Did you know…
In 1939 an author named Ernest Vincent wrote a 50,000 word novel called Gadsby. The only thing unusual about the novel is that there is not a single letter ‘e’ in the whole thing.
Okay. I admit I'm curious enough about this now to go looking for it at the library!
A whole novel, never using the letter "e"? How???
Day 12 Question:
We have hidden 3 (Three) Eastereggs on the Passionate Critters site — find them and tell us where they are! (Date or Post Title)
Here is a little hint (Nope, you don't get a link this time) You can search for it. They are all tagged and categorized.
(Rules are here.)

Charles Dickens had to be facing north before he could write a word.
I'm easy. I just need coffee. I wouldn't know where north is if it bit me.

Perhaps the most uninteresting book ever written is the calculation of pi to two million places, in 800 pages. Just think of the TV special that could be made from this script.
Uninteresting – unless you're a mathematician, I guess. Of course, show me numbers, and my eyes glaze over. 
Day 10 Question:
What is the hero's name in her recent Avalon book GEORGIE ON HIS MIND?

Did you know…

I've never seen a book vending machine. Have you?

Americans buy approximately five million books a day. 125 new titles are published every day.
Every day? Yikes!

Keep playing!

Did you know…
For the last 12 years of his life, Casanova was a librarian.
Seriously.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? I mean, here we have the most famous womanizer in history…
Mind you, I bet he was the sexiest librarian ever. Then again… at that time in his life, probably not.
“I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding.” — Casanova

7. What kind of car did Debora's husband drive when they met?

Did you know…
If you stretched out all the shelves in the New York Public Library, they would extend eighty miles. The books most often requested at this library are about drugs, witchcraft, astrology and Shakespeare.
Amazing, huh? I wonder how long the romance shelves would be.
After all…many include all four of the above! (In various disguises.)
But that wasn't the question. No. No. Even I'm not so evil to make you walk into the NYC Library, line up the romance shelves, and measure the distance covered. (I could have, but hey… Let's leave that one for another day.)
Here it is.
Day 6 Question:
6. When is Silke's next novella "Howl" due to be released?
