Thank you to those of you who were concerned.
Now, on with the show ...
The lovely Lisa at Writing in the Buff hosts Book Blurb Friday. Each week Lisa posts a pretend book cover to fire our imaginations. Our task is to write the book blurb for the back cover in 150 words or less.
Life Blood  Every millennium, a single drop of the Goddess’s blood falls to the ground, and from it, grows one blood red bloom that will grant it’s finder a thousand years of immortality. Now, deep in the Kellmar Forest, the bloom summons the favoured few who are sensitive to its sweet call, but they must hurry; the bloom will wither in just seven days. Amuk wants a cure for his dying sister Jorran wants fabulous wealth Maya wants to find true love King Varik wants to conquer the world Kari just wants to be happy. Kellmar Forest is a dark and forbidding place that threatens to destroy them all, unless they can learn to work together. Who will achieve their heart’s desire? What is the secret that will change everything? |
128 words.
... and yes, I do know what the secret is, and who it is that achieves their heart's desire!

I want to know who got it! You've hooked me Dominic!
ReplyDeleteDom, this is a great story. You really must write this book now :-) I'd read it. I love the competition between the people who have to cooperate with eachother.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tony - nice job.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is splendid - I HAVE to read this, which means you HAVE to write it!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing Dominic. You caught my interest right away. The power of that flower.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have all the characters in opposition as they search for the single bloom. The suspense is already built up in the blurb! (I took a more light-hearted approach...)
ReplyDeleteThis was well done! You have clearly given this alot of thought. I like what the petals represent.
ReplyDeleteTell us! Tell us!!! You are so mean to taunt us like this. If this book isn't already written, please stop the torture and do so.
ReplyDeletevery cool! i like it! it flows really well and has certainly sucked me in! i'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blurb, you really made me want to read the book.
