As some of you know, I'm looking to self-publish a DragonEye novella, "Greater Treasures." This will be my first foray into the self-publishing world, and I think folks are going to love the story. While it's with an editor, I'm working on the rest of the materials. I have an awesome cover, and now I'm asking your help on the back-cover blurb.

| Coming April 2013. |
After some discussion with FB friends and my buddies in The Writers Chatroom, I have come up with these. (Actually, Ann Lewis wrote #3.) Please vote on a blurb below. I'll select someone at random to receive a free copy when it comes out. Also, if you get a friend to vote and mention your name, I'll put your name in the pot a second time.
Which one would most make you buy the book?

1. In the spirit of
The Maltese Falcon comes a DragonEye story like never before.
Hitler believed the Lance of Longinus would help him conquer
the world, but could never activate its power.
Now, a modern-day Nazi with access to the Faerie would become the New
Fuehrer—and destroy any race—Mundane or Faerie—that does not match the Aryan
ideal.
Vern, a Faerie dragon of diminished power, can stop him—but
will he do it if it means sacrificing the life of his dearest friend?
2. Being a private
detective in the border town of the Faerie and Mundane worlds isn’t easy, even
for a dragon like Vern.
A simple stake-out goes horribly wrong when Vern's partner,
Sister Grace, gets shot with a poison dart--a dart, police say, meant to take
down a dragon. A beautiful damsel in
distress leads Vern on a path of lies and false hope. Meanwhile, evil men tempt Vern with a cure for
Grace--in return for an artifact with the power to rule men. Can Vern find the artifact? Which will he
sacrifice: the fate of two worlds or the life of his best friend?
3. Being a private detective in the border town of the
Faerie and Mundane worlds ain’t easy, even for a dragon like Vern. Nonetheless, when
Vern’s partner Sister Grace gets hit by a poison dart meant for him, all bets
are off! He takes the offer of a cure in return for finding an artifact with
the power to rule mankind, while a beautiful damsel in distress leads him down
a rosy path of false hope. Can Vern find the artifact, and will he sacrifice
the fate of two worlds for the life of his best friend?
