My Novel Pitch:

My Novel Trailer: 

Kent Reagan is heir to the pastorate of Faith Deliverance Ministries.  Because of Kent’s growing popularity amongst the congregation, megalomaniac interim pastor, Levi Morgan, struggles to maintain control of the cult. Kent begins discovering the sinister secrets of the leaders he idolizes.   To prove his worthiness for cult leadership, Kent must pass the Tests of the Tempted before progressing.  Each of these tests is a matter of life or death for all involved.  The future rests in his ability to live up to his birth prophecy voiced by Violet Calhoun, the deviant mistress.  Kent’s innate passion threatens to derail his best intentions and sear his battered conscience.  He realizes the Test of Thrice Tempted was rigged.  His lover betrays him.  There’s only one way out…or so he thinks.

September 18, 2011 - The Storyboard -  Have you ever wondered how an author plots a story?  This is my storyboard for Twice Tempted.  It looks like a menagerie of colors, but each post-it note refers to a character, a scene, an emotion, or location.  Each rectangle of the grid stands for a scene in the book.  Since Book One: Playing God, I have streamlined this process.  I have also created a portable plotting board instead of denigrating our apartment wall with masking tape and glittery stickers.  My hubby appreciated this adjustment.

Readers:  Are you fascinated by the novel writing process, or would you rather just read the finished product?  What about a book compels you to read it? (Examples:  blurbs, synopsis, log line, cover art, the author’s reputation, friend’s recommendation, etc.)
