blurbs #dvpit #ya #f #own -- see blog 4 blurbs

I noticed a bunch of novel blurbs on my timeline recently.  I guess I got them because I followed a whole bunch of literary agents.  I was moved to write some blurbs for my "Elves in Detroit" novel.

I realize I should have done this long ago. 

Elves in Detroit Book One

Laurielle Fleetfoot, a mildly autistic white elf, feels uncomfortable with her own people. She settles in Detroit, where she hopes to help homeless, black children.  Will her attempted generosity help the struggling city? Or destroy it?


Elves in Detroit Book Two

Billy Cartwright has been cast out of fairyland, because of his psychopathic behavior -- and turned back into a mortal boy.  Will he languish as a maladjusted human, or will he manage to change back into an elf before he reaches puberty -- when it would be too late? And if he gets back, will he kill everyone he knows?


Elves in Detroit Book Three

Mousky, a long slumbering goddess, awakens to find horrifying environmental damage.  Her violent response quickly draws her into battle with the US military.  Will she wipe out the USA or will the Detroit police and their local elf friends find a solution?

Elves in Detroit Book Four (draft)

Newly freed from her fatal, magical attraction to Officer Tom Flanagan, Laurielle Fleetfoot needs to get married before she becomes inappropriately bonded again.  Will she marry the dangerous pixie/ogre Smack who wants her? Will he succeed in decimating the great library of Illinor, which she loves and he hates? 

The goddess Mousky inadvertently frees the long buried mass murderer, Abysnow, who is eager to get revenge.  Will Laurielle, Billy, Lucy, Tom, Tanisha, Smack and the Detroit police succeed in defeating him?

The goblin, Biter, curiously befriended by the elf, Laurielle Fleetfoot, and installed in the sewers in Detroit, is finding his way into a successful business amongst humans, when the demon Marautnam seeks to enslave him.  Will he remain free? Will he succeed in his ambition to found his own hoard -- with his wife Smiter -- and become a celebrity musician?

Changeling, Lucy Cartwright, has acquired incredible god-like powers. Will her strange powers help those she loves -- or break the mulitverse to bits?

Changeling, Billy Cartwright, has fallen desperately in love with the goddess, Mousky, and she seems to feel the same way about him -- but he's afraid of her, and his history makes him fear love. Is it safe to be in love with a goddess who is carelessly deadly?  Can he reconcile his new nature as a loving adult with his longstanding friendships with a host of humanoid devouring monsters?

[Yeah, ok. This draft book has more than one story line]
