I'm filling out book information for my second book with GUARDIAN ANGEL PUBLISHING.
 How do I condense 40,000 words into a 50 word blurb that will entice a future readership.  For starters, I always love my characters and by the end of the book I'm living with them, worrying about them, wondering if I've put them into a precarious situation from which they'll never recover.
 TOW HOUSE LILLY was inspired by a sweet little neighbor girl by the same name who ferried back and forth between two homes after her parents' divorce. Her dad jokingly said, "Lilly lives in two houses."

 A wonderful premise,  I thought, but a premise is just that. With no plot you have no story. Slowly she emerged with a fully fleshed step-family, love interest for her mother, and an endearing Grandmother with the energy of someone half her age.

Now to work on the cover illustration. Slowly working out the roughs on watercolor paper; Lilly is truly coming to life.
