I have adored your site for some time. I am writing to submit my new book, Little Girls: A Short Story Novella, for your review. The quality of your writing has attracted me to you as a reviewer.

My book Little Girls could best be described as having the honesty of collections such as Say You’re One of Them, and the broad literary scope of works like Junot Diaz, Oscar Wao.

Part YA, part Adult Fiction–each story, though different, takes an honest look at love, commitment and sacrifice (though it is like nothing that you can imagine).

A more detailed description is provided below.

In return for your time, I would be willing to do an interview, a product give-a-way and/or promote your site.

I thank you in advance for your consideration.

Best Regards,

Elton Loud

“It had been a little over two days since fifteen-year-old Shanice had seen real sunlight, or another person. Despondent, she sat silent on the basement floor, her jeans soiled with the red sediment from the brick walls that lined the damp basement.”

The place is Oakland, CA. The year is 2004.

Little Girls: A Short Story Novella is a collection of linked short stories that focus on a group of characters whose connection to each other is the sex trade in the Oakland Bay Area.

More than a collection about prostitutes or prostitution, Little Girls examines the complexities of the human condition, cutting across generations of family to reveal the people, places and history that have formed their identities, and motivations. Mistakes will be made. Lessons will be ignored. Consequences will be deserved.

Each story is unique, and will grab and hold the reader from the first line.
