A moderator will begin this game by placing blanks for each letter in the title and the author's name. For example, if I am attempting to have you guess Dark Prince by Christine Feehan, it would look similar to the following:

- - - -*- - - - - -

by

- - - - - - - - -* - - - - - -

Anyone who wants to play posts one and only one letter. After a day, I will post the correct letters that were guessed. If person 1 guesses "G," person 2 guesses "S," and person 3 guesses "I." My next post would look like this

- - - -*- - i - - -

by

- - - is - i - -*- - - - - -

No "g's."

This could go on for several days until someone guesses the title. If you think you know it, post your guess rather than a letter. The person who guesses correctly, starts the next "Guess the Title and Author" game. I will start the first game below.

Here is the first game. I have place an "*" (asterick) as a place holder between words; double spacing between words is not working.

(It was the first name that gave it away on the last game. The only letters missing were the first two letters of the first name and the last name was four letters. The first name had to be "Christina" and the only author named Christina with four letters for a last name just had to be Christina Dodd. It was just a matter of figuring out which book.

I'll take an H please!

Sorry, Susan, there aren't any "h's."
