Miss Maggie is my protagonist's sidekick, Magnolia Shelby, a 90+ year-old retired history teacher and probably the most popular character in the series. She even has her own fan page on Facebook (check out the link to the left of this blog).
Here's the way the contests will work: Send your answers to first quiz below, along with your full name, to MissMaggieTests@gmail.com. All entries who ace the quiz will be entered in a drawing to win the free signed book of their choice from the Possessed Mystery Series. If you have all 3 books already and can't think of anyone who'd like one as a gift, don't let that stop you. Tell me that on your entry and another prize will be selected for you. If no one aces the quiz, the person with the best score will win the book. Entries not selected in the first drawing will be eligible for later drawings. I'll post another quiz in February and one in March, then we'll do a grand prize drawing in April, which will be for a hot-off-the-press signed copy of FEAR ITSELF.
Only entries sent to MissMaggieTests@gmail.com will be eligible. Deadline for entries for the quiz below will be January 31, 2011. Winners will be announced February 1st.
Since my first novel, BY BLOOD POSSESSED, was set in May 1864, the Civil War is the subject of the first quiz. Pencils ready! (Or should I say, start your Google Search Engines?)
