yay blurb!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Barb, forgot to ask min and max word limits. Sent a first sentence. Need that range to go on.

“Not dead yet!”
It just has to be something short and punchy-- 3-4 sentences. An elevator pitch on steroids, if you will. I'm playing with something right now as well.

“Not dead yet!”
Gar, backflung and damn, dude-- that was a rockin' first sentence.

Blurbs don't sound easy. Good luck!
I think maybe I'm close on another synopsis candidate. The author of some books my daughter likes looked over my last revision and gave me a lot of comments that I've been going through.

Erika. Don't worry: A) Not a morning person B) ~88,500 words, not expecting anything resembling next day response.
On edit: 88,500 not 84,500. Wish it were 84,500.

Because books.
Barb, doesn't your agent do the marketing letter, aka blurb?
Also, it sounds dumb, but if you can figure out an X Meets Y pitch, they do work.
