So, I’m hoping to publish Darwin & the Fate Bracelet this year.  Need to finish the editing and decide on how to do the naming. The Slumberlord Chronicles: Darwin & the Fate Bracelet is far too long.  Maybe just write it once, but refer to the volume name.  The series name will probably be noted somewhere.  Do authors skip putting series names out there?  Anyway, I wrote up the blurb for this book about 2 months ago.  Let it sit and went back to it.  Figure I would give it a test for the public.  I’m doing something entirely new as well.  Specifically, I’m having Darwin do the blurb, so it’s not going to look ‘professional’ in terms of focus and word usage.  At least, not as if the hoity toity author was doing it.  Here we go:

Hello! My name is Darwin Slepsnor and this is my first adventure.

Well, that isn’t what was supposed to happen.  Everyone in my village say I’m not very helpful or bright or useful or aware of my surroundings.  My cousin, Arlinger, is the only one who treats me like I’m not a problem.  My family loves me, but they always get mad or tell me not to do things because I’ll break something or get hurt.  That’s why I’m surprised the elder sent me and Arlinger on an important delivery to a big city.  Arlinger says they just want to get rid of us, which makes me sad.  Still, I’m going to take this mission seriously and return with a ton of stories.

At least, I would if I didn’t the thing that I wasn’t supposed to touch and it’s stuck on my arm, which itches a bit.  Now, I have magic that I’m still learning to use and control.  I may have caused a few messes by accidental castings when I tried to be helpful.  Most of what I broke should be fixable.   Look, I’m really sorry and I promise to get my magic under control.  It did help me make new friends like a brother and sister who are stuck together. There’s also this elf whose life I may have ruined or improved depending on what happens when he’s around me.  Big cities are so loud and scary that I get upset easily and panic, especially if Arlinger isn’t around.  Then, I say the wrong thing, my magic goes boom, and people in armor chase me all over the place.

Oh, does anybody know what a cult is?  I may have made one really angry and now they’re after me.  Do you think they’ll leave me alone if I apologize?
