I've finished rough drafts on my three completed courtly books. My poor critique partner has a mailbox full of attachments and is probably cursing my name about now. Still not done, but getting there. I need to revise my synopsisisis on Courtly Pleasures and Courtly Scandals. Courtly Abandon will be written from scratch.
As for Possessing Karma, that book is only 20ish% written. I know promoting it is putting the cart before the horse, but I think I need to show that I'm versatile. I will write a one sheet and synopsis on that one, too. Soon. Eventually. Sigh.
Anyway, here are my revised courtly headers (Photoshop is fun) and taglines. Still having trouble with the '25 word or less' aspect of that, but hey...
Fear is the only obstacle to Jane's future happiness. She
must be brave enough to choose love over security.
New version: Trapped in a web of her father’s lies, Jane must find the strength to choose love over obligation
Question -- should my tagline be specific to the story? That's how I was approaching it. OR should it be specific to my writing'? A riotous romp through Elizabethan England -- or something. I don't know. So tired. And sweaty. And I'm beginning to suspect I may be lactose intolerant. And I need to put away the laundry...
More writing specific tag line fun:
Dancing and drinking and feasting, oh my!
The Elizabethan court, deflowering maidens since 1558!
Loosen your corset and have a glass of wine. You may need a cigarette after this book.

I loved all three taglines! You've been busy... phew! Nice work, keep it going! :D
Good tag lines! Love the headers, too. Wouldn't it be awful if you mis-spelled the title of the book? Just kidding.
OMGosh... now I'm scared. I have a bad habit of mixing up loose and lose, but my own titles - I can see that happening. Oh man... :)
