Is it a Blurb? Is it a Subtitle? No...it's a...

People ask us, "What's your book about?".

Right now, it's difficult to summarise it, as we're not quite finished...so who knows if a subplot is suddenly going to become just as interesting as the main plotline? Basically, we're keeping our options open and not committing to a full on this.is.our.blurb.

However, we do have a yummy little pocket of text, which would work nicely as a mini blurb, or even a subtitle to our book. Here it is...

TOO MUCH.
Four lives intertwine into a tangled web of lust, deceit and betrayal

Hope that's satisfied your curiosity for the mo'!
