Purple background with wisteria, a tuning fork, and gold, magic waves. Text reads: Pitch. Being the gods' lackey isn't new for 15-year-old Mia Miller, an anxious girl with musical powers. But when a quest with her BFF leads to a book where she's the MC, Mia must fight to take back her secret before Olympus finds out.

Same background. Comps. Three photos of books/movies. 1. The Lost Hero. Text reads: Aged-up Riordan, quest with BFF. 2. Fire with Fire. Text reads: Southern Fantasy, anxiety rep. 3. The Truman show. Text reads" Crumbling worldview, is my life real?

Same background. Snippet. "My eyes roved upward to those stage lights, like maybe the gods were above the crowd down below, watching the band play while dust particles danced, sparkling like glitter int he blaze of their glory. I let my magic out, let it brush up against the music before wrenching it back with a quick glance at the ceiling. Always watching. Always judging. I shut my eyes. Those assholes."

When Mia's quest gets derailed by a tell-all book about her semi-goddess life, Mia must choose between finding the author to recover her secrets, or salvaging her failed quest for the gods.
Neither option is looking good.

Slide 2 of my agent's guide to The Ghost of Avalon. Slide titled "The Intrigue."
At five years old, Avalon was betrothed to a prince. At fourteen, she was forced to fake her own death. Now, five years later, she must come back to life to save the only man who knows sheโ€™s still alive--the king who had a hand in her supposed death.

Slide 3 of my agent's guide to The Ghost of Avalon. Slide titled "The Plot."
When Avalon uncovers a plot to murder the royal family, she must return to the castle she fled under the guise of death to save the only man who knows sheโ€™s still aliveโ€”the king who had a hand in her supposed death. With the help of a pesky armored guard whose face sheโ€™ll never admit to wanting to see, Avalon must search out clues and implant herself in the affairs of visiting nobility in the hope of discovering who wants the royal family dead. When she discovers the current threats tie back to the death she faked five years ago, she must expose the person responsible for the ghosts who haunt her past and the current murder of a castle servant before death finally comes back to claim her for realโ€ฆor she ends up married to a prince. She canโ€™t decide which is worse.
