Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday #18

I skipped a week, but it's baaaack! Blog buddy Sioux is hosting Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday. I have 150 words to entice you to fake-buy my fake book.

Since I failed to produce a novel last week, in favor of staying busy not-writing my pitch for the All Write Now Writer's Conference pitch sessions...I shall forego my usual begging for your fake purchases, and treat this as an authorly exercise. Whatever that means.

 Here's my logline: Fifty Shades of Grey meets Lady and the Tramp.

And my pitch: A prissy bitch pursues a laid-back pug who is not all that into her. With the aid of toys and treats, their passion grows to off-the-leash proportions.



Fifteen Shades of Fur

Buster is a simple fellow. He spends his days chasing his kinky tale, and falls into his bed exhausted each night to lick himself to sleep. He has no idea that his wealthy neighbor next door has been watching him frolic on the porch, getting to KNOW his fluffy squirrel and skunk toys in the biblical way. Or that she has been practicing how to squeak in ecstasy.

FiFi has her sights set on Buster. Afraid she isn't his type, she spares no expense to doll herself up in a coat of just two colors. With her rabies-tag bling and Canine Anus #5 perfume, she escapes through her doggy door for a night on the yard. Buster's yard.

Will FiFi teach Buster how to bury the bone? (127 words)

    1. By that, I will assume that you are a cat person, and decline to extend your claws...

  3. Kathy--You went way beyond what I tried to do. (The post and link is FINALLY up. Sorry.) I'm glad I wrote mine before I read yours... Otherwise, I might have given up before I even started.

    1. I have a penchant for going TOO FAR!

      Perhaps, Madam, you would have given up because the heat from your flaming red face, flushed with embarrassment from reading my ribald tale, made your eyes water so that you could not see your keyboard.
