I'm finishing up the second draft of the book and am starting on the marketing. I put together a basic marketing plan and I'm filling in the details. I want to do a virtual book tour, a video blog, and the whole nine. When the marketing plan is complete I'll post it here.
The first thing I had to do was write up a short synopsis, or summary, of "Toxic". It only has to be 1-3 paragraphs long but it I had the hardest time doing it. Explaining the plot in a couple paragraphs while sparking interest without spoilers was difficult for me. I take my work so serious sometimes that I feel the need to add every detail when that's really not necessary all the time.
After about an hour I put together this first draft of my synopsis. Tell me what you think:
What started out as a romantic reunion of estranged lovers,
Tracey and Andre, ends with Tracey being choked out by him and waking up tied
to a chair. Andre raped and tortured her for over 12 hours before letting her
go.
Just a month earlier Sandra helped Tracey break free from a
twisted love triangle with Andre and his under aged, pregnant girlfriend Punkin.
After hearing how he violated Tracey once again, Sandra knew it was time for
her best friend to get rid of Andre permanently. Tracey was going to kill him
and Sandra would show her how.
Tracey
was moments away from Andre's demise and her freedom, but the murder goes
terribly wrong and he escapes. As the ladies clean up Tracey's mess a ghost
from her past shows up and Punkin declares war, which complicates everything. Tracey
pounds the pavement of the streets looking for Andre and proves just how far
she is willing to go in the name of love. It's his life or hers and in the end
only one will survive this toxic love affair. The question is, which one will
it be?
