Thanks Andrew,
The blurb is the tip of the ice-burgh haha. I have had so many OMG - didn't see that coming. Well, neither did I for the first ten years, and then - when I thought I was done - Rebecca again beckoned from the finger tips with another twist lol.
You know, I really struggled with the synopsis for what felt like an eternity. Once the book was complete, synop was easy, quickly followed by the blurb.
Half way through 'Rebecca - Box 4 - which will mean nothing at this stage, until the first bits read ;-)
Likewise, nice blurb and a great cover to hook the reader.
For what it's worth, I have engaged local (ish) reading groups, a couple of which article on the net and in local free newspapers. That has and is working well for me. Independent word of mouth and if they like the book, they always want to meet the Author. I like talking my way through the last ten years.
Hey Buddy - momentum for us all - SteveD
