It did on mine, too. I almost commented when I found my comment from last year. My answer would have been the same, LOL.

I think it was accidentally shared--FB allows you to share old posts, and that one suddenly popped up in my feed too. :-)

Josh's blog post A Work in Progress in Not Your Usual Suspects.

http://notyourusualsuspects.blogspot....

I always find it fascinating when Josh shares these glimpses into her writing process with us. Very cool!

Calathea | 6034 comments LOL You were 1 min faster!


message 2170: by Calathea (new)

Calathea | 6034 comments And I agree, those glimpses into the writing "progress" are very curious for someone who doesn't write fiction.

Great blog post!

The line about just getting things down on paper somehow sparked an idea for a villain in my story. :-D

Thank you for telling us, dear Johanna. Thank you for the duck roundup, dear Josh.

Oh yes, Josh is wrapping up a series... Serial Killer: On Ending a Series on Not Your Usual Suspects.

http://notyourusualsuspects.blogspot....

To quote Josh: "Here's your chance. Speak now or forever hold your peace..." :-D

Calathea | 6034 comments Saw the link on facebook and jumped right over to the article. I like to read the thoughts about character arc and believable conflict between the main characters.

Yes.

I changed my pre-order to paper because from the excerpt (and from Josh's rec) it was quite clear the I will like it.

I think elements of the book will prove controversial for some readers, but I believe if you like my work, this is going to be one of your favorite books of the year.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the covers or a link to them?


message 2195: by Antonella (new)

Antonella | 11565 comments My compliments to all the talented participants. I vote for:

Bite Club #4
Fool Rush In #2
Monet Murders #6 (second choice #4)
So This is Christmas #2

Something else: you write that there are 5 contests. Do you mean that one is the one to supply a potential cover for The Mermaid Murders? If not I count 4.

LOL! At first I had the same reaction. If you click on the yellow tag ''cover contest'' at the bottom of the entry you'll see the covers.

Thank you, I had missed that one.

The quality of these covers is even more excellent, probably also because there were no constraints on the creativity.

I really don't know. I would avoid the last one: I came to the conclusion that it is better to leave the face of the MCs a bit vague.

Unless it is a series and the author has already chosen: I'm totally in love with Vic and Jacob from PsyCop. I tried Jordan's PsyCop T-shirt in Bristol and I was almost ready to make an exception to my no-t-shirts rule.
NB: I mean Jordan Lombard was wearing a t-shirt designed by Jordan Castillo Price ;-).
