I’ve been blurbed!
Posted By CarrieK on June 16, 2009
My review is quoted in the front section of the paperback edition of Peter David’s Tigerheart! I am so excited. Several months ago, the publisher asked if they could “blurb” me, and I agreed, but didn’t want to say anything until the book actually came out, in case it didn’t happen. I knew the paperback wouldn’t be out for a while, and I promptly forgot all about it.
Tonight on Twitter, Amy asked if any book bloggers had been “blurbed,” and it reminded me. I clicked over to Amazon, clicked on the paperback edition, clicked on “Search Inside,” and searched for my last name – and it showed up! (My last name is Kitzmiller, if you want to see it, too.)
Anyway, I hope this doesn’t sound like bragging, but I had to share it with all of you because I’m positively giddy with excitement over it. I think the only thing better would be to see my name on the cover of a book – a book that I wrote. 
Congrats, Carrie! That’s so exciting!
Congratulations, Carrie! That’s wonderful. I went over and checked it out for myself.
So exciting!
That is so great! How exciting for you. And it is not bragging. We’re all happy to hear the good news. Well, and maybe a little jealous too
How cool! And your blurb is just below the one by Bill Mumy, the actor
.
Congrats, Carrie! I agree with Stacy, it’s not bragging!
Go ahead and brag, you’ve earned the right to. I’m happy for you. That’s quite a coup for a blogger.
You have every right to brag – well done! How very exciting for you
That is really exciting! That’s a real show of respect, to put you in a blurb; what an accomplishment. The second best thing after a book of your own, I agree!
Congratulations! That is so exciting! That is what book blogging is all about!
How exciting, Carrie! It’s not bragging at all – congratulations!
Congratulations Carrie!!
Congrats! What great fun! And I must say that I thought it was a great blurb!
How exciting!! Congratulations to you! I’m heading over to amazon now to read your blurb!
Woo Hoo!!!!!!!
That’s awesome! You should be bragging about it as much as you want, after all things like that don’t happen on a daily basis. Congratulations!
Way cool!
That is so cool! Some things are worth bragging about, and this is definitely one of them. And of course, we want to know–that way we can brag about you too.
So exciting!
Thanks, everyone! I knew my fellow bloggers would understand how completely excited I was about this.
That’s really cool
That beats mine, I was blurbed on Nam Le’s website, you’re in print and it can’t be erased! Awesome!
Kool Aid Mom – what’s the link to your blurb so I can check it out?
That’s wonderful, Carrie. Congratulations!
Congratulations!! That’s so exciting!

Congrats Carrie! Very Cool!!!
congrats…what a great honor.
Are you kidding? If I got “blurbed” I would tell everyone! I’d read the book in public just to see if someone asked me about the book so I could point out my quote in it! Hey, if I can’t be the author, at least I am in print somehow, right? Maybe humble isn’t my finest quality…:)
Congrats, Carrie. That is beyond exciting. I am so, so happy for you!
Rebecca – that “read the book in public” idea isn’t half bad!
That is so wonderful! You write such great reviews – I’m sure this is just the first of many to come!
Belle – thank you.
