Want to see my query that won me my first book deal? Well, here it is!
To save her younger sisters from being taken to the cruel life of the palace, Naomi intervenes and gives herself to be a wife of the erratic Pharaoh. She is the oldest daughter of the direct line of Israel, and as her father's favorite child, she is well-educated and knows she is the closest thing her people have to a princess.
In the palace, Naomi finds herself thrust into the intrigues of the royal family. She is savvy and bright, so the Great Queen Nefertiti perceives Naomi to be her greatest threat. But Naomi refuses to submit to Nefertiti’s physical and emotional abuse. Naomi becomes beloved by the Pharaoh, who declares that she will bear him his heir. Nefertiti, furious with jealousy, schemes to destroy Naomi and even brings her fidelity into question, which could cost Naomi her very life.
Naomi must play the deadly game carefully. She is in a silent battle of wills, and a struggle for who will one day inherit the crown. And when she does bear an heir, she must fight to protect him as well as herself from Nefertiti who is out for blood.
Yayyy! Son of a Pitch is back!

I'm torn between entries, so I will post links to both, but since they are so different, I'll post the genre & anyone willing to take a look at either can choose the genre that appeals to them more. I do plan on hitting up as many folks as I can with feedback, but will do at least six.
ReplyDeleteGenre: YA Dark Fantasy/Horror

ReplyDeleteI have a question. Have read in several comments that "bio and comps are not allowed" - can someone point me to the rules so I don't mess up any more than I already have
