Word Jumble Game/Contest for ARCs

Dear Book Trailers-Check Them Out Members:Okay, the last word in the first puzzle posted on Saturday April 11. For those who didn’t know about the word puzzle game, it all relates to a fall book release hence the October 1, 2015 reference. The solved puzzles are all artistic titles that give clues pertaining to the book. This week I wanted to wait for no more than a week to gauge interest, see who qualified for the ARC contest and either interest or no, reveal the final solution. All of this transpires on my website at www.cortezlaw.net. To make this easier for the group, I can post the word of the day for each puzzle under this post heading to save the members time. This is fun for all I believe and as I said, gives insight into what’s coming this autumn. The next puzzle will probably be next Monday depending upon involvement/winner selection this week. The original post was on April 1. Okay members, dig in and have a blast!
Sincerely,

All right my Word Jumble/ARC people. Sad to say, we had no winners for PUZZLE #3. The movie? Transfomers: Revenge of the Fallen. I don't think it was as good as the original or maybe even Dark of the Moon. I haven't seen the last installment, Age of Extinction. Getting some ideas about what's Coming Soon! are you?

As you can see, PUZZLE #4 is in the books or should I say, in the jungle. Predator is the answer to the tagline. I think I saw it three times in '87. At the theater, on video at home and at I believe what was a Friday night screening at my alma mater, Kent State University. Iconic movie for Ah-h-hnold and what a cast of actors too. Still holds up today. Maybe Shane Black can re-boot it to that glorious height though Predators wasn't bad. Predator 2...ugh. Sorry, Danny. Sorry too there were no winners for this puzzle.

The classic, a long classic for the time and even today that clocks in at over two and a half hours. I think it was only about two years ago that I first saw it. Very interesting in its ideas but the pacing is slow for most of today's audiences I think. But very interesting nonetheless.
For now, Puzzle #6 is the last Word Scramble/ARC Contest for a bit as other interesting ideas percolate and manifest for the fall event. Perhaps the second round of puzzles will manifest later in the summer. Thanks to all who participated.
October 1, 2015...????? Word Jumble/ARC ContestI want to congratulate Keith Fischer of Kent, Ohio. Keith will receive the Advanced Reading Copy of the Metro Black & Blue Books release this fall the title as yet undisclosed. I know it now, but won't reveal it just yet. In addition, Keith will receive a bonus prize as well. Hold on Keith, it's coming soon. Again, congratulations!
This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
I've had this title on a few blog posts and today is the day for the reveal. Here goes Book Trailers-Check Them Out! Members:
In the coming days and months, I'll post several groups of word puzzles that hold the clues as to what's ahead on October 1, 2015. Each day I will post a scrambled word for that particular puzzle. After all the scrambled words for that particular puzzle group posts, you then have to figure out the correct order to form a sentence. A very special sentence. How special? It and the remaining puzzles are all well-known, let's say, artistic titles. Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. what you believe is the correct famous title and you'll have your answer. What's good about this is that I will only give one word per day so that leaves plenty of time to solve the word-for-the-day. The first five entrants per puzzle that email me the correct final and again, well-known artistic title, I will place their names in a drawing. At the conclusion of the final puzzle, I will randomly select three winners to receive a special prize. That special prize is what, Cortez? I'm an author so all roads lead to take a wild guess? A book! How do you like that? Three special winners will receive ARCs or Advance Reading Copies of my next book, which will tie into these series of puzzles.
Now, how many puzzles you may have thought but didn't voice aloud? Eighteen. WHAT??!! That's right, eighteen. But the good news is some are lengthy, some are short and some are somewhere in the middle. For those of you who love games like Word Jumbles or Scrabble and such, I got you covered. Moreover, the final solutions to each puzzle aren't esoteric by any stretch. It's horrible to enlist brainpower on games like these and nobody but Einstein has a chance at solving them. Not here, folks. And I'll add this too: The artistic titles are all in the same medium or artistic form of expression. So, tell your SOIs or Spheres Of Influence to join the party. Remember, only after the last scrambled word posts and you've formed what you believe is the final solution or aka final artistic title do you send via email your final answer. If I get any emails before the final scrambled word posts in that particular puzzle, I will disqualify that email from a chance at the ARCs. You're pretty on the ball, but an early entree will lead to your fall. And no, those artistic titles aren't of the poetic variety. You can use the Contact form on my website or simply send it via metrobbb@windstream.net.
The period between the last posted scrambled word, the first five correct solutions emailed to me and the posting of the next puzzle will depend upon how soon I get that final puzzle/artistic title. Cool? I hope so. Hey, have fun with this. If no one enters in, I'll pitch a fit and cry. No, well yeah, a little bit perhaps (lol). If that's the case, the game will still serve its purpose but I won't have anyone to reward for their diligence and learned or natural aptitudes and I want to do that! Okay, go to my website at www.cortezlaw.net for the first word in Puzzle #1. God bless you and have fun!
P.S. Oak, Donna and Kat Desi, I hope this post is okay. I thought it would be fun for marketing and for group participation purposes. Please contact me if I violated any rules. Thanks.
