WICKED WEDNESDAY
Lots
of wicked going on today. Did some outside work and it’s Wicked Hot here in
Arizona. In fact, it’s been a Wicked Hot summer so far.
I
should be working on my back-cover blurb for my next release, The Deep Well of
Love and Murder, book five in the series, but I’m Wickedly Avoiding it. I’ve
completed the first draft, sent it off to my critique partners, and they’ve
responded. The Wickedly Avoiding part is my stalling looking at their
suggestions and finishing it up. You can guess, blurbs are not my favorite
writing task. Condensing the entire book to 150 enticing words is Wick-Hard.
Want
to help me achieve a little more wicked? I also need a tagline. Now here’s the
wicked part…cheating with a bit of help from you. The object of a tagline is
also to entice, to give a reader just enough about the story that they can’t
resist reading more.
Here’s
what I have for my rough drafts:
A vengeful
ex-husband isn’t the only obstacle to happiness for Laura Katz and Randy Silva…a
high stake, bloody fight for his land puts them at risk.
A vengeful
ex-husband isn’t the only obstacle for Laura Katz and Randy Silva…a high stake,
bloody fight for his land threatens not only their happiness, but their
survival.
Do
either of these appeal to you? Any suggestions?

I shudder each time I have to do a blurb. I thought it would get easier with each book. Ha! Your second blurb flows and drew me in immediately, Brenda(in my humble opinion). Wishing you all the best! Keep us posted on the final outcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary. I managed to get a 150 word blurb done. This one liner twisted me up more. I like the second one the best too.
