"Blurbs are those few paragraphs that tell you what the book’s about and give you a compelling reason to buy." ~ excerpt from AuthorUnlimited.com article by Ian Chandler
In her Venice Beach hideout, everything is going wrong for Emily. She’s lost her fiancé, her nerve, and her job as disaster specialist. Now she’s stalked by an omnisexual shaman sorceress and needs a new identity and somewhere to run.
A registered letter arrives from Atlanta, prompting dreams of an ancient past. Emily is the druid priestess Awen and must save the planet—by snatching a young William the Conqueror from death.
Could the druids be the answer to Emily’s plight? Or would Awen’s destiny mean Emily's demise?
That Rebel, Olivia J. Herrell, writing as O.J. Barré
O.J. Barré is author of the Awen trilogy, an urban druid sci-fi fantasy set in 2042, steeped in current, ancient, and future history twists. Book One, Awen Rising, is to be released October 1, 2019. Book Two, Awen Storm, will be released in 2020. And the first draft of Book Three, Awen Tide, is in process.
Howdy Rebels! I've written a new back cover blurb for Awen Rising. After my last attempt, my cover artist (and author), Lauren Willmore, gave me some excellent feedback and took a stab at the blurb. I've shaped and polished, and like it better than the one I posted earlier. Thank you, Lauren!
According to my research, a good book cover blurb should present the situation, the problem, the hopeful possibility, and set the mood for the book*. I think this encompasses all four points without giving away too much. What do you think?
Unbeknown to humanity, evil reptilians scheme to conquer planet Earth. For eons, the druids and their dragon keepers have secretly squelched such threats.
Now it’s 2042 and Emily, the druid heiress, is missing.
