Famous Scribes, for Fibbing Friday

The Assignment for Fibbing Friday today is: Below are 10 titles and authors, all of which are fictitious.  This week I’m asking you to do a cover blurb in a few sentences or perhaps have an idea for a seque

1. The Missing Tent by Seymour Skye: An expose of why touring circuses are a thing of the past.

2. Making the Most of Bread by Roland Pickles: A misprint of the actual book Making the Host of Bread, which is a guide for the preparation of Protestant holy communion.

3. Living on a Budget by M T Wallit: The author’s name is a pseudonym. This is actually the title of a tongue-in-cheek book by Donald Trump.

4. Wake me at Dawn by Misty Mawning: A book ghost-written by someone pretending to be the corpse at a funeral Wake. 

5. Sing me a Lullaby by Muse Ickles:  Advice for a new mother, written as though reading the mind of a screaming baby at 3 A.M.

6. Caught in the Act by Robin Banks: Pseudonym for the real author, Donald Trump, who will as usual escape unprosecuted and unpunished.

7. The Pensioner Chronicles by Jerry Attrick: Biography of Leonardo da Vinci, so named because  Leonardo’s journals contain drawings with cross-sections of what appears to be a reservoir pen that works by both gravity and capillary action. 

8. The Scapegoat’s Revenge by Carrie deCan: Leon Trotsky’s pseudonym for his autobiography that revealed Stalin’s vile scheme to blame him for soviet economic failures and military disasters,

9. Fields of Destiny by Krystal Ball: Biography of popular twenty-first century  singing group “Destiny’s Child.”

10. The Long and the Short of It by Cyn Opsiss. Again, a pseudonym used for a sex guide written by Donald Trump. Only half fiction.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
