As the time nears for Five to Fifteen to be submitted to a publisher (December), my soon to be agent says I have to start promoting my book. Seems so self serving, but then, that's what trying to get published is, right? Unaccustomed to self serving, but definately want to get this book published....so time to start self serving. An excerpt from the proposal she is sending to publishers seems the most logical...
"Falling, I keep on falling" is how the author describes herself as she became more and more dependent on drugs and dealing to support her hundreds of dollars per day habit. As she witnesses other dealers and junkies around her being killed or committing suicide, she begins to realize how her addiction has affected others around her....the pace of life in this part of Five to Fifteen is obviously rushing towards death or imprisonment. Perhaps fortunately for Denise, she is sentenced to prison, a new low in itself. But not before she is nearly killed in her own house by desperate thieves looking for money and drugs. Brutally raped by these strangers, her gripping account of that episode is mortifying. So begins a lifelong fear of spending the night anywhere by herself."
Funny - being called an author, I rather like the sound. More to come if this is one way to promote.
