The Synopsis Struggle

I never realized how hard it was to write a freakin' synopsis. It's serious business (lol in the Mr. John voice-shoutout to my calculus teacher at Suitland High).

It's what pulls people in you know? I need it to be on point, so people will read it and be like "damn let me read this cause I gotta know what happens next." The cover is already gonna entrance folks (shoutout to A.T. Yancey the tightest artist I know) and the playlists I include in the book are gonna pull people too. I've never seen anyone with playlists like mine in a novel. On top of that, I'm creating all the playlists on imeem.com so people can actually hear the music I mention...

Sorry to toot my own horn but that last idea is incredible. Music with a book? Classic in the making :) People are gonna try to duplicate but their shit will never be as tight as mine. My daddy used to be a DJ so the music is in my veins.

On top of that I touch on 2 social issues- obesity and the recession. People damn sure identify with that- half of this country is obese and the recession is on everyone's mind...eff the mind, that thang is raping pockets and snatching liveliehoods left and right. Finally I add crazy gore and violence, plenty of drama (I grew up watching Lifetime with my mom EVERY Saturday), and some comedy because I am silly as hell.

There's so much going on that it's impossible for me to write the synopsis. That thing will be 8 pages lol. People ask me all the time what my novel is about and I've learned to give them the quick "it's about a struggling singer, forced to work for a serial killer. It's set in the Metro area. I put playlists in the book, go make an account on imeem.com so you can listen."

It is now complete...

Synopsis

Mia Nickole Rose is a beautiful, full-figured, witty, aspiring songstress who feels “stuck” in her average, ordinary life. As a struggling artist in Washington D.C.’s metropolitan area, desperate to make ends meet, Mia gets caught up in the game when she is invited to a party that she will never forget. She is offered an ultimatum and, in exchange for her life, she takes on a job working for a serial killer hell bent on vengeance. Mia's struggles with her weight/self-esteem and finances become minute, while she focuses to stay alive, sane and unharmed.


Mia's average life horrifyingly spirals out of control deep into a world of insanity and murder. Her new "employer" will stop at nothing to keep Mia in his grasp. While the soundtrack of her life plays in the background, Mia is forced to distance herself from family, friends and even the love of her life in order to protect them from her hidden secrets.


Fat Kills is a must-read which will leave its audience astonished, angry and afraid. Yes, very afraid...
