I'm finally pleased with my query letter. Hope an agent is watching and likes it as much as I do!
I'm still undecided about the title of my story. I had planned on using LAZY CATS but I'm not heart set on that title. Anyway, here's my query letter. Please feel free to let me know what you think (even if you don't like it)
Dear Mr.XXXX
My story is a 59,000 word Women’s fiction, yet untitled.
Author Maggie Weathers learns that the pen is mightier than the sword. She wishes now she would have used erasable ink.
Just Maggie’s luck! Seven years in a comfortable marriage-one night of shamefully exciting sex, and poof, her husband’s gone without an explanation.
Did he run off with his secretary Tracy Morgan? Highly unlikely, she was just a flirtatious temptation that got out of hand.
Did Maggie’s wanton behavior drive him away? Possibly, Chris had always kept Maggie on a pedestal. Their one night of uninhibited sex might have dimmed his perception of her.
Did he get tired of the peaceful country life where Maggie insisted they live? Doubtful, he seemed to enjoy the quiet after a busy day in the City.
Did Maggie’s writing career have anything to do with her husband’s disappearance? YES!
Maggie had no idea her husband Chris had been secretly reading about Sarah
Maggie and Sarah have a lot in common. Both women are writers, they both have demanding husbands, Maggie’s husband had an affair with his secretary, Sarah’s with the next door neighbor. The women even think alike but there is one big difference between the two. Maggie is real and Sarah is only a figment of Maggie’s imagination. But both women scare the hell out of their husbands.
Thank you for your time.
