Dear Mr./Ms.
I’d like to invite you to consider for representation my military thriller, The Soldier’s Journal, complete at 87,000 words.
Riley Mason—primed to break the glass ceiling of Special Forces—has fought sexism her whole military career, and just as she discovers a mystery surrounding her father’s death, she finds herself fighting the system again while trying to keep her men alive.
Haunted by her father’s death in Afghanistan when she was only twelve, Captain Riley Mason follows in his footsteps, conducting combat operations in Iraq and becoming one of the first women to earn the coveted Green Beret. Even in the elite ranks, though, she is challenged by sexism at every turn. Pushed to the sidelines of the Afghan war and forced into an administrative job, she finally proves herself to her commander and is given the opportunity to lead a Green Beret team into combat. Just before the team launches, however, she discovers her father wasn't killed by enemy fire, but by an American traitor. Arriving in the same base where her father served his last days, she wrestles with combating the enemy and protecting her men. All the while, she tracks her father's killer in order to bring him to justice.
Currently on active duty in Italy, I served for 25 years as a Green Beret on missions around the world and will retire in November after 31 years of service. I earned a BA in U.S. History and a MFA in Creative Writing.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
All best,
