Blurb: Lee Child's "The Hard Way"

"The Hard Way is the best book yet from one of today's top thriller writers. Put a pot of coffee on before you start reading it, 'cause this one's going to keep you up all night." -Crime Fiction Dossier

Introducing the Blurb Machine

The publishing industry is consumed with blurbs, those little quotes you see on the covers of books from Famous Authors, newspapers or magazines. I don't know to what they extent they influence consumers, but at least they look pretty on the jacket.

My reviews get blurbed fairly often, but that seems like such a roundabout way of doing it. Why not, I asked myself, just give the blurb directly and cut out the middle man?

Thus, the creation of the Crime Fiction Dossier Blurb Machine (patent pending). Every couple days, or whenever I can get the machine fired up, I'll be offering a blurb for a mystery or thriller novel.

If you're an author, publicist or publisher and you'd like to use one of these blurbs, please feel free to do so. The concept is slightly tongue-in-cheek, but the blurbs are sincere.
