What is a consolation contest? Well, when you were young, did you ever attend a birthday party where the hostess gave out little consolation gifts to all the partygoers--even those not celebrating a birthday--to make the whole event more of a celebration?
That's my intention with this contest. :)
To make this even more fun, I'm turning this contest into a word puzzle scavenger hunt. The words you'll discover will give you the chance to win one of three consolation prizes, and they'll also reveal a key plot point in the next book in my Sisters at Heart series!
Here's what you'll need to do:
1.) Go to the Look Inside This Book section for my latest novel, When the Heart Heals, on Amazon.
2.) Follow the prompts below, to locate the three keywords for the puzzle.
3.) Post a comment here, with the keywords you find.
4.) I'll select three winners by random number generator from all the correct guesses. Be sure to leave your email address with your comment!
Here's what you could win:

ReplyDeleteThe first word is 'can' and the third word is 'cook'. I tried viewing this page on aol and google chrome but page 80 'is not included in this book preview' is the message I get. So, I guessing the phrase is:
ReplyDelete"Can you cook"

Same for me the first word is can and the last word is cook. A message saying "page 37-256 are not included in this book review". So my guess is "Can you cook"...Thanks for the opportunity to win....Linda

I don't own the book so finding that middle one is a problem...I also checked the first is can and the last is cook so I would think "can you cook" would be a good guess. thanks for the consolation..sometimes I miss being younger! =)

ReplyDeleteEliza, Linda, and Wendy: I'm so sorry for the glitch! I've edited the blog post to work with Amazon's Look Inside the Book feature. However, your entries will count 100%, since the fault was mine. Blessings to you!
ReplyDelete(If you have time, just for fun go to word 37 on the bottom of page 28 for the full answer.)
