I am a pre-published author, seeking an agent who is open to receiving new clients. I have written a Christian fantasy, Young Adult, 52,000+ word novel, entitled The Book In the Basket.
It is the first day of school, and Gabriel and his sisters are at each other’s throats again. They all know about God and Jesus Christ, but are still unaware how to apply Biblical principles to their relationships with each other. Gabriel finds himself handpicked by the schools greatest advocate for the power of reading, the strict Ms. Thompson, who is rarely seen without her mysterious book that she keeps in a basket. That first morning, Gabriel is thrust forward into a grand adventure when he finds that the book talks and has supernatural powers. Bib is short for Book In the Basket. Bib is what was to be, before Adam and Eve fell, created by God himself to record the lives of them and their children. Bib, older brother to Bible (Book In the Basket; Last Edition) has a new purpose and a secret identity. He has the power to be any book man has ever penned, and is able to transport the reader into the story, and is the Lamb's Book of Life.
Gabriel finds out that he and his two sisters are to rescue a former student of Ms. Thompson’s, who, after experiencing tragedy, came under the influence of Satan, and lost his faith in God and became trapped in The Story of King Arthur while on a "field trip" in Bib. While on their quest, they gain the help of Gabe's best friend, Spence and Jeremy's half brother, Jake and find that Satan is using Jeremy as a puppet to bring about his own insidious plan to change his fate as it is written in the book of Revelation, and seal Bib forever so that the names in the Lamb's Book of Life can never be read. Can the three siblings combine their talents and work together to help the lost student find his way back to reality and God through the love of Jesus Christ and thwart Satan's attempt to change God's word for his own benefit?
In addition to my job as teaching assistant and substitute in an intermediate level school, grades five through six, I am obtaining my BA in Elementary Education. I co-teach our school’s writing club, Destinations, which is comprised of thirty students aged eleven to thirteen. I’ve had the good fortune to become a part of an experienced critique group; with one member being a four time published suspense author for Steeple Hill.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration of my work. I look forward to receiving your response.
Sincerely,
