Mini-blurb for The Iron Heart

Posted by Leslie on April 12th, 2010 | 2 Comments

Being forced to write a synopsis for The Iron Heart, has also forced me to create a mini-blurb to describe the essence of the book. I’m sure it’ll be polished again and again, but here it is now:

In a steampunk world where the wealthy have personal flying machines and clockwork automatons are on the verge of creation, a killer stalks the dark alleyways of the metropolis. Ellie Wilder won’t stop until the man who killed her cousin is captured. Bennett Pierce knows the killer intimately, but will he reveal his terrifying secret before Ellie becomes the latest victim?

Thoughts??

I think you should make the steampunk bit punchier. Then introduce Ellie and why finding her cousin’s killer matters. And then tell who Bennett is–as written, I have no clue what’s so important about him, why he would know the killer, and especially how his and Ellie’s paths would cross. Otherwise, this sounds really interesting!

Wow, thanks, Evangeline. I appreciate the feedback. In fact, I chatted with my crit partner about it and we actually brainstormed some great ideas for the book. :-)

You rock!
