I stutter and mutter and come out with:
(Danny Boy) It's about a girl and her disabled best friend.
(The Hunter) It's about a serial killer on his latest kill.
(The Boy) It's about the boy from The Hunter - the one who's mum died?
(The Entity) It's about a ghost.
I did it again today, I told someone I was working on two new books... 'Oh, what are they about then?' (Groan!). My response? 'One's about a woman who dreams about her own death, then the dream starts to come true. The other one's about a girl who literally leaves a piece of herself behind with people she loves when she leaves - then she fades.'
What? Seriously??!!! Who'd want to read these, let alone pay money for them?? Ha ha!
Note to self: MUST work on how I verbally 'sell' my books to people!
