by sue on Feb.04, 2010, under Book Chat
It’s back! I know we all had fun the last time we did a trivia post so thought it was about time we brought it back. Answer what you can & you may be chosen to receive an assortment of books — one winner today so good luck to all.
1- She writes books with heroes that are Poseidon Warriors?
2- She writes YA & Romance . . . she’s an Oklahoma girl?
3- This author offers scholarships for women, hint, she likes cowboys? Also, a an animal lover?
4- Residing in Michigan, this author writes successfully under two pen names: one is historical; the other for paranormal?
5- 42 of her books have debuted at #1?
6- This author was grew up in Wales?
7- This author was born in Sri Lanka & now lives in Australia?
8- Prior being a NYT Best Selling author she worked in Health Care in Boston? Chief of Staff no less!
9- She is a Shamanic witch considered an elder of the Pagan community?
10- She spent seven years in advertising, had a successful catering business, and managed a construction company before she decided writing books was more fun?
I think this is a pretty tough one so I may break down & give out more random prizes — let’s see how you do — Happy Romance!

Wow! This took me forever and I still don’t think I got them all right. There are one or two really throwing me for a loop. But there were also one or two that were easy. So everything evens out. And I’m glad you’re choosing randomly, that makes it the most fair. I hope we get the chance to do it again even though I’m Googled out. LOL!

Numbers 1 and 5 were way to easy. Good stumping on the rest of them though. I couldn’t find all the answers myself and I refuse to copy off the others who could. I won’t cheat on contests/quizzes even if it is easy to do so.
