Summary:

In the semi-small town of Cedar Creek, some people don’t care to lock their doors, even though the woods hold secrets and the children are terrified to venture into them. The warm sense of security is shattered for Majesty Alistair, a feisty but grief-stricken teen, when she uncovers a mass murder plot deep in the thick. She struggles to find and defeat the would-be-killers before they act, but they have an agenda far bigger than she ever assumed. Violence rocks the town, leaving residents reeling and drawing Majesty into the middle of it all. With danger always pressing, police seemingly getting nowhere and those closest to her looking guilty, she continues hunting and charges into an evil web, but the truth and her actions threaten to haunt her forever, especially since she’s left with blood on her hands, the blood of someone she loves.

I'm a local expert on narcotrafficking: we've personally known dozens of drug lords and many who work in their fiefdoms, as well as DEA agents. I'm asked occasionally to write articles for blogs from my experience working with coffee and how narcotrafficking has affected our lives and work. Thought I'd post this new article I just wrote. All the statistics and facts are true--believe it or not.

Here is my (crappy) query. Obviously not ready to send to agents, but enough to give y'all a sense of what my ms is about: One by one, the Shepherd is collecting lambs and sacrificing them up to the heavens. His temple is slowly filling with the blood of his sheep. It is with these offerings that he is trying to gain favor with the Lord he has disappointed in the past. Everything is falling into place. His flock is growing. He is getting stronger and closer to achieving spiritual fulfillment. But something has changed. The house next door, vacant for the past ten years, is now occupied. A strange but beautiful new neighbor has moved into his quiet neighborhood, complicating his plans and putting his life’s mission on hold. She is a distraction. And yet, feelings are being stirred within him that he thought had died years ago. He is torn between letting her help forget his pain to embrace a new life, or letting the fever inside him take over. -Hello! I am new to this site and happy to be a part of a new writing community. I've been working on this novel for almost two years and hope it's close to being ready for query. Looking forward to all you eagle eyed critters giving my ms your once over. Thanks!

My muse has been gone since last October. This is my attempt to win her back. I have NO IDEA where this story came from. It is not pretty. There are no heroes. It is extemporaneous, stream of consciousness. I have not tried to edit it in any way. I'm just putting it out there because I know that it should generate a response in those who read it, and I'm open to whatever gets said.

Here I try to make some kind of rationale of a story I read in the Headlines. News papers say so little. I post this story through a Proxy, but so many people on this site have set a poetic fire under me. You are missed immensely. I hope I don't disappoint. For many this might be a difficult story to read. I hope the deeper meaning is felt. I wish you all the best Summer you've ever experienced.

Summary:

Warning: this novel has at least four levels, is full of sex and violence, and is very fast paced. The Well of Women is at risk, as is the Tourney which Rhiannon wishes to use for pride and peace. But there are riots against offworlders, who the people blame for the rash of mother hate that is spreading through the land. And there is the mysterious Maelan--supposed guardian of the Well, whose malfunction may explain the evil that is afoot.
