the pitch::
Alexis has always experienced intense dreams. They used to be all sunshine and rainbows, but lately they’ve entered a much darker, depraved realm.

The dreams are actually visions, intended to prepare her for the truth. The reason she’s felt so different since she was a child…
Avalon, an other-world where faeries live, is her real home. Brought into the human realm when she was born, she’s lived that life for twenty-four years.
But now it’s time to venture back with her kind.

A horrible evil has been brewing — waiting just for her.
Something is killing humans and she’s the only one who can stop it.

While attempting to do so, and learn her new place in the universe, she meets up with other, helpful fae. But one shows her that their true nature is to test the limits and mess with the balance.
Will she be able to stay strong and save the humans?
And what will she do when she finds the way to protect them means subjecting some of her own to a horrible death?
She must choose between her two worlds. Which is the right choice?

    I wrote this rather quickly and had to edit it down to under 200 words for Authonomy.
    It’s still not exactly what I want, but it’s much closer than the old pitch…so it’s coming..
    As is the book!!!! =)

      I’ve already changed this… Imagine that!
      I cut it down and got rid of some ridiculous words that I’m not sure how they even got in there in the first place….
      It’s ever-changing….probably won’t be final ’til the book is.
      But at least it’s more in keeping with the book now.

      Here’s the new one::

      Intense visionary dreams transport Alexis to Avalon, the unseen world of faeries. Until recently, she believed her dreams of these magnificent creatures were simply her overactive imagination. They are now entering a darker, depraved realm, though, and are creeping into her days.

      She finds her visions are real—intended to prepare her for the truth. The reason she’s always felt so different.
      Born into Avalon, yet raised by unknowing humans, it’s now time to venture back with her own kind.

      A horrible evil has been brewing—waiting just for her.
      Something is killing people and Alexis is the only one who can stop it.

      While attempting to do so, and learn her new place in the universe, she discovers more than she wishes to know of her true self. The nature of faeries is to test the limits and mess with the balance.
      Will she be able to stay strong and save the humans?
      And what will she do when she finds the way to protect them means subjecting some of her own to a horrible death? She must choose between her two worlds. Which is the right choice?
