Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday #84 "Awtum was Her Name-O"

Blog buddy Sioux is hosting Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday. I have 150 words to convince you to fake-buy my fake book. This week, Val brings you the biography of a youngster who surely has several more books in her. That's fake-book longevity for Val! Fake-read about this living doll and her skyrocketing career in song-and-dance. She's wise beyond her years, and has already offered Val some marketing tips for her next fake book. You can get the next one (title as yet unknown) for half price if you fake-buy this week's fake book!

Awtum was Her Name-O

Awtum Leeves is AWESOME! She's a tap-dancing dynamo in high demand at fall festivals. From the day she was born, to a solid round of  "Aw..." from those in attendance, Awtum's mother knew she was destined for greatness. Awtum's tiny feet tapped out a rhythm before she even left the womb. Now she's on the road to stardom.

Awtum is sweeter than a Sugar Maple, and more colorful than a Rainbow Eucalyptus. She thrives in the spotlight, and has taken up deforestation as her cause. Will Awtum's campaign to save the forests attract the ire of loggers and construction contractors? Has her high profile put her safety out on a limb? (110 words)

Fake Reviews for Val’s Fake Book

A Tree, falling in the forest with no one there..."Listen! Listen to me! Can anybody hear me? Thevictorian must be whacked before she wastes any more trees for these blighted fake books of hers!" 

Bonsai Tree..."This author is stunted, with little writing talent. No amount of editing can shape her work into anything resembling beauty."

Quaking Aspen..."Shiver me timbers! This fake book makes me pale at the though of this fake author producing another such atrocity."

A Tannenbaum..."My lovely branches are certainly not green with envy over this fake author's fake book. Her editor didn't do enough chopping, I fear."

Hemlock Tree..."A tea made from my leaves is perfectly safe. Just ask Wikipedia! You'll certainly find better quality writing there than on the fake pages of Thevictorian's fake book. Anybody want a few of my leaves to make that tea for Thevictorian? As a goodwill gesture, of course. Even a hack needs to hydrate. I bear her no ill will for poisoning the pool of fake book writers."

Weeping Willow..."Alas, if only I could shed real tears of sympathy for anyone who fake-read this fake book!"

Oak Tree..."I'd give my left acorn to never hear of Thevictorian again!"

Sycamore Tree..."Too many reviewers try to sound as if this fake author is actually readable. I, for one, have the balls to throw shade, to be the hatchet man, and announce that Thevictorian needs to make like a tree and leaf the literary world!"
