This is the shortest blog post I’ve ever written and may ever write.
How do you describe a whole novel in one sentence? Here’s my one-liner for BIRD FACE:
Anonymous sticky-notes, a scheming bully, and a ruined summer send almost-fourteen-year-old Wendy Robichaud down a trail of secrets and self-discovery.
I challenge all you writers to do that for your novel or work of nonfiction. Please post your one-liners in the comments. Let’s learn and have some fun!

Thanks for sharing those, Rachel. I see you’ve made Allura’s story even more interesting by having her battle her own sister over the guy–a battle for his life! I look forward to the book’s publication.

Thanks for participating, Beth! Did you already have that tucked away somewhere to pull out if requested? I didn’t write one until I was forced to, but it sure helped me ascertain what my story was really about.
