Here’s the pitch:

Everyone knows it’s hard to enter high school. But no one knows better than Stanley Hoff. It doesn’t help that at night he wants to howl up at the moon. Or that in his vegetarian household, Stanley has a horrible secret that makes it hard to sit down at the dinner table and bless the veggie burgers prepared by his Wiccan mother.

As they say in New England, Stanley Hoff is WICKED HUNGRY.

In fact, he’s filled with forbidden cravings. And not for tofu pups. For meat. How much beef jerky, how many Slim Jims can Stanley hide in his room, in his locker at high school?

When a very hairy showdown with a school bully sets in motion a great chain of events that include an invitation to cheerleader Meredith’s Halloween party, Stanley has to ask himself some important questions. Can he overcome his shyness and get the girl? Save his family, his community and his diverse group of friends from the growing supernatural threat? All while figuring out how to control the beast within?

We would love for you to review our book because we want honest thoughts on what we are trying to create. As two people who love the fantasy genre, we wanted to take it and mix it up a little. Freshen it up and make it accessible to people outside the genre as well. We kept the tenets of what we believe comprise a great fantasy novel and mixed them with a sense of humor and good old-fashioned adventure.

Book Description:
By the morning of his thirtieth birthday, Manly Hero still hasn’t killed a monster. Not even a little one. Normal for most people, perhaps, but not for his family. Monster-slaying is, after all, the Hero family business and Manly comes from a very long line of monster-slayers. In fact, his grandfather is one of the most famous monster-slayers to have ever lived. Although right now his grandfather sits in his wheeled chair, permanently catatonic.

On the morning of his thirtieth birthday, Manly has almost come to terms with the fact that he will never fulfill his monster-slaying destiny. Because, in the land of Aldendhar, monsters are extinct. Manly’s grandfather was just a little too awesome at his job, and monsters haven’t existed for over three decades.

And so, the morning of his birthday, Manly has to ask himself, what is the thirty-year-old grandson of a monster-slayer supposed to do with his life? Hold down his job as a butterfly curator at the royal museum? Hang out with his two best friends; Cronimus, the failing wizard, and Ruby, the pickpocketing, self-proclaimed pirate? Or should Manly finally admit his true feelings to the girl of his dreams, the beautiful and famous Amelia Champion?

Oh yes, and on the morning of his thirtieth birthday, Manly is still receiving those birthday letters from his dead grandmother.

But, by the evening of his thirtieth birthday, Manly’s mind will be filled with a much different set of questions. Can he actually slay a monster? What happened to his grandfather? And are his parents really in an open marriage? The answers Manly finds will take him down a crazy path of adventure he couldn’t have foreseen, with a group of characters just as unique as his family.

Thank you for your consideration.

Judy Barton may be the most-watched and least-understood woman in movie history. Generations of viewers think Scottie Ferguson tells us all we need to know about Judy when he sputters, “You were his girl!” at Vertigo’s climax. But what if the woman we’ve come to sympathize with by the time Ferguson levels his deadly accusation is neither Gavin Elster’s mistress, nor a willing accessory to murder?

The Testament of Judith Barton tells Judy’s behind-the-scenes side of the story in her own voice. Like Wicked for The Wizard of Oz, it reveals the secret history of a classic film from a mysterious woman’s point of view.

Your interest in Fantasy books suggests that you may find this one interesting. The setting is a feudal society that formed after a planetary pole shift devastated the earth’s surface population and all but wiped out technology. The common people are ruled by magicians, who are aware of the Shamanic society of goblins who live in caverns below the city.

When an unwitting human wanders accidentally into the caverns, a series of events is set into motion that will lead the leader of the magicians, Count Anton, to betray his loyalty to his own people to avoid a war that the humans cannot possibly win.

Hunted by humans who feel he has betrayed them by his friendship with the goblins and unwelcome in the goblin world where all humans are considered to be the enemy, he will be thrown into a deeper world where even the goblins have reason to be afraid.

I hope you would like to read my story. The first sequel, Demoniac Dance, will be released this summer.

Thank you.
