And an even bigger yay: I have a title for my finished book! (The one I'm going to start querying as soon as I finish fiddling with the first 10 pages.)
It is, THE BOY WHO STOLE MY HEART CAR. It comes courtesy of a friend of mine. She's brilliant. ^_^
The following is a snippet from aforementioned book - or a potential snippet, anyway. I'm thinking of adding it (or something like it) since it seems to address the previously unaddressed issue of why my MC didn't phone the police. (I needed a better reason than her phone being coincidentally dead.)
And so, without further ado:
“What did the police say?”
“The police?”
“When you told them someone tried to steal your car.”
“I didn’t tell them.”
“You didn’t?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Well, he didn’t actually steal it,” I said quickly, “So I assumed they couldn’t really do anything. And even if they could, I’m sure they wouldn’t have found him. And if they had, he would have known it was me who ratted him out, and he knows where I work, so that would have been dangerous. And he had very nice manners.”
Rachel blinked at me. “Nice manners?”
“Yes. Aside from the attempted car theft, I mean.”
"Aside from the attempted car theft"
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I love it! Love the title too!
