I’m working on several new novels at the same time, but one in particular keeps pulling on my heart strings. It it is a novel called SWAG that I am challenging myself to release by March of 2009 just in time to take copies to the Wagfest Literary Event in Seattle, WA.
Today I took a stab at writing the synopsis, but right now it sounds more like a review. Here is what I have come up with.
Noelle stepped out on faith and left her full time job to pursue her passion of singing full time. Now six months have passed and other than a gig at a night club or wedding here and there, her singing career hasn’t gone much of anywhere.
She spends most of her time sitting up under her charismatic, yet sneaky boyfriend, Jonah, like a loyal and faithful puppy. Although there is no doubt that Jonah loves her, his love for women in general far outweighs his desire to give her the proposal of marriage that she wants so badly.
After Jonah uses her hopes of an engagement to manipulate a situation so that it will work in his favor, Noelle gets fed up and decides to move forward with her career…with or without Jonah.
This unfortunate turn of events prompts Noelle to take advantage of an offer that would have been impossible for anyone in their right mind to refuse, but as usual, she put the needs of Jonah before her own and had considered declining. His reluctance to propose pushed her to accept the invitation to be a house guest on the popular, hit reality show, House of Swag. On the show aspiring entertainers with the potential to take it to the next level are trained to become multifaceted mega stars.
While in the house she catches the eye of the shows creator, Monroe “Paper” Chase. He uses his good looks and smooth talk to charm her, then he uses his money and power to attempt to subtract Jonah from the equation. She is faced with another challenge when the attention that she gets from Monroe sparks envy in other house guests who are not beyond trying to bring her down to get ahead.
As Noelle rises toward super stardom she has some difficult choices to make. What lies ahead of her looks so much better that what she has left behind. Will she work to keep the love that she and Jonah shares alive, or will she choose fame, fortune and a man who can make all of her dreams come true?
Something completely off the topic…
