Little Help

The lengths I will go to avoid writing blurbs-synopsi-descriptions-etc. are legendary. Sure, I'd love to have some kinda ass-clenchingly awesome description of what my books are about. I don't. And I ain't gonna write one. BUT YOU CAN! Help me out, write a short paragraph or so about one of my books. Something that isolates and encompasses the greatitude of the story. Post it below in the comments or, if you're pen-shy, email it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . I ain't gonna pay ya cuz I'm a cheap bastard who needs every cent to maintain his drunkitude. However, yer words will appear everywhere the book is mentioned—and ya get full named credit—if ya want. Some folks are embarassed to be associated with my litrachur. I have to mail their books in a brown paper sack, and their audio downloads are labeled as The Great Gatsby.

Help me out. I mean, left to my own devices I just write "This book is funny. I wrote it. It has an alcoholic vampire and a chimp." Har! Ya see, I'm at about 1.5 million words written in twenty books and fifty short stories. I finish a book, I gotta edit it, look for typos, record it, edit out the belches, make it available for sale and then call all my readers/listeners foul names until they cruise in and buy. That's hard work, and most is done while booze-addled. Time I finish, I'm tired of fooling with that book; I'm on the next one. So, no book of mine ever gets a good description. A good blurb. Something that gives a potential reader an idea of what to expect. Help me out. I'm gonna go drink some. I may post a few chapters of Devlin 5 tomorrow.
