Dear ______________,
What’s a girl to do when she finds out her new best friend is a ghost and the guy she’s falling for is really her teacher?
SHADOW GIRL is a modern day paranormal romance for teens set in Massachusetts. It is the first book in a proposed series and is complete at a 64,000 words.
Cora Reilly is not your normal seventeen year old. Despite her kind demeanor, keen intelligence and striking appearance, she’s a social leper. People avoid her at all costs, seeming to dread being in her presence. She unwillingly gives off a vibe that frightens, her unusual violet eyes chilling people to the core. Besides her parents and a handful of others, Cora is alone in this world.
Alone, that is, until she meets Shyla Martin, a new student at Bayberry High School. The girls become fast friends and it isn’t long until Shyla reveals her secret: She’s dead and Cora is her “shadow keeper,” a magical human who can communicate with (and assist) the dead. Cora’s first case is a tough one involving a suicide victim and his possessed father.
As Cora peels back the layers of reality, she discovers more supernatural sidekicks, one of whom is the handsome Xavier Farhat, another “shadow keeper” sent to be her mentor. Even more, she discovers her inner power, self-worth, and the magic that friendship can bring to one’s soul.
I have been a teen librarian for nine years, giving me a wide exposure to young adult literature. I work with teens everyday and know what they enjoy. SHADOW GIRL fits nicely into the current trend of paranormal romance fiction for teens. I was a published book reviewer for KLIATT magazine for two years. I am also a member of the Romance Writers of America.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding possible representation for SHADOW GIRL.
