Sadie's Query:
Mar. 27th, 2006 10:41 pmHi all,
I have rewritten my query letter for my first novel A Stabbing for Sadie. I could really use some input, if anyone is so disposed. If you've read the book, I'd like to know if this is a fair representation of it. If not, I need to know if this would make you want to read it. And feel free to add any suggestions on how to make it better, no matter how nitpicky.
Keep in mind that these letters are supposed to be written without adjectives describing the book, and that things are properly underlined in the actual text.

In zombie culture news, I'm sure by now you've all heard about the lunatic who shot up a zombie-themed raid in Seattle. As I was saying earlier to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aicerno, it's people like that who make people like me look like total fucking jackasses. By all means, have a zombie survival plan. But if you're that afraid of zombies, a zombie themed rave may not be the right place for you. I can only assume he was tripping on LSD and lost his grip on reality. I've been close to that on acid a time or two, which is one of the many reasons I don't strap bandoliers across my chest before going out.
And who the hell is stealing dogs around Ann Arbor and killing them? As we all know, I love cats and have a mild distaste for dogs. But c'mon! That's a whole new level of horror. People say that animal killing is only a step away from something "really bad" like hurting people. I have to say that if you can look at a (non rabid) dog and hurt it--I mean they're cutting off heads for crying out loud--that you are already dangerously disturbed. So hey coppers, how 'bout you find these nut jobbies and get them the hell out of my town?
