To get this show on the road, here's the Novel in a Nutshell (Knight Agency contest) version of Overamped, otherwise known as Joey's novel:
"Pro snowboarder Joey Talmadge over-rotates a backside rodeo in the halfpipe, crash-landing his collarbone and his season. Life seems determined to keep him from coming back: his beloved grandmother is seriously ill, one best friend falling deep into addiction and the other recovering from a failed suicide attempt, not to mention the alcoholic sister, the neurotic parents, the brother doing hard time for killing his wife -- and now Joey's girlfriend is pregnant. He'd be crazy to inflict his dysfunctional world on a helpless kid, even crazier to try to bring a family into the freewheeling slopestyle life, but if he doesn't figure out some kind of balance, he's going to crater the most important hit of his life."
Now I just have to keep polishing while I wait to find out if they choose me!
