Getting blurbs for the back cover of your book is always a daunting assignment. You have to email people out of the blue, many of whom you\u2019ve never spoken to before, and ask them to read your book and say nice things about it. It\u2019s a big ask! But I\u2019ve been so lucky over the years to have amazing endorsers for my books, and Never A Sidekick<\/em> is no exception.<\/p>\n

First up, we have Babs Tarr, the artist of the iconic Batgirl of Burnside<\/em> run from a few years back. Her artwork ushered in a new, modern, fun era for Batgirl that redefined the character after all the darkness of DC\u2019s early New 52 years, and the success of her work was a key step in DC lightening the tone of the line more broadly. Here\u2019s what she has to say about Never A Sidekick<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s a huge honour to have such an iconic artist speak so highly of my book, and I\u2019m endlessly delighted that she enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s other endorsement comes from Jill Pantozzi, a pop culture writer you may know from The Mary Sue <\/em>or io9<\/em>. Jill\u2019s an amazing writer, particularly when it comes to Barbara Gordon and Oracle especially. A wheelchair user herself, Jill has written eloquently about what Oracle has meant to her, drawing from her own personal experience to showcase the impact of the character. As soon as I started this project, Jill was at the top of my list for dream endorsers, and her blurb is very kind:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Such high praise from someone whose writing I respect so much is humbling indeed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a lucky fellow to have these amazing endorsements, and my thanks go out to Babs and Jill for their time and kind words! I\u2019ve been talking up the book lots, but now that Babs and Jill have said it\u2019s good you have to buy it, really. They know what they\u2019re talking about! Just one week left!<\/p>\n
