Writing the blurb of my novel was the greatest hassle I’ve had to deal with! Funny thing is, if I had to re-write anyone’s blurb, I’d do a much better job than writing my own. When you’re so involved, you can’t see the forest because of the trees, and that’s the stage where I’m at (momentarily). Grateful for any suggestion, re-write or advice on the subject matter.
Here’s what you should know before reading my resemblance of a blurb:
Novel info: New Adult, Paranormal Romance. Fiction Audience: mostly women 16-40+, fans of women’s fiction, superpowers, etc. Focus: There’s as much focus on the romance as there is on the story, adventure, etc. If I take the romance out of the story, it wouldn’t completely collapse, but it wouldn’t be as fun as it is now.
Last but not least, Thank you!
A: A new Interplanetary Allegiance ambassador on an Earth bound mission. Five genetically altered humans to be rescued. Meeting her changed everything / And then, there was her.
Zoey, Sam and Emma get the cold shoulder the very same week, dumped by their boyfriends, served divorce papers, the works. While dealing with the royal mess that is heartbreak, twenty-four year old Zoey discovers that she’s been genetically altered with enhancements foreign to her world.
B: Twenty-four year old Zoey doesn’t have the time to mope over her recent breakup and deal with the royal mess that is heartbreak. Not when she finds out she’d been genetically altered with enhancements foreign to her world and she has no idea what she’s now capable of. (not when)The one who delivered the news was none other than Jasper, the new Interplanetary Allegiance ambassador, who 24 hours ago was only her very attractive yet weird downstairs neighbor. When the Interplanetary Allegiance sent former Ambassador Etienne to shield and record the progress of primitive Earth, no one expected him to derail from his duty and side with Professor Trenton Beck to alter humans for a purpose still unknown. Jasper’s mission on Earth was clear: capture fugitive Beck and retrieve the remaining altered survivors. But then, there was her.
