BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER
BACK COVER BLURBS
I’m studying “back cover blurbs” and short one line synopses. The goal of this research started out egocentric really. I needed to know all I could about good summaries for back covers, because I want an outstanding back cover blurb for my work in progress.
As I thumbed through great synopses written by both published and unpublished writers, I realized I knew some pretty awesome writers. Thus the idea for this series was born. Why not share these great writers with everyone? Why not dive into conversations with the great writers I know and soak in the knowledge!

I'm so excited to spotlight Kat Heckenbach. I met Kat Heckenbach through another ACFW member. A kindred spirit, Kat and I, both in Jesus Christ and in Fantasy/Science Fiction.
Kat Heckenbach is a freelance writer, homeschool mom, and magna cum laude graduate of the University of Tampa (Biology). Her short fiction ranges from light-hearted fantasy to dark and disturbing. You can enter her world and learn about her novels and other writing at www.findingangel.com and www.kat-findingangel.blogspot.com.
The recent Kat Heckenbach good news is that Christian Fiction Online Magazine published her piece EYES ON THE HILLTOP
The BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER, however, is spotlighting her premier novel FINDING ANGEL.
Below is a little teaser for FINDING ANGEL by KAT HECKENBACH.
"If magic were real—and on Toch Island it is—it would have nothing to do with (as Severus Snape says) “foolish wand-waving and silly incantations,” and everything to do with stretching the boundaries of physical laws.
But would your abilities be genetically determined?
Or…are they part of your soul?"
Intrigued? Come back tomorrow and read the "back cover blurb" for FINDING ANGEL by KAT HECKENBACH.

If you've read my blog more than just a couple times, you won't be surprised WHEN THE SKY FELL is up next in this 2009 summer series. I've posted a lot about this novel and the authors: MIKE LYNCH and BRANDON BARR - (click on their names to read more about them and their blogs)
Click here to read my initial review of the first two chapters.
I'm reading this book and I'm starting to get endeared to the characters and the pages are making me want to know what's going to happen next.
WTSF is pure science fiction with lots of techy stuff! There is plenty of passages that make one think of the Great God who created this earth and the skys and stars and the planets. The characters face big decisions that make them reach down and ask themselves: What kind of person am I?
Here's WTSF's great oneliner:
Since the dawn of time, an ancient evil has sought complete and unquestioned dominion over the galaxy, and they have found...us.

Hooked? Come back Wednesday for WHEN THE SKY FELL'S back cover!
