I continue to learn as I go, about the move from writer to “author”, and also “publisher”. My author friends tell me that even when they work with traditional publishers, a lot of this kind of detail work falls to the author.
It’s fun to imagine what an actual publicist might have written.
I also thought about writing something totally absurd, just to see who’d notice.
“Very little is known about the reclusive figure who uses the pen-name Darrow Woods. Is that strange pseudonym an homage to Clarence Darrow, the American lawyer perhaps best known for his role in the Scopes Monkey Trial, that became an arena where Creationists and Evolutionists duked it out?
Darrow Wood(s) is also the name of a park in England, owned by the National Trust, and containing the remains of one of the few well preserved small motte and bailey castles in Norfolk. The astute reader might look for references to ancient battlements in the author’s work.”
There is a church in the book that kind of looks like a castle.
I think that's a great bio!
