The desert bloom Is as delicate as a hummingbird Yet it is strong enough to withstand an hot and arid landscape.

Novel Treatments / Query letter and first chapter
Wow, if Tula would do that to a punching bag, what would she do to the actual guy. This piece is very well written, and should get an agent easily. I do however think the punching bag would be sufficient, I think the thing about slicing the guy up to "paper the living room" may be a bit over the top. Someone might think this is an attempt at male bashing. I would love to find out what happens next, let me know when the book comes out.
