Per my Twitter conversation with Colby Hodge/Cindy Holby, here's the short blurb I created yesterday for my upcoming young adult Novel, The Ghost and The Goth, using Linnea Sinclair's "character+conflict+hook" formula. She does it way better than I can, but I'm pretty proud of this one:
The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey KadeAfter a close encounter with the front end of a school bus, Alona Dare goes from Homecoming Queen to Queen of the Dead. Now she's stuck here in spirit form with no sign of the big, bright light coming to take her away. To make matters worse, the only person who might be able to help her is Will Killian, a total loser/outcast type who hates the social elite. He alone can see and hear her, but he wants nothing to do with the uberbitch of Groundsboro High.
Can they get over their mutual distrust—and this weird attraction between them—to work together before Alona vanishes for good and Will is locked up for seeing things that don't exist?From Hyperion Books in Summer 2010. Visit StaceyKade.com for more details.

When its in front of me it seems so simple. I saw everything in your summary that was in Linnea's formula.
Gee, I should have had a V8. (Hand smacks forehead)
Can't wait to read it!
Thanks, Cindy! :) Yeah, I think it was the key words that helped this time. I'm actually going to try it again, once my edits are finished, to see if I can get it to help me make sense out of my current work in progress. It's being a little difficult. :)
Awesome! :)
