Dear Agent for a Day,
She’s not your ordinary Australian country girl, even though she might look like one. She messes with the minds of animals, and sometimes people. She reads their feelings and tells them what to do. Nobody knows what causes it, least of all her. Her name is Jessica, but most people call her ‘freak’.
She’s about to find out who she is, or what she is, and why two men from opposing forces in the universe want her, desperately. Why one of them kidnaps her and transports her to another world, and why the other one invades her mind. Be warned: the truth will change your view of humanity. It ain’t ordinary. Or pretty.
Watcher’s Web is Science Fantasy, completed at 90,000 words.
I live in Australia. I am a member of the NSW Writers’ Centre and the SF-OWW online workshop for SF and fantasy. I have published short stories, most recently in the Fantastic Wonder Stories anthology (ed. Russell Farr, Ticonderoga Publications), Byzarium (November 2008), Ticonderoga Online (December 2008) and The Fat Man at The End of The World anthology (December 2008).
Thank you for looking at my material.
Regards,
Author

Reasons: I think beast master stories have been done too much. Also, I didn’t like being told that “the truth will change your view of humanity.” That sounds a little arrogant; I don’t change my view of humanity too easily.

Thank you for submitting your query. Unfortunately the specifics of your story were too vague for me to determine whether or not I’d be interested in representing it. I’m afraid I’ll have to pass.

Request for pagesReasons: “Messes with minds of animals” is vague and should turn me off – but something about this makes me think it could be the real deal.

[reasoning: mind control over animals doesn’t grab me. Plot description too vague.]
