AMERICAN TWIRL
by Kim FLores
Author of GAMMA GLAMMA
(Young Adult)

With her mother dead and being left alone by her alcoholic father with little means, a teen Latina must live with the people she hates, endure a sport she left, save her dog while trying to control her "cutting" and not fall in love.

***********
Synopsis:
Most of her life, Francine "Blaze" Fuego has been blazing her own trails. At age eleven, she renounced the world of competitive twirling when she sent her batons crashing through a set of glass doors.

At twelve, Blaze was charged of setting fire to a football field.

Now at fifteen, Blaze is ready to start her freshman year.

But things in Blaze's life start to spin out of control when her father leaves and she and her older sister are left to fend for themselves.

And when Blaze's twirling champion sister, Belinda Fuego is injured and can't compete in a regional contest, the older sister loses a chance to bring in money and must convince Blaze to take her place.

The only problem is the Fuego sisters have never gotten along after their mother's death.

Now, in less than a month's time, Blaze wonders if she can lose enough weight and endure grueling workouts all while forced to live and train with people she hates. And she wonders if she can keep it a secret that's she's a chronic cutter especially from the boy she loves.

For anyone who has found themselves on the outside and is burning up on the inside, American Twirl is a story of pain, passion and having the courage to face fire in order to ignite your life.

I work in all aspects of the entertainment industry. In regards to publishing,I don't have a particular genre that I like more than others. I simply like good books that will find a place in the market. I am, however, drawn to projects that may be ripe for film, tv or theatre adaptations.
