It's Writerly Wednesday! Yay!
And now, it's time to announce the winner of last week's game. Last week Carrie Butler shared two truths and one lie about herself and those who guessed the lie correctly were entered into a random drawing for a copy of her new release, Courage.
The options were:
1. Over 50 exotic animals (lions, tigers, bears etc.) were once set loose on Carrie's hometown.
2. Her level 80 thief on Guild Wars 2 was named after a Firefly character.
3. To win a bet, she once hugged a stranger for thirty-seven minutes.
#3. She says hugging for her=epic fail. Want to read about the crazy crazy loosed on her hometown? Check it out HERE. And I, for one, am SUPER intrigued by anything related to Firefly. (BEST TV SERIES OF ALL TIME.) Ahem, so check it out...
When school let out for the summer of her last year in middle school, fourteen year old Janet Marley had no idea that her life was about to change forever. She was ready to run away. Her mother died when she was seven and she had raised herself because her father, Judge Jonathan Marley, was still grieving. As she set out that night, strange things were happening in the sleepy town of Willow Brook, Maine. It was undergoing a transformation; buildings were fading, the landscape was different, and she was feeling a tug towards the woods. Janet is catapulted into the seventeenth century and comes face to face with the ghost of one of her ancestors who was hung at the age of six, accused of being a witch during the Salem witch trials. Janet learns that if she doesn't remain in the past, she will not have a future.
