Leap of Faith Celebration - Day 1

It's release day! Leap of Faith is now available for purchase. I'm going to be celebrating all week. Make a comment any day this week and I'll enter your name in a drawing to win any electronic title from my backlist. If 10 people comment, I'll pull five names. If 12 people comment, I'll pull six names. I suck at math, but I think that might mean you have a 50% chance of getting a free book.

Let's do a Mad Libs sort of thing today.

Think of:

• a period of time
• a name
• a verb
• four nouns
• an adjective

Put your answers in the comments and I'll insert them into the mini-blurb for Leap of Faith and post the (hopefully hilarious) results tomorrow.

Video Madness!

I have become obsessed with this game. It's so much fun. The music is fun. The graphics are beautiful. You can't get bored because here is always something new, even after you beat the game. Crazy Dave is hilarious.

You don't want to start playing. Really. It's addicting. But if you feel the need to ignore my warning, go here to play for one free hour.

Thursday 3: $1000 Spree

The real meme is to do Thursday 13, a list of any 13 things you want. I only do three. Sue me.

If I had an extra thousand dollars to spend, here's what I'd get:

1. The Wii game system ($250)


2. The Wii Fit ($100)


3. The Kindle 2 ($400)





I'd even have $250 left over.


What would you buy?

5 Letters Game #1

I saw this game on the Liquid Silver Books forum and it's fun, so I thought I'd give it a try on my blog. I post five random letters and you try to construct a sentence with words that begin with each letter.

Example: URFPL

Understanding roles fuels personal lubrication.

You then offer five different letters for someone else.

This week's letters: YJMSN
