The “2nd Project Proposals” are a series of three proposals I will write and post in order for readers to help me choose what my other project to work on is in addition to PFN. Each proposal will be posted one week before the next is released. At the end of the three weeks, a poll will be up in the Facebook Group. Members will vote on which proposal will be my second project. This is proposal 3.

“Death Defying”

Don’t remember what this was made with but it wasn’t Canva!

The Plot

A wife and mother starts seeing a strange figure, someone who looks like a normal person but gives her an inhuman feeling, always wearing the color yellow.

Then one night there’s a terrible accident and her world is turned upside down. Instead of walking through the stages of grief she leaps right into anger, her only goal being to defy death and challenge him.

In her mind there are only two options: Bring her loved ones back to her or join them. But she will not go down without a fight.

Facts

  • I’ve had bits of this one written since 2017. It came to me during a park outing with my husband and kid.
  • It a tiny bit personal as I feel like, based on what I have written already, I’d feel the same way the main character does.
  • Like with all stories I’ve had it floating around in my noggin for a while, ideas have come and gone. However there are a few different directions I could take it in and I’d love to explore it at some point.
  • No matter which proposal is chosen it will be released exclusively as premium content only. It will be released chapter by chapter, on a weekly basis. I will not start posting it until I’ve had several chapters written and edited.
  • Premium is set at $10 a year, which I think is reasonable.
  • Once the story is written and fully edited it will be available as either paperback or hardcover, when I self-publish.

Voting

Voting will begin after all proposals are posted, one week after the third proposal. At that time there will be a poll posted on the Facebook Group which will run for two weeks. Facebook currently does not allow a end date for polls so I will call it myself. I will post announcements on the group, Facebook page, and this website.

“Sisters Make the Best Accomplices”

The cover says short story but my brain says long story. Made with Canva

The Plot

Sisters Elena and Ginger Baker are nothing alike and barely get along. Elena is straight-laced, hard working, and determined succeed. Ginger is a free spirit, who prefers to keep herself open to opportunity. Which sometimes leads to trouble.

But when Ginger, through no fault of her own, gets herself into a situation she can’t get out of, Elena has to come to her rescue. And both women end up getting stuck with blood on their hands.

Will they get themselves out of the mess they made, or will they end up in bigger trouble than either imagined?

Facts

  • This idea has been flopping around in my head since about mid-pandemic.
  • These characters are nothing like real people, although I’m pretty close to my real life sister
  • I have not worked on this idea before, other than a few short paragraphs. But my brain has.
  • No matter which proposal is chosen, it will be exclusively released as Premium content. It will be posted chapter by chapter on a weekly basis. I will not be posting until I am several chapters in advance.
  • Premium is currently set at $10 a year. I think that’s reasonable.
  • Once the story is fully written and edited, it will be made available as either paperback or hardcover, when I self-publish.

Voting

Voting will begin after all proposals are posted, one week after the third proposal. The poll will be available on thr Facebook group and will run for two weeks before I call it (Facebook doesn’t currently allow you to set an end date). Closing date will be announced when the poll is posted.

Created with Canva

The “2nd Project Proposals” are a series of three proposals I will write and post in order for readers to help me choose what my other project to work on is in addition to PFN. Each proposal will be posted by one week before the next is released. At the end of the three weeks, a poll will be up in the Facebook Group. Members will vote on which proposal will be my second project. This is proposal 1.

The Silent Secret

Title subject to change. Book cover created using Canva

The Plot

Twenty years ago, at a lakeside celebration for the graduating seniors of Black Pine High, popular cheerleader Haley Sullivan went missing. Presumed dead the town mourned her and honored her at graduation.

Now, decades later, everyone from her friend group, including Lucy Sawyer, her childhood friend, received postcards from Black Pines, with no return address and the words “have you forgotten about Haley?”

Lucy decides to go home to Black Pines, just in time for her high school reunion, to try to unravel the mystery of what really happened to Haley.

Facts

  • Black Pines is a town I’ve had living in my mind for about five years now. There’s a whole backstory for it. If chosen I’d make a post detailing the town. I recently decided the town is located in Montana.
  • Random Generators play a part in several aspects of this story. Mostly the title and character names.
  • The whole story has been floating in my head for a couple years now and was going to be my first premium story.
  • No matter what proposal is chosen, the story will be solely available via premium. It will be posted chapter by chapter on a weekly basis. I will NOT begin posting until I’m at least several chapters in advance.
  • Premium is currently set at $10 a year. I feel that’s a reasonable amount.
  • Once the story is fully written and edited, it will be made available as either a paperback or hardcover, when I self-publish.

Voting

Voting will begin after all proposals are posted, one week after the third proposal. The poll will be on the Facebook group and will run for two weeks before I call it. (Facebook polls have no option for closing). Closing date will be indicated on in the poll.
