The Next Big Thing: Mission Accomplished

Here’s the plan:

***Answer the following ten questions about a current WIP (Work In Progress).

***Tag five other writers and link their blogs so we can all hop over and read their answers. It’s that simple.

My plan was to answer one question per week with the best intentions of having my novel published by the time I posted the final question. It was necessary to miss a couple of questions to complete the editing, format the manuscript, and upload everything in ebook format to Kindle, but I am pleased to say that on Tuesday, August 28:

 

Mission Accomplished! 

Here is Question #10 of The Next Big Thing:

TNBT: Can you tell us anything else that might pique our interest in your book?

GAIL: From the book synopsis: By the time she figures out what her cousin's missing high-top pink sneaker has to do with a letter written by a fifteen-year-old nun in Paris, the loaded revolver is cocked and aimed at Pepper’s heart.
