Here's my cover letter to my publisher:
Dear ****,
I’m
excited to submit Exodus, the third
book in The Moses Chronicles series. As
the final book in the series, the story of Moses continues as he sends many
plagues to Egypt directed by the Lord to convince Pharaoh Ramses to release the
Hebrews from slavery.
Moses
has reunited with his Hebrew family in Goshen, but he has more challenges than
convincing the pharaoh of Egypt to release the Hebrew slaves. With four-hundred
years of slavery and tradition running among the Hebrews, Moses greatest
challenge is to convince the Hebrews to trust in him and to trust in the Lord's
power to deliver them.
Moses’s
brother Aaron has been called to serve as his spokesperson, but even Aaron
can’t comfort some of the Hebrews as the pharaoh rejects their requests time
and time again, despite the debilitating plagues that are ravishing the land.
As
Pharaoh Ramses continues to deny requests made by Moses and Aaron, the plagues
come swift and hard to the land of Egypt, destroying the infrastructure and
economy, leaving the Egyptians destitute. But the pharaoh’s heart remains hard,
and even as the final terrifying plague takes the lives of all the firstborn of
Egypt, Ramses’s isn’t ready to release the children of Israel without a fight.
When
the Hebrews finally escape Egypt, traveling through the miraculous parting of
the Red Sea, they learn that their lives in slavery had been a trusted and
secure way to live, and now they are faced with starvation and impoverishment
in a harsh desert. Moses and the Hebrews must learn to rely on the Lord in all
things, even with their very lives.
Exodus is complete at 84,000 words. I look forward to hearing from
you.
My
best,
Heather
Moore
