Dayna Hart's Cover and GMC



Dayna Hart has a book coming out and here's here fabulous cover. I'm so happy for her! It's so great to see an author who works hard finally make it.
I'm struggling with my Goal, Motivation and Conflict for my H/h in "Cold Vengence". I think it's because I've had a hard time getting back into the story and really "feeling" my characters. Condensing has not been my strong suit, but I have to learn to do it for Query letters and synopsis writing.
Jessica Logan:
Goal--Find out who killed her parents
Motivation--Grief, justice (This one seems so obvious. Of course she'd want to know, right?)
Conflict--Bad guy doesn't want her to find out. He wants her dead.

Travis Conners
Goal--Find out who killed Louis and Sharon Logan.
Motivation--Sharon Logan was his mentor and Louis was like a father to him.
Conflict--Bad guy doesn't want to get caught. (duh!)

See? Not too interesting. *Sigh*. I'll keep at it. It's just my new one (renamed "Rough Seas") is so much more tempting. I'm forcing myself to keep at it just in case the agent I'm interested in wants to read the whole thing.

Maybe Jessica and Travis will surprise me. They've already added another clue, a little different set up than I had originally and a lot more interaction. I need to stay with the story until it's told, but it's tough when The Bering Sea beckons.
Do you ever get bored with a story half way through? What do you do?
