Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday #90 "The Dog Leaps in On Little Croc-ed Feet"

Blog buddy Sioux is hosting Back-of-the-Book-Blurb Friday. I have 150 words to convince you to fake-buy my fake book. Sit back. Take your shoes off. Unless they're CROCS, of course! The most comfortable foot-protectors ever invented. The star of this week's fake book. You know you want it! There's nothing better than wearing a pair of Crocs--unless it's reading about them!

The Dog Leaps in On Little Croc-ed Feet

Pick Pickerson, a thief on a mission, needs stuff to sell or pawn, to feed his hoarding habit. He doesn't want the valuables, only to convert them to money, for bargains at Goodwill, flea markets, and auctions.

Pick likes to be comfortable on the job. He dons his size-8 quick-Pick shoes before heading out for break-ins each night. The gently-used brown Crocs he got (legally) at Goodwill are much kinder to his feet than the $1000 shoe inserts from The Good Feet Store. Almost as good as the camouflage Crocs he wore out last week.

Last night Pick had to beat feet to escape an over-eager watchdog. Funny how that dog didn't bite him. It jumped out of a shadow and pounced on Pick's Crocs, chewing like there was no tomorrow. The 47th incident of such an attack. Will Pick switch footwear to avoid future close encounters of the canine? (150 words)

Fake Reviews for Val’s Fake Book

The Good Feet Store..."We highly recommend these Crocs for anyone with a $1000 in their pocket. Thevictorian's fake books, however...we don't recommend to anybody. Not even for a cut of the action."

Old Baby Blue Sweatshirt belonging to Val Thevictorian..."I find these shoes to be a good accessory to ME! I look really good in comparison. This author, on the other hand, has nothing to make her look good in comparison. She IS the comparison. Val Thevictorian is the Croc of the literary world. She'll make you sweat as you read her, and unable to rid yourself the stink afterward."

Nancy Sinatra..."These Crocs are made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do. Walk right past this fake book's shelf and save fake money for you!"

Blue Suede Shoes..."Step on these filthy foot vehicles all you want, just as long as you stay offa ME! Thevictorian makes me blue. With her pseudo-writing."

George Costanza..."Crocs are even frowned upon by people who know that draping themselves in velvet is socially unacceptable...but do it anyway. I'm pretty sure Thevictorian's fake books will never be taken into a bookstore bathroom. They're not even good enough to fake-read on the toilet."

Rebecca DeMornay down at the Homeless Shelter..."Thevictorian's fake books may not be toilet books, but people STILL keep bringing them here. The homeless don't want Thevictorian's fake books! Even muffin stumps and chicken skins and lobster shells are more palatable."
