A blurb is a short description of a book or film for promotional purposes. They're devilishly difficult to write (though not as bad as a synopsis!)Talking of blurbs here's the one for my new romantic comedy, Firestarter, which is available to 'pre-order' now and will be released on 5th November.
Alice
has a fantasy. It starts with being rescued by a hunky fireman,
involves the kiss of life and ends in him not needing his uniform. At
the New Forest Show, Alice is offered an innocent version of her
dream. Reluctantly she turns down fireman Hamish's invitation.
Despite
Alice's blameless behaviour, boyfriend Tony's obsessive jealousy
kicks in. Hamish wants to take Tony's place, but a hoaxer ensures
Alice already sees far too much of Hampshire Fire Service. The threat of an explosive sprout surprise, her mum's baking, sister Kate's mind
boggling pep talks and the peculiar behaviour of Alice's boss Miles
provide distractions.
Is
Alice really in danger? What is Kate up to? Can Hamish possibly be as
perfect as he seems? It takes Alice masses of wonderful food,
disgusting wine, smelly mud, red footed crows and steamy Welsh
passion, but she finds the answers. And rethinks her fantasy.
And talking of promotion ... you can find all the details of my blog tour here.
