My first blurb!
My first book, Dirty Minds: How Our Brains Influence Love, Sex, and Relationships, will be available on January 3. Most days, it feels like the new year just can't come fast enough. I'm a fairly impatient person by nature so this in-between time between writing and actual publication is making me a bit twitchy.
The weirdest part? Galleys are out. I know that people, and some very important people at that, are reading the book and figuring out whether they like it or not. And I'm so curious to see what they think!
Well, the incomparable Jena Pincott, author of Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies?: The Surprising Science of Pregnancy, was kind enough not to make me wait any longer. She gave me my first blurb:
"With humor and flair, Sukel takes us through the whole human drama -- loving, hating, cheating, losing, orgasming, parenting, punishment, and reward -- and at the end we realize something truly startling: it's all in our minds."
Not too shabby! And it makes me hopeful that if an author as gifted as Jena liked it, other people will, too.
