I am working on writing my novel right now.
But of course to have a chance at getting published I need to write a query letter with a synopsis.
I feel like there are probably other people out there that are in the same spot I am. SO!!! What are the things that you read in a synopsis that pulls you in? What makes you want to read the book? What do you think makes a good synopsis good?
My Synopsis in progress
The fight is never quite over for James Anthony Deluca. After returning home from war (WWII) to his childhood home he learns that his late father left his family in debt to the Mafia. The only way to pay off such a debt is for him to work for The Santora Family. With the help of an old friend turned Mafioso he must fight not only his sense of justice and the law, but an old war buddy who’s a detective and hot on his trail.
As 5 years pass James starts to become a large part of The Santora Family, quickly climbing the ranks. Along the way making new friends and worse enemies, as he dives deeper into this crime syndicate he learns of his father’s involvement with The Santora Family and how he died, more importantly who killed him. James sets out for revenge, but just as quickly his family and loved ones become the target of this mad man. “Wise Guys: A Debt Paid in Full” is a tale of family, duty, and vengeance.
(Is this compelling and does it make you want to read it? Be honest and let me know what you think would improve it)
