As hordes of rowdies march toward Roan Castle, Minnie Murphy grabs her wedding dress, jumps on the nearest horse, and starts a thundering stampede. The villains run away! Minnie saved the day! Then she finds a priest and her cowering beau, Sir Falderall! It's City Slickers meets Camelot as the wedding goes on as planned! (The Horses of Roan)
Secret Agent Man:
When Minnie Murphy arranges her vacation in England, she has no idea she'll fall head over heels in love with Sir Falderall, an actual British knight. But fall she does, and the wedding is set for the coming Saturday, on the grounds of Roan Castle. What Minnie doesn't know is that Saturday is also the day of the Cup finals, the biggest football match in Britain.
As Minnie is about to walk down the aisle, she spots a horde of hooligans heading toward the wedding party, drunk and spoiling for a fight. Apparently their team lost. Or won; it doesn't seem to matter to Brits. No way is Minnie going to let these rowdies ruin her big day. She opens the conveniently located corral of horses, hops on the nearest one, and drives a stampede right at the interlopers. From that day forth she's known as Minnie Driver.
By the time the orchestra strikes up the wedding march, the hooligans have been trampled to death and Minnie is back in her place in the procession, none the worse for wear, except for the horsehair all over her gown. But where's Sir Falderall? Seems Minnie's beau disappeared at the first sign of trouble, and hasn't been seen since.
The Horses of Roan is the first book in my series featuring Minnie Murphy, a heroine who always gets her man, but never quite gets him to the altar.
Thank you for making it to the end of my query.
Sincerely,
Evil Editor

I'm reminded of that Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon and Eggs breakfast THING...
Minnie Driver starred with Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting" and Matt Damon is Jason Bourne and as we all know, Jason Bourne is damn near indestructable and unstoppable.
So beware EE, Jason is coming for you.
;)

Brilliant.
I didn't know romantic comedy was your genre. You've come a long way, baby.
"She opens the conveniently located corral of horses, hops on the nearest one, and drives a stampede right at the interlopers. From that day forth she's known as Minnie Driver."
Oh yeah. I'm so glad you're a smartass.
When you publish this one, EE, then we'll know who you are.
Good one! Love the convenient horse corral.
Love the football/soccer tie-in. But, come on, EE--trampled to death? You surely need to play the gore down a little bit in the query, LOL.
I also liked this as romantic comedy!!
Loved the last line. I might 'borrow' it! heh heh!
:-)
Continuing the theme of always the bridesmaid, never the bride, eh? I like the idea of an entire series of books involving a woman who falls madly in love and plans to marry within days, but whose plans are always thwarted.
I love the idea of such a series. I'd never actually read it, of course.
