their quest to make peace with their shattering memories and losses takes them from upstate New York to Long Island and eventually into the north woods where Grace must face their differences in order to save Worth and herself.
Brother War
Home he came Kicked down the door Swore his name Was Brother War.
Day and night He begged for more, “Light, oh, light,” Cried Brother War.
Horrors cease Deaths haunt no more. Sister Peace Saves Brother War.
Keep your readers posted on the query saga. Crank 'em out!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ben!
ReplyDeleteIn the question of queries, more is really more!! None of this minimalist nonsense. Lug those envelopes to the mailbox. NOW! (easy for me to say!)
