BLURB: The Beetle: A Supernatural Thriller Novel

Richard Marsh’s greatest commercial success, The Beetle, is a story about a mysterious oriental person who pursues a British politician to London, where he wreaks havoc with his powers of hypnosis and shape-shifting. The story is narrated from the perspectives of multiple characters to create suspense. The novel engages with numerous themes and problems of the Victorian fin de siècle, including the New Woman, unemployment and urban destitution, radical politics, homosexuality, science, and Britain’s imperial engagements (in particular those in Egypt and the Sudan).

Uh huh. Could you maybe write the description so that it DOESN’T sound like a junior high book report?

BLURB: The NICU & I

This collection of short stories, fictional non-fiction stories in which the truth is embedded, takes the reader on a journey through the early days of the lives of extremely premature infants and their families and caretakers. These are stories that are replete with examples of devotion, dedication, and love. I hope that I have succeeded in conveying the degree to which we were all moved and our lives deepened by having known these little ones, having been given the gift of being a part of their destinies.

Sorry, I kinda got high-centered on “fictional non-fiction stories.”
