Are you ready to win a book? Or three? It's time for Writerly Wednesday!
Writerly Wednesdays here are for readers and writers. Get to know authors, test your human lie detector skills, and WIN books.
Okay, who's ready for the winner of last week's game? Pk Hrezo shared two truths and one lie about herself and those who guessed the lie correctly were entered into a random drawing to win a copy of her awesome book, Butterman Time Travel, Inc.
The options were:
1. Pk Hrezo loves broccoli stems, but abhors celery.
2. She adores country music.
3. She hates nail polish.
And the lie is:
#2. Although an admitted red-neck, she can't get into country music. She insists celery is evil and will not wear nail polish because it's unnatural.
Erin Albert is an author, editor, and fitness trainer. Since she picked up Morris
the Moose Goes to School at age four, she has been infatuated with the
written word. She went on to work as a grammar and writing tutor
in college and is still teased by her family and friends for being a member of
the "Grammar Police." In her free time, Erin enjoys acting,
running, kickboxing, and, of course, reading and writing.
Her favorite cheese is that fake, goopy, orange nacho cheese, and she can be found chowing down on it at sporting events or carnivals.
Find her on the web HERE.
1. Erin had a male dog named Lassie who got eaten by an alligator.
2. In college she played a male character (actually a female character pretending to be a male), and a girl hit on her thinking she was a real boy.
3. She was asked to consider being Gertie from ET for a possible sequel when she was a little girl, but refused because she's terrified of ET.
If that wasn't enough, here's another chance to win:

nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and
forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack
close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life
and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold
into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming
one of the Soulless.

Congrats, Liz!
And now for this week's special feature, check out Erin Albert's THE PROPHECY!
Growing up on a small farm in the kingdom of
Vanguard, seventeen-year-old Layla Givens lives a deceptively tranquil
existence. But her carefully constructed life quickly falls apart when she’s
abducted by a religious zealot who proclaims her The Fulfillment of an ancient
peace prophecy and whisks her away to marry her greatest enemy.
Wilhelm, Prince of the Ethereals, is reluctant to meet his new bride. He's grown up believing Vanguards are evil, an enemy to fight and fear...not love. Can he set aside his prejudices and work alongside Layla to bring lasting peace after centuries of war?
Nash, a loner who has never fit in, carries a huge secret, one big enough to destroy both kingdoms. When he accidently meets Layla, he’s no longer content to live in the shadows, but he must resist his growing attraction—for her safety and for the longevity of the two kingdoms.
When Nash's secret is revealed, a firestorm sweeps through both realms, with Layla at the center. Now she must choose between duty and desire while the fate of two nations hangs in the balance.
