Given the number of authors on MR, it seems strange that one's profile doesn't provide a space to present the blurb from one or more of one's books, published or soon-to-be: a little more than a logline, the sort of thing that would appear on the back of the jacket.

I know we have the Author Self-promotions forum, but that's more for a one-off announcement of a book's availability, together with the chance to bump it when one changes the availability, price, etc.

Seems like a strange omission.
