Fact: writing a synopsis is HARD!

 Hiya!

Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while....I've been busy planning, writing, editing, re-writing, cutting and reading. My first novel 'Sorrow Woods' is due to be self published at the end of August and I'm so excited to see that everything is finally coming together. The initial planning of the book happened within a week and I really struggle to condense a full novel into a few snappy paragraphs for the synopsis which is why it's taken me much longer to write the synopsis then it did to plan the whole novel, chapter-by-chapter, but it's finally done!!! It may need tweaking again but for now, this is my synopsis:

Sorrow Woods
by Beckie Stevenson

“How did you even get here?”
I blink at him, confused by his question. “We live here.”
“You live here, in these woods?”


When Kaiden stumbles across Serena Scott whilst hunting in Sorrow Woods he thinks all of his birthdays have come at once. Finally, the girl that’s haunted and intrigued him and his parents for the last fourteen and a half years is standing in front of him.
And she’s alive.


Serena should have known that he would shatter her life into a thousand pieces; not because of the gun, or the tattoos that snaked around his arm, but because he was the first boy that she’d ever set eyes on.

But he wasn’t just any boy; he was Kaiden Matthews.
He was dark, dangerous and strangely alluring.
And he was annoyingly beautiful.


Serena’s life as she knows it is destroyed after Kaiden drops his bombshell.
As the consequences of his actions begin to penetrate through into her life she vows to stay away from him, and whilst she might have been in his past, she refuses to be his future.

Kaiden knows that in order for either of them to salvage anything from the mess he’s made, he needs to make sure his past stays hidden, but as they start to rebuild their lives they find themselves stuck in a whirlwind of secrets and confessions that could threaten to break their already fragile relationship.




I would love to hear what you think, so please feel free to drop me a message!
Also, on the back of the synopsis I can tell you that there will be a cover reveal in just a few weeks, so keep posted for the exclusive on here!

See you all soon!
