I am pitching three (yes, three) of my manuscripts on there today. The Girlfriend Request, Summer of Hope, and Summer of Secrets.
Queries for each can be found after the jump for anyone interested!
THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST
One click.
That's all it will take for sixteen-year-old Emma to get the boy next door, her
longtime crush and confidante. But when her interwebs of lies lead to a catfish
fiasco, she has to decide if losing his friendship is worth the bait.
Emma and Eli have been friends from the first day she moved into her new neighborhood, when he shared his treasured
Gobstoppers and cute smile with her.
After ten years of crushing on him in silence, she finally has a plan to
make
him realize she is more than just buddy material. Like, way more. Even though her best friend thinks she's headed for a train wreck, Emma is
convinced that creating a fake Facebook profile to lure Eli in will be the perfect
solution to her problem. Wrong.
As the whole scheme begins to blow up in
her
face, Emma finds herself with a college guy competing for her attention,
the school Queenie out for blood, and is no closer to getting the guy.
The way things are going, she runs
the risk of not only losing her shot at girlfriend status, but Eli's
friendship
as well. Emma must choose if she is willing to do what is right, even if
it
means she may have to throw back her chance at love.
Complete at 62,000 words, THE GIRLFRIEND REQUEST is a YA Contemporary novel
that would appeal to those who enjoy reading Stephanie Perkins or Sarah Dessen. I
have my B.S. in Secondary Education – English from Penn State University, and
am currently pursuing my M.S. in Mental Health Counseling. My work has been
published in “Everywhere” magazine and I was a contracted “Featured
Storyteller” for StoryofMyLife.com; where I interviewed and wrote about various
people in music, business, sports, and more. I live in a barely there blip of a town with my teenage daughter. SUMMER OF HOPE

SUMMER OF SECRETS
Summer following junior year is supposed to be a
time for carefree fun with friends. Except Shay’s best friends have become the pills
she hides in a Midol bottle and the razors she keeps in her nightstand drawer.
Until
the night at the boardwalk when Shay reconnects with the one guy that just
might be different from the rest of the party crew
around her. With his amazing eyes and sexy smile, Zane is genuine
in a way she has never known, and he makes Shay almost believe that she's as
perfect as she pretends to be. In just a few weeks' time, Shay finds herself
baring more and more of her secrets to the one person who seems like he truly
cares.
