I’ve been playing with blurbs and eBook covers for upcoming stories (I might still tweak them later on, who knows), and here are what I’ve created so far!
About Tea & Pelicans: David moves to a quiet neighborhood where his tranquility is disrupted by an unruly acquaintance which results in his learning about plants with ulterior motives, the emotional needs of fish, and a lost pelican.
About This is What I Think of You: A detective, a vampire, and a ninja walk into a beach-side gift shop, and only one of them is there on vacation.
About Into The Bungalow (sequel to Nana Ana’s Secret Hideout): Anders and Eirik explore the “island bungalow” and become entangled in the magical world that the late Nana Ana left behind.
Boys with Buckets in the Surf (graphic novel/webcomic, issue No. 1): Ilya warily allows his dream plans to be revised by a handsome stranger. Together they grapple with inspiration and regret, and what it means to live life to the fullest.
[The cover isn’t ready for “Boys with Buckets” (issue No. 1) because I keep changing my mind when it comes to selecting an illustration that best represents the first issue and is also a good general introduction to the whole series. The ones I’ve drawn so far are nice, but they aren’t what I’m looking for.]
I like the ‘This is what I think of You’ cover and blurb very much.
Is the Tea and Pelicans image a heart? It might be more enticing if it was a question. ” How does moving to a quiet neighbourhood result in David’s discoveries of plants with ulterior motives,the emotional needs of fish and a lost pelican?” Just a thought.
You are very good to be working now. I seem to have come to a sickening halt.

Hi Julie! Yup, it’s a heart. And the blurb as a question, hmm, I hadn’t considered that, interesting.
You know, I hadn’t realized that you’ve published 7 books until just now, that’s amazing!!! If you need to take a pause after writing 7 books, I think you earned it, wow!!

No pause. I’m having a go at a short story competition. If I’m not writing or reading I’m miserable.

I love the blurb for This Is What I Think of You. It sounds likes a comic or action adventure.

Heehee thank you!! No matter how many times I tried to rewrite it, it came out sounding like the beginning of a joke, so eventually I just went with it. And, you nailed, it; it’s a comedy, and I have this habit of all of my stories eventually become adventures even when they’re not supposed to be (can’t help it, love those adventures).
