Fun with Titles
by Walt Posted on Mar 23, 2006 under Books, Buzz, General |
UPDATE: The contest is over!
My author wife Alison
is having fun today
with a post challenging folks
to mash up the titles of her previous books
into a new title.
What you have to do is take words from various titles and make up a title that’s brand new! Example: CALL ME and THE GRINCH MAKES GOOD could be CALL ME THE GRINCH . . . got it? (And for the SG-5 books? Don’t just switch out names, i.e., The Bane Alibi won’t get you any points, ha!)
So, I figured I’d run a quick contest here too, as I’ve had a copy of Deep Breath sitting here waiting for some new commenter. You see, I open the boxes before she gets them and steal anything I think is cool… You should see my collection of stuff Alison ordered from Amazon that she never got!
So, here’s my additional rules: You have to be a new commenter to this blog, and you can’t have won a book from Alison recently. Oh, and no shipments to South America. And if you want to play, Perfessor, but don’t want to compete, just say so.
Here’s the titles you get to work with, all published (or soon to be published) by Alison Kent:
The Perfect Stranger | Beyond A Shadow | Infatuated | Deep Breath | Goes Down Easy | Red Letter Nights | Totally Charmed | Kiss & Makeup | Undressed | Larger Than Life | Beach Blanket Bad Boys | The McKenzie Artifact | The Beach Alibi | The Samms Agenda | The Shaughnessey Accord | The Bane Affair | Mother, Please! | Indiscreet | Wicked Games | Jingle Bell Rock | Striptease | The Sweetest Taboo | Bound To Happen | No Strings Attached | All Tied Up | Love In Bloom | Four Men & A Lady | Love Me Tender | The Badge And The Baby | The Grinch Makes Good | The Heartbreak Kid | Call Me | Playing Love’s Odds
and I’ll add one more that Alison didn’t.
| The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Erotic Romance |
One winner, chosen at random from the comments to this post. If you already posted in Alison’s blog, you can post here, but there won’t be duplicate winners. (South American addresses may require the winner to pay part of the postage, because shipping there is pricey!)
If you can’t post to the blog here, let me know by email.

In honor of my name being Sam, I’m gonna go with “Samm’s Tied Up Bad Boys”, lol …Don’t I wish ;-)

What if I want to compete, but don’t to play?
The Perfessor

The last time you competed for anything, Perfessor, Groucho Marx made fun of your hair.
March 23rd, 2006 at 12:57 pm
Hell! The last time I competed I actually HAD hair!
The Perfessor
March 23rd, 2006 at 6:21 pm
Btw..I do fit the requirement’s
But now that I think more of my title, and with your extra choice of book, I think Samms a Complete Idiot would be fitting for me most of the time!
