7/19/2017 0 Comments PitchWars 2017Thrilled to be submitting to PitchWars 2017. So many mentors interested in LGBT romance, yes! My manuscript, Swaying Magnolia, is an #ownvoices work. My hope is that this story will speak to someone who, like my MC, is struggling with her sexuality and family approval. Plus, this book fulfills [my personal] fantasy of having a typical "alpha" woman falling for them. Powerful? Dominant? Sexy? Yes please. Back-of-the-Cover SummaryTwenty-two year old Maggie Reyne has never felt more like a fish out of water than when she moves away from home for the first time--from California's Central Valley, to San Francisco--to start an internship at a tech company. Maggie desperately needs to make it to full time to help with her parents’ financial situation and make them proud, especially her Baptist preacher father. On her first day of work, Maggie nearly gets herself fired. She comes face to face with the CEO of the company, Victoria Citron, a twenty-nine year old prodigy and tech industry celebrity, infamous for demanding perfection. Not realizing who she’s talking to, Maggie lets slip a piece of gossip she heard about her. Maggie believes her gaffe is going to be the end of her career, but instead it launches the most unexpected relationship of her life. Victoria is impressed by Maggie’s particular brand of quiet audacity--which goes from accidental to intentional--and falls for her. Maggie, who has lived with the assumption that she’s straight, is shocked to realize that she is deeply attracted to Victoria. In order to keep up appearances with her Baptist family, Maggie begins to dig herself into deeper and deeper lies, and Victoria’s patience with Maggie’s deceptions only stretches so far. Maggie has to find the courage to dive headfirst into her relationship, even if it means bringing loss and ruin to the world she's always known. And if she doesn’t soon, Victoria might make that decision for her. Thanks for reading! Good luck to all the PitchWars hopefuls!
