Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday #14

Blog buddy Sioux is hosting Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday. I have 150 words to entice you to buy my fake book. Come over to the fake dark side, and read a fake tale of intrigue, about a lady who would like to get rid of her husband. Let the record show that Val's fake books are PURE FICTION. So pure, in fact, that I could start an ad campaign and use that Pure Michigan announcer. Yes. Fiction. No need to bookmark this fake book blurb, or take notes on the back of a napkin with a dull, stubby golf pencil in case the police decide to interrogate you in the near or far future. Cough up that money now. Let's get Val's fake book on the fake NYT Best Seller List.

Thar She Blows!

Marge Blunderson can’t take it much longer. She married for better or for worse, ‘til death did her husband part. Marge is ready for the parting. Her betrothed never mentioned his fishing addiction. The evening of the wedding, rather than carry Marge over the honeymoon threshold, Cappy A. Hab grabbed a fishing pole and headed for the lake.

Marge saw how it was going to be. She was amazed that Cappy found time to put a bun in her oven. His prosthetic leg doesn’t slow his fishing obsession in the least.

Marge has reverted to her maiden name. Her career in law enforcement taught her that a woodchipper is not an option. Cappy says catfish will eat almost anything. Cappy is not long for this union.

Will Marge start fishing as a hobby? Will she ever have a shortage of bait? Will she remember to buy a fishing license? (149 words)
