Here’s a short, polished product description for Jellybeaners based on the manuscript you shared:

Jellybeaners by Gene Scott is a raw, unflinching Appalachian noir that exposes the devastating grip of the opioid crisis on small-town Tennessee. Told through multiple voices—from high school valedictorians and motocross riders to grieving families and hardened EMTs—the novel paints an unforgettable portrait of a community fighting for survival against pill mills, poverty, and corruption. Gritty, lyrical, and deeply human, Jellybeaners confronts the darkness with moments of resilience and grace.

Do you want me to make a shorter, back-cover style blurb (about 2–3 sentences) or a longer product listing (like for Amazon or Ingram, around 150–200 words)?

Here’s a polished product description for The Water Remembers based on your manuscript:

The Water Remembers by Gene Scott is a gripping Appalachian noir that blends historical memory with modern environmental crime. When a toxic flood devastates Cherokee Valley, attorney Esther Blackwood uncovers evidence proving it wasn’t an accident but a calculated act of corporate murder—thirty-seven deaths written off as “acceptable losses.” As Esther risks her life to protect the strongbox of incriminating documents, she discovers the disaster is only the latest echo in a centuries-old pattern of betrayal, from the Trail of Tears to today’s boardrooms. Haunted by ancestral visions and racing against corporate assassins, Esther must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice to break the cycle.

Taut, lyrical, and deeply rooted in Appalachian landscape and Cherokee history, The Water Remembers is both a thriller and a testimony: a novel where memory refuses to drown, truth fights to surface, and the land itself bears witness.
