All of this forced inaction made me think on the submission/query process again. I am having a lot of trouble with this. But mainly for the romance I am currently editing. For the event driven shadowbook1, Shadows of Light (Which is a German YA book and I get hammered with requests for the sequel by my beta readers) it would be easier, I realized. So, what is it ,that gives me so much trouble, mewonders? Is this first finished full adult (and believe me it is adult stuff ;)) simply not as good as the other stuff? I don't think so. Maybe, someone can help. This is not an attempt at the actual queryletter, as I will try to convey my problem here not my writing (Meknows that query needs enticing writing, but I am trying to locate and solve my problem)

In
For Love is Strong as Death (Which is a fitting title but in the current frenzy for vampiresexylit might give the wrong impression)
Maj, recently widowed mother of two bumps into Michael, Mike, Parker, reigning hollywood hunk. In Berlin. She helps him hide from the press and due to (un)fortunate circumstances he comes over to her place. (so far ,so One Nighter ;))
When they meet again, not so much by chance as due to his obsessive compulsion to find her again, it is at a formal function. Mike gets Maj to dance with him, but before he can explain Maj's date for the evening claims her back. They leave the ball early (so far, so Cinderella, if a bit overaged)
Got any ideas? Any advise? I am editing this and I still love it. So far, the adjustments were minor. But it is an unconventional story in the sense that both MC's are not forcing each others hand, so the story evolves a bit slower, without being boring though, methinx. After all (and I am not comparing myself to Ms Austen here)  a condensed plot of the action of Wuthering Heights tells you so little about the book itself, then again maybe it does. Me needs to think about that. Actually me don't.
I need to edit and write the fr#+ä'*Ä+Ä#ing query :(
HELP??!!
