Intrigue or indifference?

Here is the body of the query letter as it is now. I'm more story teller than editor, please feel free to give feedback and grammar advise.

Does this intrigue you or leave you indifferent? The name of the book is "Cyn."

--
Methodically Cyndi plots to dismantle the lives of two powerful men, but when Sara desperately tries to save her marriage, the two women become entangled in the battle of their lives.

This is the premise of my recently completed 76,000 word manuscript, seasoned with adventure and romance. The story entertains as it places Christians in a good light and provides a "clean read."

Cyn is a current day story that takes the reader to exotic locations as Sara attempts to discover why Dallas suddenly walked out of their beautiful Laguna home. Greed, seduction and treason overwhelm Sara as she searches for answers.

Hatred drives a highly intelligent beauty, named Cyndi, to seduce two aerospace executives with a sinister promise of love and wealth. Cyn is on the verge of success when Sara's blind grasp for the truth places her in a secluded Idaho cabin as the crime is minutes from success.

Escaping with her life and millions of dollars, Sara tries to piece the unbelievable information together, but when a drunk crashes into her, she's rescued by a quiet country man who is dealing with a deep sadness of his own.

Two years later, bullets slice through the back seat and crash into the dash next to her as Sara serpentines through the Mexican desert in the story's high energy conclusion.

I have experience in the Aerospace industry, grew up in the Idaho area and live close to Laguna, all of which add to the realism and depth of this work. I enjoy writing and have had several articles published, but this is my first "big" work. I would be pleased to provide the full manuscript or sections upon request. Thank you for taking time to consider my work. I've enclosed a SASE and look forward to hearing from you.

  1. Sounds great to me! Just change "stories" to "story's" in Paragraph 6.
