I Will Blurb Any Book Within 24 Hours! #16

Tired of waiting weeks or even MONTHS for back-cover endorsements from recognizable authors? I, Mickey Hess, will blurb any book – that’s right, ANY book – within 24 hours! Just look at these satisfied customers:

Plano Fox and Zenbar Harris’ Matriculating from Malaysia: “First off, I should mention that I don’t blurb friends. That said, Plano Fox and I have never seen eye-to-eye on things, and Harris strikes me as kind of a dick.” – Mickey Hess

Krissy Snifeld’s Bye, Bye, Virginity: “Krissy Snifeld is a clean-prosed girl with a grasp of the language. You never know whether this kind of story will work, or if the situation will knock you down and you’ll have to step away to regain your library composure. This is serious literature.” — Mickey Hess

Sam Jasper and Mark Folse’s A Howling in the Wires: “What is this book exactly? It’s enormous. Its girth and tangibility rebuke blogs. Sam Jasper and Mark Folse evidently prefer writing on paper.” – Mickey Hess

There are plenty more where those came from, trust me! Authors, contact me today at [email protected] and LET’S GET BLURBING!!!
