The Dreaded One Sheet

As you can see, this week I've been working on my one-sheet. My brilliant sister helped me put this together in PhotoShop... I'm still working on getting the lighting right on the background image. I know it's a little hard to make out on here. (yes, it's a guitar player...)

Thoughts? Ideas? Confessions on what you thought the background image was before I told you it was a guitar player?

I've updated the story blurb, so this is what it now says:


A shattered past. A new beginning. But it could become his worst nightmare.

Broken glass. Blood pooled around a still form on the kitchen floor. The haunting face of the meth-addict who caused them. A man Eli will never forgive.

Seven years later and three thousand miles away, Eli still can’t hide from his past. Living with his aunt and uncle is no picnic, either. The only bright spot in his life is playing bass for his and Luke’s band. Well, and being around Sarah, Luke’s girlfriend. Then a midnight car accident changes everything. Eli’s aunt and uncle threaten to kick him out, a new guitar player divides the band, and Eli might be in over his head with Luke’s girlfriend.

He tries to make peace with everyone, but rumors of Luke’s experimentation with meth push Eli over the edge. How can he forgive Luke for becoming the man who killed his mom? When Sarah nearly overdoses, Eli has to make a choice. Does he save her or Luke?

Well? Are your hands just tingling to get ahold of the novel the second it comes out? Are you intrigued? That would mean I've succeeded. If you're not, tell me what turned you off. Seriously, help me out here. Constructively, please. :)

Fifteeen days left until the conference!!
