The other thing I need to do is get the blurb... sorry 'product description' written. I hate writing blurbs. Any vague skill I have with words seems to go out the window when I write blurbs. So far what I've got is this:
It’s a long, drowsy summer in the 1980s, and Alan Dean and three of his friends cross the fields behind their village to look for a rumoured WW2 air-raid shelter. Only half believing that it even exists beyond schoolboy gossip, the four boys nevertheless feel an odd tension and unease. And when they do find the shelter, and go down inside it, the strange and horrifying things they encounter will test their adolescent friendships to breaking point, and affect the rest of their lives...
A horror novella of 15.5k words, plus an author’s afterword.
Hmmm.

Hate, hate, hate writing blurbs.
Looks good to me.
Hi, James.
Spotted "The Shelter" on Amazon US about an hour ago and bought it immediately and will read some time this week.
Bests & good luck with the new story.
Thanks Tony - hadn't realised it was up yet. Still waiting for it to appear in UK...
