Did reading this remind you of someone?
Who do you think are the author’s influences?

Can you embellish your synopsis?  I like the writing, but there isn’t enough of it to draw me in.  For me a synopsis will tell the whole book, condensing it down to 1% or less of its size by intense summarizing.  The excerpt can then remind the reader of that one sentence, paragraph, clause, or even a single word, from the synopsis, showing how the synopsis expands into a great book.  I’ll have to cross post that to the FAQ post.

After rethinking the synopsis, I think I will remove this story for now.  I hope that does not cause a problem.  As I looked back at my outline, I realized the need for some significant changes.  In the long run this will be good for my story.  Thanks for making me take a closer look.
