I've Been Slashed by a Big Black Cat!

My query for Dodge the Sun has been hacked by the amazing YA writer, Mindy McGinnis. (You can read her Getting the Call story here.) Mindy or Big Black Cat as she's known around AQC slashes query letters every Saturday, and I'm this week's victim volunteer. There's nothing harder then getting your query perfect and so much rests on their three or four short paragraphs. Read her comment to me on her blog: Writer, Writer, Pants on Fire. She had some great suggestions for my query and clarified exactly where I need to tinker. Off to tweak.
