Topic: Just returned

I'm not sure how many familiar faces are still active, but I wanted to pop in to apologize for being absent for so long. Between folding my businesses, selling my home, moving cross country, divorce, a cancer diagnosis and becoming officially disabled--the last two years have been a challenge.

But, now that the dust is beginning to settle a little and I finally found someone to move my writing desk out of storage, I'm making it a point to attempt to get back in the swing of things. No new writing projects at present, but I think I'm finally ready to start editing the WIP I finished posting here a couple years ago. Could use some fresh eyes on it and have the time to swap reads.

Re: Just returned

Here's the long form query:
LISA DUNN has no way of knowing her fragile adult life is about to become far more fearful than her childhood as a habitually abused orphan. Her first clue should have been when she hears from a panicked CHERYL WHITMAN; best friend she hasn’t seen in fourteen years.

Cheryl whisks back into Lisa’s life with a nefarious tale about being sold into sexual slavery by the malevolent SISTER MARGARET—mother superior of the orphanage they formerly called home. Armed with evidence, and on the run, Cheryl asks Lisa for help.

A plan is formed to use Lisa’s job as a journalist to expose Sister Margaret and keep Cheryl safe from the thugs that mean to silence her. But conditions quickly go pear-shaped when Cheryl runs off to retrieve a piece of vital evidence on her own. Lisa gives chase only to receive the answer to an unexpected question: Are they fighting to right a terrible wrong, or are they fighting for their life?

Thrust headfirst into a world of sexual perversion and corruption that encompasses two states, one foreign country, and even the United States Senate, Lisa is forced to decide if she has the strength and emotional resilience to expose, Sister Margaret’s One Big Lie.

What's up on the site now is the rough draft. I'll post the rewrite/edit as I go if you are interested.
