Q2: Adult mystery. Intriguing idea, but then the query includes the character's voice in the query and it is generic. Pass #tenqueries

Q1: Paranormal romance. I don't represent paranormal, so this one is an easy rejection. Please look at what I rep! #tenqueries

Q9: Rock star romance. Great characters, fun plot and strong writing. Word count is long but I want to take a look at 50 pages. #tenqueries
