Okay, so I finished up with my latest book and now I'll begin my hunt for an agent. I don't understand why I can write a 500-600 page book and have an uber hard time writing a synopsis! (shakes my head) It doesn't make sense!
"Merchants of Evil" is a suspenseful romance story with a hint of paranormal because I've thrown in Sir Eoghan, a medieval ghost.
And as I move along with my writing I'll be pulling characters from previous stories into the new ones. Dr. Michael James makes a brief appearance in 'Merchants'. Kind of cheeky and sometimes it's hard to let go of certain characters!
Anyway, I'm very excited about it! It starts off in Chicago but then ends up in Ireland. I had so much fun with the characters Camryn and Declan that I've decided to bring them back, momentarily, into the next manuscript I'm working on called Stormy Waters.
'Stormy' is still in the infant stage but Chase Storm is a very complex character and quite the smart ass, so he's fun to write. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of housework and I'll just start chuckling to myself because I've come up with something cocky for Chase to say. The family thinks I'm losing it when they hear me laughing by myself.
Such is the life of a writer!
Off to do yard work and possibly to chuckle by myself!

Interesting story concepts. And yeah, the synopsis is the HARD part! Just consider that we write novels--deep description, intricate details--and then we have to turn around and boil the same story down to a couple of pages of synopsis. No wonder it's not easy. But I will say, it's a knack you develop and it gets easier.
