Queries are out!

I have been diligently working on sending out several queries to different literary agencies. Each agency has different requirements on what they are asking for wether it be a chapter synopsis, a sample chapter, or what they would like in their cover letter so I can't just cut and paste all the info into each email. I am hoping that I will get a positive reply. I understand that this will take time. If I don't make time to send out queries then I can't expect to get replies!

I will stay positive as I make my way through this endeavor and I know my hard work will pay off.

Stay tuned... I'll post an update after this weekend to see how many I can get sent out.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day, and remember that our freedom isn't free. We owe it to our soldiers!

First Query Letter has been sent!

BLUE SKY EXPOSURE (approximately 88,000 words) is waiting to take you on a thrill ride of curiosity. Each chapter is designed to change point of views among the characters so you can see the story from all points of view. BLUE SKY EXPOSURE is written for the genre of Murder/Thriller. You should be afraid; everyone else is.

The Craybell Institute of the Mentally Impaired is located in Rolling Hills, Indiana. There they subdued Robert Dorgan, but he escaped. Now his name is spoken with fear. On a quest for revenge he carries an advantage that was gifted to him unwillingly. See for yourself through his eyes, what he is going through with his newly found ability of Extrasensory Perception. The blue sky exposure he wants is freedom; it is at his fingertips but always out of reach. Through murderous ploys, he plans his vengeance against them all. You will be able to see inside Robert's mind and decide for yourself if he really is mad.

I would be honored to have you as my agent because...(my secret information I cannot share ....)

My passion with my writing career is stronger than ever as my credentials show my hard work. My novel, A Castle Inside, a Romance introduced in October of 2009, was my first published work. I am currently a co-editor and a representative of distributing A Collection of Short Stories by the Roadrunner Writers Club with expected publication date of June, 2010 with an ISBN number already assigned. I also am a confirmed winner and participant of National Novel Writing Month, www.nanowrimo.org, for the past 3 years and I am looking forward to this November to participate a fourth time. I was publicized in the Garden City, Michigan Hometown Observer & Eccentric Newspaper with a press release on November 8, 2009 premiering A Castle Inside. I have also starred as a guest speaker for the DHCT (Dearborn Heights Civic Television), on their show How-To. My episode was featured as How-To Self-Publish, which is still currently being aired on civic television in Dearborn Heights, Michigan.

BLUE SKY EXPOSURE is finished and available in full manuscript upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.
