message 51: by Tanya (new)

Tanya | 38 comments I have two questions about this challenge:
1. Can it be either the author's first or last name that begins with the vowel? and
2. For the purposes of this challenge I now realize that the "Y" in my name may count as a vowel. I always consider it a consonant. If this is the case, please let me know as I'll need to re-work the name portion.
Thanks!


message 52: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) Tanya:

1) yes, either author name, first or last, is fine.
2) I think in your name it’s acting as a consonant as well, so no need to rework anything!

Enjoy!
