Per your request, I have enclosed a synopsis and first three chapters of Murder on the Rocks, and 80,000-word cozy mystery that was a finalist in this year’s Writers’ League of Texas manuscript contest and includes several bed-and-breakfast recipes. We met during the final pitch session and discussed how the series I am working on might fit in with your current line of mystery series. As I mentioned, I have had my eye on BookEnds for quite some time when I discovered you would be at the conference, I knew I had to attend.
I enjoyed meeting you at the conference in Austin this past weekend. I’m thrilled to be working with Karen and so excited that the letter below is what launched it all. Karen’s most recent titles in each series include Murder Most Maine and On the Prowl. She’s been the author of two very different series, The Gray Whale Inn bed-and-breakfast cozy mysteries published with Midnight Ink and her fabulous paranormal romance series, Tales of an Urban Werewolf, with Ballantine. Karen has had quite a career since signing with BookEnds in 2004.
So I’m hoping to do a series based on the queries of my clients. I've got a new paranormal series in the works, too.I’ve been asked by readers if I would consider posting the original query letters some of my clients sent and critique them-in other words, explain what in the letter attracted me to the work and how that would work for me today, if it would at all. Tales of an Urban Werewolf Box Set is also available!
