Book Proposal
WORKING TITLE: The Murder of Owen Knight (Book 1 of the Starreville Series)
THEMES: Dealing with hard times, growth, love, friendship, and self-awareness.
LENGTH: Approx. 82,000 words * 26 chapters
HOW DIFFERS: This book has a little bit of everything in it. You get to know all of the characters and see how they can get out of bed every day. You never quite know what to expect with a new surprise around every corner. The characters are what make this book so endearing because we can all identify with them. In the process of the characters growing, we grow while we read the story.
MARKET: Church, chapel, and internet (including two blogs and Twitter).
BIO: Married without 2-legged children, but have a Beagle. Work full time as a novelist. Have two blogs that I try to keep up with daily. Addicted to coffee, tea, counting-calories, and exercise. Avid reader.
AVAILABILITY: Available immediately via disc or emailed in Word 97-2003 or Word 2007.
SUMMARY: Leslie and her husband move to a small town when he becomes the pastor of a local church. Leslie joins a writing group that just formed and they determine that they all want to be novelists. They’re all from different walks of life. Once strangers at the beginning, they become family quite rapidly. Through writing, they are stretched and mature.

However, they also learn how real life can be stranger than fiction when they start to be stalked by those who want to murder them. There are elements of: drama, romance, a thriller, and mystery surrounding the novel. The twelve writers, along with their families, are fabulous people we can all identify with and learn from regarding the lessons of life.
