If we killed all of the book blurb formula's it would save the average bookshopper from being bored to death. #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor

Like a tradesman who never does any work around his own home, I really should get on to writing a new book blurb for my novel, Vampire Mother.

This is the type of blurb that's trending at the moment. Before and after it gets the badass treatment. #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor

A graphic that shows a quote from a book blurb, before and after it gets the Badass treatment. Before is: He is a lethal weapon trained to hunt her kind; she is the only thing standing between him and total damnation. After is: Can she save him? Does she want to? Her kills her kind, so why would the thought even enter her mind?
