An interesting and honest discussion of blurbs. Thanks, Terry, and thanks again for blurbing two of my books, The Loyalist's Wife and The Man Behind the Marathons. Your endorsement means a lot to me and, I know, to those deciding whether to buy or not. Keep on keeping on with all you do, please!

Love the ball hockey photo Terry. I always thought the blurb an odd phenomenon unique to the literary world. Imagine if music did the same, with Bruce Springsteen blurbing the latest Bryan Adams record. It would be really odd. Why then, do we do it for books, except for tradition and that’s how it’s always been done. Interesting it’s never been proven to make a difference.

Cool idea to have rockstars blurbing other rockstars’ albums.

Such a cool part of the writing life! But I have to ask -- what's more exciting? Having another famous author blurb your book, or being asked to blurb the book of another famous author?
