Here's mine...<br /><br />Set in the pristine beauty of the mountains in southwestern Wyoming, this 90,000 word novel has it all; a pregnant teenager, a shotgun wedding, hunting, brawls, and a budding romance. While hunting on an early October day, Mark Neild interrupts a drunken onslaught and saves Abe Penderton from a horrible fate. Their lives intertwine as they are catapulted into a series of events that would be too much for each of them to handle alone. Mark strives to help Abe and in return is given the little push to happiness he didn’t know he needed.<br /><br />cropsofmemories@yahoo.comStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04579304500423018039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-37031432955273437562012-01-17T21:15:12.469-07:002012-01-17T21:15:12.469-07:00How can you pass up such a great prize? Here's...How can you pass up such a great prize? Here's my query sentences!<br /><br />Kendra's uncle is trying to kill her. In a world where Hunters and Witches are mortal enemies, Kendra is an impossibility: the daughter of both, and her uncle will stop at nothing to annihilate such an abomination. Forced to stay on the run to save her own life, Kendra meets werewolves, the demon familiar she never knew she had, a Master Alchemist and his apprentice, and a blue-eyed soldier she can't help falling for despite the risks, but she'll also have an ancient evil to confront who wants to steal her magic-killing her in the process-as much as her uncle wants her dead.Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062119939910770114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-69976443006168708212012-01-17T21:00:22.881-07:002012-01-17T21:00:22.881-07:00Gabe de la Cruz takes seventeen-year-old Ellie Cum...Gabe de la Cruz takes seventeen-year-old Ellie Cummings down to his basement and shows her the huaca, a ritualistic artifact passed down from his Inca ancestors.

Pitch:
...This is so exciting! Thanks MMW and Elana!<br />Pitch:<br />Since the beginning, prophets on Ryen’s home planet of Zhimeya have foretold of a mythic figure- a Savior- who would sacrifice himself to redeem mankind. There was just one catch. He would be born on a different planet, far away. When Ryen and his team’s search for evidence of the Savior brings them to Earth, they are thrust into the middle of a plot that puts not only Earth, but their own crumbling world, in grave danger.<br /><br />3.

He's seen his dad grab a sword and charge through the closet door, he's seen his mom disappear in there with cases full of computer equipment, but all they've told him is that if anyone else finds out about their closet they'll have to move away.
