Author Janet Taylor-Perry

Last post for now. I'm taking a break from staring at this screen. I'll check back before close of event.

10. Q&A Time. First, I ask, and you answer. Then, you ask; I answer.

A. Which published novel did the author pen first?

B. Which novel was published first?

C. What is the author's hometown?

D. From which profession did the author recently retire?

The four covers in my Hillbilly Hijinks series have my own four sons as the cover models. (Yes, Mountain Moonshine has a man tending his still behind a tree. No! He is not using the bathroom!) However, the guys are not on the covers in age order 1-4. Two of them occupy his birth order. Which covers are they? You have five minutes to comment. First person to guess right, wins a Kindle copy of For Richter or Poorer…Now, the prize part. Put the book cover models in age order. First correct response, wins Kindle copies of the three prequels to For Richter or Poorer. No timer on this. I'll check back before close of event.

A person from Boston is called a Bostonian. A person from New York is called a New Yorker. A person from San Franscisco is called a San Franciscan. What would you call a person from Possum Holler? You have 15 minutes for responses. First person to get it right, wins a Kindle copy of For Richter or Poorer.

Writing dialect is a dying art. A good rule to remember when creating either dialect or a speech pattern is to choose 6-10 words to convey the way the people speak. Here are six words that I choose to create the backwoods speech before the young people received an education. As always, if you choose the same ones I did, you get a Kindle copy of For Richter or Poorer. You have 15 minutes. Go!

Ladies, this is for you...

Felicia was once married to Mac. Now, she's married to Ron Norton and Mac is married to Sunny Bankston. Ladies, this is for you. If you were Felicia, would you choose

Guys, this is for you...

Alain only ever had eyes for one person...Amy Dent. But Amy married and divorced Tipper Campbell and left Possum Holler. Alain found comfort is a "working" girl, Blanche Proctor. If you were Alain, would you rather have

This:

That:

SPOILER ALERT! Alain becomes an author. How is what you need to find out, so read. However, there's a scene where his friend Amy jokes about his use of metaphors. Using either a metaphor or simile, describe Felicia's hair. You have fifteen minutes to respond. Then, I'll give you mine. If by some miracle you use the same one I did, you either cheated and read the series already or you're psychic. Still, you will get a Kindle copy of For Richter or Poorer.
