Okay, I did two. I stink at this. Double stink. Combined my word count still didn't make 150.
What Happened When He Left? (61 words)He couldn’t leave his New York City home nor could she leave the quaint village on the other side of the world from his. They knew one day a decision would have to be made, yet neither budged. Obermoeller positive he’d come back, peered out the 2nd story window, watching, waiting. Would the only man she’d ever love really leave her?
One Eyed Killer (62 words)
Visiting from Las Vegas Obermoeller headed down the cobblestone path—the same one that kept others inside due to the one eyed serial killer that had been spreading terror for the past six months. What lurked around the corner as Obermoeller walked the small quiet village? Would Obermoeller be the next victim or was that glass eye really from his recent surgery?
And the photo for next week's blurb taken by yours truly:
That glass eye freaks me out!, and if it's any consolation I wrote two, which took me ALL DAY!!
ReplyDeleteLynn, once again I can't see the photo on Lisa's page - could you post yours for next week on your page, please, otherwise I won't be able to participate, which would be disappointing for me at least!
Stop saying you stink - you don't!
ReplyDeleteI loved them both but the second one sent shiver down my spine - awesome blurb.
Book Blurb Friday
I agree with Ellie...you don't stink! Your blurbs are great. The first one is romantic and the second kinda creepy. That glass eye is a great "hook" to keep someone reading. Nice! And you know I LOVE the name of your main character. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you think you stink. I couldn't even think of an idea for a blurb! I love the first one, I was a bit freaked by the second!
ReplyDeleteYou all are way too kind. Thank you, I appreciate it. And Sandra, I'll post the picture - not sure where to post it, but I'll put it at the bottom of this post and then on the side bar, or if you give me your email, I'll send it to you.
ReplyDeleteLynn, you DO NOT stink! Get that out of your head. I LOVED #2 and was cracking up the whole time. I can really see #1 turning into a really good romance.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, my friend!
If I had to choose, I would probably go with the one-eyed serial killer!!! Too interesting to pass that one up. And you could "pad" your blurbs with fake quotes from reviews!
ReplyDeleteTwo for the price of one! What a double treat!
ReplyDeleteTwo great ideas for stories with just the right mix of tension and unresolved question. Well done.

I liked them both. But oh, my--who could ever resist a glass-eyed serial killer??!
ReplyDeleteYour second take had me laughing about the one eye, although I liked the romance of the first. Hmmm...I can't choose this week so I won't. Now get the negativity out of your head Lynn because you tell a story just as a good journalist would!
ReplyDeleteHey, Lynn, I like your blurbs! And great job on the photo prompt for next week!

What do you mean you stink - I beg to disagree! One-eyed serial killer got my attention right away and I'd be on the look out for this book. Also unrequited love has always gotten me...I'd like this one too.

Jenners and Ms. Daisy - thanks for stopping by. And to you, Pat, Susan, Tammy, Dominic and Kathy thanks for all your positive feedback!
ReplyDeleteSo, just when I thought, Lynn sure knows how to weave a romantic tale, you threw me up against the wall with the one-eyed guy. Never underestimate yourself. You are a good writer.
ReplyDeleteA romance AND a thriller! This prompt really got your creative juices flowing:-)
