Here's what happens when you revise a novel for the seventh time. You get a renewed focus that helps you write a much better query letter than you've been able to up to this point.
Let me know what you think:
What if the sixth day dawned, but the work was never
finished?
What if the Earth, populated with beasts of the field, fowls
of the air, all manner of creeping things both in the water and above, never
saw the arrival of Man?
Who would rule? And who would partake of the forbidden
fruit?
Doleful Creatures is that story – after the sixth day closed.
Follow Jarrod the magpie and Aloysius the badger, enemies in
the flesh who were once friends, descendants of the foes of The Lady. The Lady
who tried to stop the completion of the sixth day to spare animals the dominion
of men, and who seeks even now to turn the clock back even if it means
enslaving the creatures she loves. Fight with Jarrod and Aloysius as they try
to repair their friendship and as they fight the bitterness, despair, and the death
their friendship brought to the world of the wood just outside Purdy Farm.
Search with them as they attempt to find the secret to unlocking the conclusion
of the sixth day before The Lady discovers it and brings slavery to the world
of animals and destruction to the world of men.
Then wait to see if the seventh day dawns, when all may find
rest.
Doleful Creatures is a complete young adult fantasy novel of
90,000 words, written in the vein of Robert C. O’Brien and Walter Wangerin Jr.
I would be pleased to offer you sample chapters, or the entire manuscript, for
your consideration.
