He looked so sorry, and he said,"I would not want to answer that right now. I understand that you are upset."

I held out my hand, the one with the angel in it. "Do you see this angel? This angel has been hard at work all day, keeping me off that (surgical) table. Do you understand that? I am not supposed to be here. I should be in my classroom! I do not have vasculitis."

Thanks for doing this! I know the pitch and quick blurb are so important and yet I have been able to come up with concise ones for only one of my nine books. AND it's kind of cheating because it's built on another story that is well known!

Thanks for the opportunity, Morgan! Here's mine for DEATH BY KILLER MOP DOLL:

Overdue bills and constant mother vs. mother-in-law battles at home are bad enough. But crafts editor Anastasia Pollack’s stress level is maxed out when she and her fellow American Woman editors get roped into unpaid gigs for a revamped morning TV show. Before the glue is dry on Anastasia’s mop dolls, morning TV turns crime drama when the studio is trashed and the producer is murdered. And Anastasia has no clue her snooping has landed her directly in the killer’s unforgiving spotlight.

Sixteen-year-old TOM ALLEN’s life is imploding. His father banished Tom from his life; Tom’s stepfather is entirely too interested in commenting on Tom’s behavior. Then Tom’s beloved grandma suffers a stroke, which leaves his mother emotionally distant.

When Tom reads an old family memoir from his grandma’s cedar chest he becomes intrigued by his ancestors’ accounts of their struggle to form one unified family from two shattered families. They face man-made and natural dangers while they battle to survive smoldering conflicts in “Bleeding Kansas” that will soon erupt into the bloodiest war in American history — the Civil War. With the help of family and friends, past and present, Tom gradually comes to terms with the pain and possibilities of his own family.
