NaNoWriMo Pitchapalooza 2016 is now open- Submit your pitches to the Book Doctors for a chance to have them reviewed, and possibly submitted to an agent or editor! Here is mine:
Rebecca, a young Londoner
and graphic designer, hasn’t uttered one word in 20 years. She’s just escaped
her mum’s party and is hiding up a tree with a bottle of vodka, when she hears
a scream from next door. She discovers a man in an old-fashioned, blue dress
and latex horse’s head bending over the neighbour, who has a stocking around
her neck. Frozen in fear, Rebecca is
pitched back to the year she played a donkey in her school Nativity play. When
Mary bent over the Baby Jesus, little Rebecca wet herself. And now it’s
happened again.
This is a story of
obsession, revenge and art. As Rebecca strives to uncover the secret which attacks her bladder and has stolen her
voice, she begins to find the links between the past and the violence escalating around
her. Someone frightens her Gran to death and takes the contents of a locked trunk.
Blood-spattered, old photos of Rebecca’s mum in a familiar blue dress are
posted through the door by a man who’s been following Rebecca.
Who can she turn to for help? Maybe the ginger
Canadian she meets out jogging isn’t quite as guileless as he seems. Her cheery
colleague is hiding something on his flash drive, which gets him mugged. Suave
Jonny, her mum’s friend, insists that Rebecca should pose for him. Did he take
the beautifully posed pictures of dead women she finds by accident? And which of
these men is the one inside the horse’s head?
GOOD LUCK!
