Open Promo Day - Give Us your Elevator Pitches
Since I'm busy on my WIP again, I thought up an easy blog for today, which may be of interest to many of you. Instead of my writing a bunch of stuff, here's your chance to provide an elevator pitch of one of your books, either already out or to be released. Pretend you're talking to an editor or agent, so make it short, and don't cheat and talk about more than one. Embed your buy link and leave your blog and/or website, so people know where to find out more about you and maybe buy your book!

Here's my pitch for my new women's fiction novel, Unconditional.
ReplyDeleteWhen the highlight of her week is crashing a funeral for a cathartic cry, Meg Flores admits her life is a mess. She is a psychotherapist, after all, and casket chasing is not healthy. Her husband determines he is gay and requests a divorce. Meg moves in with her sister and then learns she is pregnant. And she tries to convince her snowbird parents in Florida that her life is just peachy. She might be safe for a while in her little white lie. At least until her mother’s radar kicks in.
But when Meg’s recently-exed-husband, Thomas, is diagnosed with terminal cancer and his boyfriend takes off, Meg has to decide if she can move past Thomas’s betrayal and love him ‘til-death-do-us-part’.
