Back Cover Blurb Finished ...

Whew! It wasn't easy. I never realized that a back cover blurb could be so difficult to come up with, especially if you're trying to grab the reader's attention and encourage them to read the book, all the while keeping it under 150 words. No easy task.

But, since we're talking about the old back cover blurb, I thought I would post it here for you. Hopefully, you'll be interested, intrigued, and curious. Let's see...

It’s the turn of the century, and dirigibles are the modern mode of travel. One of them is shadowing The Seahorse as it sails toward a fog-shrouded island off the coast of Peru, bringing young Richie Armstrong ever nearer to the legendary Incan treasure—and the mysterious Golden Disk.

A strange chain of events has convinced Richie that the airship is being piloted by his archrival—the greedy, oily-haired Hans Von Hisle. Although Richie has in his possession the only known map to the location of the island, would Hans even need a map to spot the island from his lofty perch among the clouds?

It’s a race against time. If Hans reaches the island first, Richie knows the Golden Disk and the precious possibility it holds for changing his past will be lost forever. But there's something else on the island—something that may change his future. And they're bloodthirsty.


Now, after reading that, if your interest is piqued, and you just simply have to read the book, it's currently available in digital format at AMAZON and at BARNES & NOBLE.

My publisher is also doing a promotional Limited Edition Print version that will be coming soon. So keep watching this blog for an opportunity to win a signed copy of a new steampunk adventure—Cannibal Island.

Musa Authors

If you're a writer or author, or maybe even a literary agent, you're probably aware of the buzz that's going on in the industry with the opening of Musa Publishing. If not, you can head over to Absolute Write and read about it. After you finish there, visit Facebook. And Twitter. The buzz is all over the blogosphere. The great thing is: It's all good! Everyone I have spoken with at Musa has been professional, courteous, and responsive.

If you haven't guessed, I'm a member of that author group, herd, flock, swarm, or whatever you wish to call it. We authors have started becoming acquainted with each other over the past week or so, and we're doing what we can to help each other out in our new family. Which is as it should be.

So here's my contribution:

1. If you are a Musa author, leave a comment with the title of your book. Also, if you'd like, leave a blurb so we know what it's about, and a release date if it isn't available yet. Link it to your website, blog, or wherever readers can get more info about it.

2. Email me with a short teaser about your book and I'll do as many posts as possible in the coming weeks. I'm thinking one post per week should give everyone a little exposure.
Finally, I hope you will slide over to the right sidebar and hit that "FOLLOW" button so we can get more readers and contributors on here. I may hit you up for a guest blog post at some point if you're interested in that.

If you're not a Musa author, but you'd like to check out the books we've written, you can go to the Musa Publishing site or search for Musa Publishing on Amazon.com
