    Sounds like the ultimate in "incestuous" blurbs!

    G.M. Ford blurbed his wife Skye Moody's latest book. Does anyone else know of other couples "in the business" doing this?

    And I've always wondered whether Stephen King was tempted to blurb Joe Hill's HEART-SHAPED BOX.

    All the Best-
