Blur, bloop, blurbed?

One should never write one’s own blurbs.

Truth undeniable.

The simple reason being that self-promotions tend to suck; often coming out too grandiose or too modest. But what is a self-publishing author then to do? I’m sure that there are people one can pay of course to do this type of thing, but I couldn’t afford it. And besides, being the anal control freak that I am I prefer to be… you guessed it, Dear Reader, in control.

Sometimes I have a bit of help from betas but often, I write my own. (Giving one rebellious middle-finger to rules of writing, maniacally cackling.)

Dear Reader, lest you get the wrong impression of me, I am a lot more shy than appear. Why are you laughing?

All of this is, of course, my roundabout way of saying that after much agony, here it is, the blurb for Odyssey of Attachment:

 

Forgive me, but I cannot accept Lord Whysleigh’s offer.

One act of bravery leaves Lady Odyssa disowned by her father and disgraced to the London ton. Of noble birth, but without a dowry, she has little choice but to live with her aunt, destined to be the poor relation. A succession of serendipitous events lets Lady Odyssa alter her future, but leaping free from the bonds of convention requires all her trust and courage.

Taking us from elegant ballrooms, through the gruesome battlefield to the fairytale-laden landscape of the Welsh marches; this epic drama weaves Greek myths and Welsh legends into an unforgettable story, including all the elements of historical feel-good spiced with contemporary eroticism and spoonfuls of humour. 

Set in the dramatic years 1815 –16, it is an evocative story of trauma and healing; of growing from insecurity to strength, to blossoming and to forming loving attachments.

Odyssey of Attachment is the long awaited third volume of Maria Yrsa Rönneus’s Regency Tales series. Transporting you across the centuries into a world of finery and steel, poetry and politics, love and deceit, the Tales has the friendship of four young ladies at its heart.

 

What say you, Dear Reader? Is it acceptable?

With this I shall go one to finish the uploading process to Amazon.

Happy Friday!
