Today we will reverse the usual process. Instead of writing the book then selecting a cover, we’re going to pretend to write a book based on a cover image. The image to the left is your book cover. Based on the cover art, select a title for your book and write a blurb about the story for the back cover.
Most of all, have fun with it!
Trapped
Clara has been trapped in a bad relationship with an abusive husband for twelve years. When she finally gets the courage to leave instead of the freedom she was expecting, she finds herself trapped inside the house she has chosen for her refuge. It seems she had picked her house like she picks her men. Will she get out?
Nice one, Lisa!
Very good. Only problem with this writing assignment is that now I want to read the whole book!!
BURIED IN OBLIVION
Trying to escape from the dark recesses of her mind, Theresa James, leaves the hospital, the only home she has ever known. She woke up three weeks ago from a coma she had been in for over a year. The man escorting her from the hospital claimed to be her husband and was taking her to their house and children that she had no memory of.
In the weeks that follow, nothing seems familiar, not her family, not her friends, not her surroundings, not even her dog. The only memory she has is of someone that had visited her in the hospital when she first woke up. He didn't say anything to her; all he did was hold her hand.
Why couldn't she remember? Why didn't it seem like the doctors were helping her? Why did this man, that was supposed to be her husband, have so many secrets? Who was her strange visitor and why did she know deep down that she shouldn't mention him?
That sounds like a great read, Pam!
Okay, now I want to read the book!!
LEGACY
While searching to fulfill a long held dream, Sage encountered an ancient mystery. She had long desired a studio in the Madrigal Bay historical region. It was known for its wineries, sweeping vistas, and spectacular waters. But shortly after she arrived, a rogue cyclone threatened to sweep her into the sea. She tried to escape through the rundown cellar door of a remote lighthouse. The driving mist was still at her back when a scream sounded overhead, ricocheting her headfirst into the dark lair of the mystical keeper. Was this the end of her profound dream? Or was it the beginning of an odyssey of discovery and intrigue leading her to a talisman, mythical beings, and unexpected alliances?
Very imaginative! Sounds like a book. 🙂
