(The hook)
Liz Taber’s wish for guests is about to come true, and she gets more than she hopes for when her dead ancestors use her art as a portal from the underworld. She discovers a family secret that began in 1885 after a brutal rape and the murder of a child.
(The problem)
An evil entity plagues the Taber family dating back to the fatal event which to this day returns from the depths of hell to seek revenge.
(Resolution)
Liz’s journey begins with her obsession of ancestry research, and unveils the bond, an inherited duty to the family. She is faced with a choice of fulfilling the secrecy or expose the truth to end the curse.
Her choice will affect the living and the dead.
There it is, my first draft of my book’s blurb.
I find it more difficult to write the blurb than to create an entire novel. I focused on key words to set the tone of the book, secret, revenge and curse to name a few. Left some questions for the reader who may want to seek an answer. What family secret? Who killed the child in 1885? Is that the person who returns from the depths of hell? If so, who is the revenge on? Why?
