Just when I'm trying to figure out how to send back my story version with all corrections present, this will be my 3rd attempt of sending this back. Then the book publisher sends an email telling me to cough up a back cover paragraph describing the book and me. No wonder I'm so bitching lately when people ask for favors. But I can't tell anyone what is bothering me because no one knows I'm doing this. If I do, I know it will be: So is it done yet?
I read the back of a few books to see what they say. So far , I came up with:
Written for a beloved teenage niece, The Hermit tells a story of a hero who fell from grace reciting his autobiography to three boys demanding to know why he can't erase all the evil in the world. The Hermit stages of life in a world when mermaids and fairies were real. Back when people worhipped gods and goddesses of nature and commerce. A time when kings creating empires respected sorcerers and witches while their soldiers discovered iron weapons. This is a story of a foretold hero rising to fame in his homeland, falling in love, and losing everything he ever cared about. Will he rise from the ashes of sorrow and fight another day?
And for the author's paragraph:
Jordan Harvey loved reading stories to her nieces and made up a few of her own. Her debut novel chronicles much of her own life from a childhood full of hope to a twenty-something struggling to make ends meet. Now living in Des Moines, IA with two cats named Precious and Frodo, Jordan Harvey writes stories in her spare time for a wider audience.
