More synopsis blues.
There's Samuel's Girl, for which I have a rambling synopsis that, in its current state, might well send an editor to sleep before the end. The book wouldn't (I hope) but that synopsis might. I keep trying.
The one-liner for that book is this:
Samuel Watson accidentally releases a demon, and the only one who can stop it is a self-centred professor who doesn’t believe in the supernatural.
Not too bad, I think, although it could do with some trimming. The actual synopsis needs a visit from the editing chainsaw.
The other synopsis is for a co-authored science-fiction novel, something of a departure from my normal style. It does have some horror elements, but my co-author keeps me under control most of the time. That one's harder since the book has three interleaved stories. They all meet at the end, but still, it's a nightmare to summarise.
I suppose I'd better get on with it. These stories won't summarise themselves.
