I’m taking a class, Literary Sales Package with Laurie Sanders, and the first assignment was the query letter, which included a short “blurb” for the second paragraph. I brainstormed and got it written, and Laurie tweaked just a couple of words, and here we go!

Long ago, Julian DiConti was caught in a powerful spell binding him to a Djinn bottle, forced to grant wishes to each owner of his bottle. Three wishes… of the right kind… could free Julian of his bonds, but after six hundred years, he is beginning to wonder if he will be trapped as a Djinn forever. Enter Alessandra Taylor, good Samaritan extraordinaire. She’d gladly free Julian from the spell if she could, but he isn’t allowed to tell her how, and one by one she’s driven to use the precious wishes to help others. But where will that leave Julian, and the growing love between them?

Laurie, by the way, is a FABULOUS instructor, and her blog posts as well are incredibly informative and helpful! She teaches online classes through the Outreach International RWA Chapter (classes are available to nonmembers). I highly recommend them!
