Years ago when Lisa Ricard Claro did this Book Blurb Friday, I stressed so much about it that the fun was lost. I vowed this time it would be F.U.N. I write the first thing that pops in my head (when it pops in my head). I usually fall short on the word count, but that’s okay.

THE AWAKENING

When Norma Oberdope woke up and found herself tied to the railroad tracks, she was sure she was dreaming. Norma looked into the distance and hoped and prayed that this track was not being used and that someone played a really mean joke on her for partaking of the sauce. When Norma realized she had to pee, that’s what caused the chain of events that she thought would surprise even Superman himself... in her Superman world anyway. Read to find out how Norma ended up on the tracks and if she was able to free herself when she heard the shrill sound of the whistle in the distance.

Sioux's Book Blurb Friday #3

I didn't think I'd have time to play this Book Blurb Friday thing, but I'm managing to fit it in. It is amazing what you can cram into a day when you put your mind to it. Now granted, I'm not spending much time with these because I want it to be F.U.N. When I start to stress about this word usage or that, I'm going to quit. Just saying.

Check out Sioux's blog for the details of this 150 word book blurb and give it a try.

Today's photo:

 

Here is my 76 word book blurb:

STRANDED

Lily and Logan were best friends before they could talk. Quite the opposites, they both had a stubborn streak—neither would give. When Logan insisted on having the Volkswagon van checked before their trip, Lily shrugged. Stranded in an unfamiliar country and not speaking to one another, they had no idea someone lurked beyond the bend. Would they put aside their hard-headedness and pull together—or would something else take place surprising both Lily and Logan?

And on a side note: Today my momma, if still alive, would have been 99! She's the one that helped me let go of fear to do this blog. See my first post.

I love this picture. I love old doors and this knob/handle, wow. Can I do a book blurb justice on this photo? Doubtful.

But here is my 95 word book blurb:

Beyond the Blue Door

Fear gripped Amanda. Her heart nudged her to go through the door. Her intuition hinted her world would never be the same once she passed through that door. No longer able to deny her heart nor her intuition, she pulled the door open and stepped through. Nothing could’ve prepared her for what awaited her on the other side. She remained. Now part of that special door, Amanda gently nudges others to do the same. What lies on the other side? Relive Amanda’s journey and then you too can choose to go beyond the blue door.
