You may remember that Ina asked me for a cover blurb for her latest novella. She brought me a manuscript to read, and I did indeed read about 20 pages before I had to take an antacid.
The book is going to press, and Ina needed the blurb. I knew that it had to be truthful and kind but that it couldn't make me complicit in her efforts. Here's what I came up with.
"Ina's intense love for Jane Austen shines on every page."

Good work!
Have a drink.
That's IT?
Your compassion for enthusiastic but hapless writers shines with every blurb.
Good job, P-doobie!
Good solution to the conumdrum. All of her books are self-published, yes? She was talking about sending this one to press in Canada.
