My Sub-standard Query

Tried my hand at Queries...can't seem to get it right...thought perhaps you might check-out my website and see what my readers are saying...

Where The Sun Sets

Best friends since childhood, two women are forced to define that friendship when one is critically injured while protecting the other. While one woman must come to terms with past events she never stopped to notice, the other comes face to face with a past she fought hard to forget.

The story takes place during a twenty four hour period. Antonia Dal Santo spent her whole life protecting her best friend. Josephine Ferrero spent her whole life trying to become someone else. Protecting Josephine was Antonia's way of forgetting how no one protected her. Josephine was so busy acting she forgot who she really was. When Antonia is shot protecting Josephine, both women must face their own hidden truths, alone.

The idea for this story came to me when I heard an interview where an actress said she would love to see a story about a love between two women that did not have to do with sex. This is what I set out to accomplish.

I'm no expert -- but it's not bad. I'd take out the part about how you got the idea for the story, and maybe fix up the part about it taking 24 hours. Or leave the part about the idea in, but change it: Say, instead something like "In this fast-paced drama, the events test what it means for two women to love each other."

Sounds like a good book, though.
