Back Cover Blurb

[ffutures]

Since I ended up with a blank back page I decided to add a back cover. Does this look OK? Fonts will be a little fancier, otherwise this is more or less what it will be like. I'm very tempted to quote from the infamous Diana review, but perhaps I'd better not.


From The Author of Diana: Warrior Princess

Imagine our world…

Now imagine our world as it might be shown in a TV series made a few thousand years in the future,
and with the loving attention to historical accuracy we’ve come to expect from such TV series…
This is the world of Diana: Warrior Princess. And like other shows the producers need to expand
their audience (and their profits) any way they can. Such as an all-new spin-off show set in the same
world…

Elvis: The Legendary Tours

In a world of Gods, myths, and legends…

Exiled by his evil half-brother, the sorcerer-priest Costello, a wandering bard named Elvis roams
the world seeking a way to return to his home, the mystic Land of Grace. Armed with his wits, guns,
and guitar, and aided by his sidekicks John Lenin and ‘Senator’ Joe McCartney, his adventures really
rock!

Elvis: The Legendary Tours expands on the world of Diana: Warrior Princess, adding new
settings, new characters and gods, the Mystic Power of Music, Elvis Impersonators, the martial art of
Sudoku, and much much more¹.
* Gasp at eight adventure outlines and an eighteen-page adventure, taking Elvis from Memphis
(with pyramids) to the Earth’s core, and introducing a formidable new foe
* Marvel at six new stars and co-stars, and a supporting cast of thousands²
* Thrill to stunning special effects³
* Laugh at the author’s shameless greed

I like it (I particularly enjoyed the footnotes). I'd lose the horsies though, and replace them with something a little more Elvisey.

Hee! It's certainly entertaining, as back-cover-blurb goes.

You're right, unfortunately - that illo really is a nuisance, I'd love to use it somewhere but it isn't quite right for any of the chapters. I'll use a small version of the "Memphis with pyramids" picture instead.

That's a fun back cover blurb - if it were a print product that would definitely make me give it a longer look, so perhaps use that copy promotionally too?

If the infamous review is the one which thought it would be about the real Diana... I think a bit of selective quoting could be just the thing.

Definitely keep the shameless greed; definitely lose the gee-gees.
If you want quotes, Nyrond Enterprises can wholesale them at a very reasonable rate.

Thanks - I've quoted you!
