OK. I’m not so sure about this blurb thing. It’s hard to write one for a short story without giving it all away. And even though this short story is an erotica one, and there is some great sex scenes in it (cuz I love sex scenes ;) ). It’s the most emotional and loving story I’ve ever written.
So, because Jaye asked…and Diana seconded, here’s my first attempt at a blurb for it. What do you think? Would this make you want to buy it?
Meandros
After a car accident crushes professional dancer Tammi’s legs, she wants to give up on life. But Tom, and his steadfast love, won’t let her. When Tammi grows stronger, and is able to walk down the aisle and meet him at the alter, it feels like things are going to be “happily ever after’ for them. Until tragedy strikes once again, and Tammi struggles to find a way through it.



























I’m a total sucker for emotional angst, so yeah, I’d buy it based on the blurb ;)
As long as it didn’t end up being a touchy feely lessons in life essay instead of a rocking romance story with great sex scenes :laugh:
(I say that only because I’m fairly certain it ISN’T a touchy feely lessons in life women’s fiction type story) ;)

by Sasha February 10th, 2005 at 4:01 pmMe either. What’s that?
by Sylvia Day February 10th, 2005 at 6:47 pmOh that sounds intriguing. Thanks for the blurb.
by Jaq February 10th, 2005 at 8:34 pmOooh, I love it, Sasha!
by Suzanne February 11th, 2005 at 8:36 amPlease don’t throw things at me. I think it sounds really good until you reach the last line. I know it’s supposed to be a teaser, but something is off in that line. I’ve read it a few times and keep getting the sense something is missing. But that’s just my opinion. I think I’m the odd man out here. ;) You’ve done a wonderful job.
by Jordan February 11th, 2005 at 11:49 amNo Problem Jordan…that’s the part that made me stumble to. LOL I’m sure the people at AQ will have an idea how to help.
by Sasha February 11th, 2005 at 1:58 pmI think it’s awesome! But like Jordan, I think there’s something…off about the last line. Need punch. That’s it! :D
Otherwise, great!
by Larissa February 12th, 2005 at 7:26 amI’m sure AQ will tidy it right up. Goodness knows I’ve only had two blurbs stay as is after submitting the manuscript. LOL! :D
