New... New Query letter.

So I've written another query letter with the help of Lauren Spieller. She was quite the life saver. So now for your viewing pleasure. My NEW... NEW query letter.



Dear Agent,

When an ancient stone tablet detailing the origin of vampires is discovered, Sean Gryphon, an immortal from Atlantis with the ability to change shapes, is commanded to protect the Archaeologist who found it. Sean accepts these orders with all the grace of an elephant on roller-skates, but the ruling council of Atlanteans haven’t given him much choice: either protect Dr. Ilsy Hillerman and prove his worth to the Atlantean race… or die. 

Sean arrives at the home of Dr. Hillerman only to find it besieged by werewolf-alligator hybrids, known as wolfengators. Thinking fast, Sean whisks Ilsy away to his cabin where they plunge into the mysteries of the tablet and each other. They believe the worst is over after a few weeks of hiding. That is, until the original vampire, Lord Kek, sends his forces to reclaim the tablet and Ilsy.

Overpowered and desperate to save the woman he’s fallen in love with Sean sacrifices his own life to destroy Lord Kek’s forces and rescue Ilsy. Luckily, the Celtic Goddess Danu is impressed by his efforts and offers him the chance to return to Ilsy if he undertakes a quest to destroy her most dangerous foe: a mysterious immortal cloaked in shadows, the true power behind Lord Kek.

Complete at 85,000 words, RAGGED EDGE: CRY OF THE PHOENIX, is a supernatural thriller with series potential in the vein of THE DRESDEN FILES and SALEM’S LOT.
 
For the past ten years, I have worked as a paranormal investigator and have given lectures around the state of Kansas on the supernatural. I enjoyed applying my research throughout this novel.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
