COMPOSING A STORY

I have just finished my third book and staring on the fourth. I have published one book "Grains of Sand" and I did it on my own. Now my second book has been edited by an editor who decided to work with me at the South Carolina Workshop in October, 2007.

My second book is called "Branches of Life" and it is considered a women's suspense. I know it is good according to my editor but I have yet to get an agent to gamble on me. I will not give up until I have found someone willing to work with a novice at the tender age of seventy three. Yes, I said (73), that is my age and I'm proud of it.

The story is about a drug lord becoming irate because the building he uses for distribution of drugs has been bought for the purpose of making women's clothing. He decides to kill the owner of the building and does so on the man's honeymoon.

The main character is a woman who grew up in an orphanage and is willing to make designing her livelihood. She is kidnapped and the drug lord is asking for ten million dollars for her return. Do you think he will let her go? Do you think the drug lord will be killed?

There are so many twists and turns in the story, making it intense. What would you do if you were threatened by a drug lord? Would it make you run or would you stay, hoping things will get better?

I know there is someone wanting to help me with this book. I will not give up until I have found an agent willing to work with me.
