Blurb I recently wrote (for a How-to on a familiar but surprising subject)

Like everything else in life, blurbs have editors, so not everything you write gets published.   

Some of the books I've read and blurbed might surprise you, such as this one (on a familiar subject, but a surprising one for a book):

You've Been Pooping All Wrong  by Dr. Trisha Pasricha (who I first encountered some years ago).

 Here's my blurb as it appears on the book's web page: 
An entertaining and instructive book.”

  Here's the full blurb that I wrote

"Dr. Trisha Pasricha has written an entertaining and instructive book, in very plain language, about how our bodies turn inputs into outputs, along with tips on managing that. Along the way she writes equally clearly about the emerging, polysyllabic field of neurogastroenterology, which studies the lifelong, two-way conversation between brains and guts.

"My needs in life are simple, I want three things maybe four...a little love, just enough to eat, a warm place to sleep, and everything I write should be published"
