First Chapters - Speechless Book Synopsis

You've enjoyed their first three chapters; now learn more about the books that are moving onto the final round of the First Chapters Writing Competition!

Book Synopsis Snippet from Geeta Menon's Speechless:

Set in Silicon Valley between the dotcom bust and 9/11, this story is about three bright, yet haunted women whose disparate lives intersect at a Speakers Club. One keeps a journal that hints at a disturbed psyche; all three make hard-hitting choices to deal with their pasts until the 9/11 events derail their plans, resulting in a chilling revelation.

Please make sure to check back on Thursday, May 31, when we will be announcing the Grand Prize Winner of the First Chapters Writing Competition!

Geeta, I am happy that you made it to the final 5. Good luck with your book. I didn't think anyone could make silicon valley employees's lives interesting.

Geeta... you've grabbed a great idea, created complex people, and put them in an interesting place. AND, it looks as if you are making the whole thing fly! Not an easy task. Congratulations. I hope you have another book in the works already. Keep on moving on.
