I also have to get ready for the NJRW conference coming up. I've done almost all my shopping to get ready, now I need to pack, finalize directions and memorize my pitch. Wanna read it? It's still a little choppy, so I'm trying to smooth the rough edges a bit. But here it is.
A
Shot At Forever
Sheridan Ward
hustles pool for a living. She’s made it this far by following three rules.
Know the game better than your competition. Know your marks better than they
know themselves. And trust no one. Especially the law. But Sheridan wants out. She’s
found a way in a high stakes underground pool tournament. One last big score
and she’ll have enough money to start the life she really wants. She only has
three thousand dollars left to earn for the tournament’s buy-in. But less than
a month to make it. Everything is working to plan until her latest hustle in a
small Texas town turns ugly.
Sheriff Ethan
Bankert has spent every spare second investigating the murder of his father,
but the trail has grown cold, until he stops an assault on a beautiful loner
that leaves her with an injured wrist and no transportation. He immediately places
Sheridan under his protection. Ethan knows she’s the key to re-opening an
investigation into the men he believes killed his father since they’re the same
ones who assaulted her. If only she’d press charges. Yet the more time he
spends trying to convince her, the more Sheridan reawakens feelings he hasn’t
felt since before his father was murdered. And some he’s never felt before.
It’d be a cold day
in hell before Sheridan steps back into a courtroom, no matter how tempting the
sheriff is. She may be stuck in his town waiting for her truck to be fixed, but
she’s anxious to get to the tournament. It’s her best shot at starting the life
she’s dreamed of . . . except now those dreams have begun to include Ethan. But
in the shadows of the small Texas town, a killer from Ethan’s past is
determined never to let Sheridan have her SHOT AT FOREVER.

What a great blog. Im entertain to this please continue making blogs
NJ sounds like fun. Maybe I'll do someday. I have pitched something at every conference I've gone to, agents and editors. It's nerve-wracking but I think your novel sounds great. I'd read about a sexy Texas sheriff.
I think I'm starting to come down with something. Maybe I can get a sick day out of it.
I've never pitched in person, except for when I played softball as a kid. But your pitch sounds great, so I wish you lots of luck with it.
Pitched? Yes. Twice that I recall. Puked? No. (But almost.) Paid off? The second time, yes! So it's worth the stress. Your pitch sounds great. I'll be rooting for you. :)
Thanks, guys!
