I browsed through several James Lee Burke novels the other day. I'm the type that reads all the extra stuff on a book: back cover blurb, inside flaps, author bio, dedications, copyright info, reprint info, list of other novels, acknowledgements and prologue. Here are a few words and phrases used to describe Burke's writing. I couldn't help but wonder if even one could be used to describe my own.
How about yours?

Those are great words. If they were said about my writing, I would jump for joy.
"Lacerates." Now there's one I'd like to be used to describe my stuff.
WOW - very powerful!
