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As I thumbed through great synopses written by both published and unpublished writers, I realized I knew some pretty awesome writers.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!

Up this week, Mary's Perfume by Rebecca Bruner.

Rebecca Bruner, a member of Christian Writers of the West -- the Arizona Chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers -- she is a brilliant writer. When I read Mary's Perfume, I could feel the emotion, taste the salty air, and smell the aroma as if the events were unfolding in front of me.

Here is the one liner:
+++++++++++++
Mary knew she could not prevent Jesus' approaching agony, but what could she do to express her love and gratitude to the one who was about to suffer so much on her behalf?
++++++++++++
Rebecca Bruner has done several public readings of Mary's Perfume. Keep an eye out for another one in your area.

Mary's Perfume is a story that will inspire people to have a deeper love for Jesus. If anyone is interested in ordering a copy for $5, let me know. I'll get with her and order it.

Come back tomorrow and read her promo/back cover blurb!

AUTHOR MICHELLE GREGORY IS GIVING AWAY A SIGNED COPY OF ELDALA! LEAVE A COMMENT TO BE IN THE RUNNING!

As promised yesterday, here is the back cover of
Eldala by Michelle Gregory
Kieran’s blood boils every time he hears about the abuse handed down by Teleria’s nobility. But years of hiding in his father’s smithy have taught him to avoid trouble. Content with being a blacksmith, the only disruptions in his well-ordered life are his disturbing dreams. It isn’t until his twentieth birthday, when he receives a mysterious letter and sword from King Arathor – the man who claims to be his real father – that he wonders if his dreams have become reality. If he believes Arathor, he will have a chance to end a twenty-year curse over Teleria, and free the people from King Rahnak’s oppression. But it could also mean giving up his quest to find the mysterious woman with whom he shares an intimate heart connection.

Up this week: Michelle Gregory!And her novel Eldala ~ Published in 2007 Michelle is a fellow member of Christian Writers of the West, the chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers here in Arizona. I love her passion for encouraging and cultivating other writers, especially young writers. I’ve heard her speak and she is compelling and her love for Jesus Christ is compelling.
Here is how Michelle describes herself:
My name is Michelle Gregory. I am a mom of three, married to a wonderful man, and trying to fit writing into a life filled with taekwondo, doctor appointments, church, and homeschooling my kids. Before 2005, I had no idea that I wanted to write, or that I even had a story in me. Since writing my first novel, I’ve discovered that I have many stories inside me, all clamoring for my attention.
Her first novel: Eldala was created with much help from her children, it’s a family project. You have to pick up this book.
Quote from the back cover:

You now have a choice, and it will take great courage to choose the right. From this moment on, you will be walking the path between who you are now and who you were born to be. All I’m asking you to do is let yourself make the journey. ~Arathor
