Dust it off Bloghop


So, this is a super cool idea!  Courtney Pearson has set up this fantastic bloghop to get us to look back at shelved manuscripts.  Since I have several, it's kind of hard to choose, but I think I have chosen.  For the first day of the hop, we're supposed to post our pitch.  So here's my pitch for my shelved novel (and ABNA semifinalist in 2010) Assignment 9.

Serially abandoned as a child, Casey struggles with relationships until she meets the equally damaged Mark in her creative writing class. An autobiography assignment leads her to acknowledge the roots of her fears and gives her the strength to let him into her life.

Tune in on the 5th for a sample from the MS.


And thank you to everyone who made suggestions about what I should post on in the future.  I will cover all those topics, and more, very soon!

  2. This definitely sounds like something I'd read. I like damaged people... in fiction.

  3. This sounds great. The only thing that made me pause was the word "serially" but I know what you mean and don't know how to reword that concept.

  8. A damaged boy and an equally damaged girl is my type of book. Throw in the autobiography assignment and I am sold. Great concept, can't wait to read your excerpt.
