More awesome news coming my way... my pitch for HIGH HOPES was selected as a finalist in Shelli Johannes's Pay It Forward Pitch Contest. I just posted my full query and Shelli is going to decide next week which queries will win a three-chapter critique.
Yay!
Oh, and in case you're wondering, here's my pitch:
HIGH HOPES is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s "Northanger Abbey," but instead of going to Bath, sixteen-year-old Katie Morland takes a trip to Florida for Spring Break week where she meets Hal Tilney, a gorgeous guy who quickly wins her over with his charm and wit, and who also happens to live in one of the most haunted houses in America – the home where the events of "The Amityville Horror" took place. When Katie is invited to visit for the summer, her horror-obsessed brain goes into overdrive and she imagines ghosts and ghouls around every corner. Hal tries to explain to her that all the sinister stories about the house are just rumors, but Katie is convinced that the Amityville home is hiding a dark secret. Katie tries to find the source of her supernatural suspicions, but doesn’t know she also runs the risk of something truly scary – losing the guy she loves.
