You’re probably wondering why a blurb, which isn’t needed until you’re ready to publish, is something I include in a story bible, which I create before I start writing even the first book in the series.

Hi Marcia, thanks for finding this gem. Wish I had it when I published The Heart of Applebutter Hill. Itâs a mind expanding post and right in line with the SEO stuff Iâve been trying to learn.
