Writing a log line or a pitch is a skill most authors struggle to master. I know I haven’t, and I’ve studied them for years. But some people really have the art down. So, I thought that once a week I would post one of the back material/pitches/log lines–old or new–that worked on me. Maybe you’ll agree. Maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll buy their book.

This one looks very interesting to me.

Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere… else.

But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.

Meet Nancy, cast out of her world by the Lord of the Dead; Jack and Jill, each adopted by a monster of the Moors; Sumi and her impossible daughter, Rini.

Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect.
