Book Cover Blurb | WANDA PARYLA

Greetings all,

Here’s a peek at what I’ve been working on for the Chicago Down back cover blurb. I’m still working on it.

*****

Salbatora vows to honor her father’s last request: find Eliot Ness to help free her brother who was wrongly arrested for Prohibition violations. She abandons her Texas home leaving behind memories, and the living dead.

Ness isn’t the only thing Sal finds. Chicago struggles under Prohibition. While its citizens covertly indulge in spirits, a sinister darkness grows. Born of greed, it’s more disturbing than a lust for alcohol. While gangsters battle over territories, the undead have no preference as they run amok, and the Illinois governor has lost his mind to a madcap plot to corral Chicago’s mounting zombie populace.

An unlikely team, Salbatora Guerrera, Eliot Ness, and Al Capone form an unusual camaraderie as they fight the Screamin’ Mimis, as Al calls them. They develop a strategy to deter the governor’s plan which will collapse the weakened city. But can they end the evil’s terrorizing hold? When they learn how the dead sprang to life, they must strike at the source to set Chicago free. And they may not survive alive.

Chicago, are you ready for your unsung heroes? (Note: this line is slated for the front cover, as opposed to the back blurb. We’ll see.)

Here is a draft of the cover blurb for Storm Dwellers.

Five teens meet up on South Padre Island to stir up waterspouts, but after a simple spell unleashes paranormal terror on the beach, only Darcy and Lynn escape the island. They have no idea what triggered the ordeal, but soon find that the nightmare has followed them home.

An unfettered monstrosity plagues Darcy, Lynn, and their families and friends, even sending the girls’ fathers, along with police canine, Logan, howling and running for their lives during their own supernatural grapple.

After the sand settles, all they know is there is an evil creature hellbent on taking revenge upon the children of the witches, and it will take more than just Darcy and Lynn to put an end to the entity’s malignant plans.
