New England SCBWI conference is coming up. And in the spirit of all the blog posts on conference etiquette, I decided to run the other way and do something different. Like hold a contest. Original, I know. (Winner must have a mailing address in the United States.)
I had conference on the brain, and I needed a distraction from the dentist appointment casting a black shadow on my week, so I wrote a story. For fun! I wrote it for me. And I wrote it for you.

Think detective. Think detective. Think detective.
It’s a mystery. Five parts. Posted each day of the week of May 10th.
On Friday, May 14th my story will end with a mystery for you to solve.
What? You want to know the prize? Well, at the conference, I’ll buy a book. I don’t know which one yet, because I haven’t gone to the conference. But it will probably be something I like to read – mystery, humor, paranormal.
On Monday, May 17th, I will post the solution to the mystery where everything will be explained book prizes and twitter clues. On Tuesday the 18th, I’ll post the solution and the winners. Yay!
IMPORTANT: Through out the week, I will Twitter random facts about the characters and story that may or may not be clues. You can follow me on Twitter.
If you want to follow my blog, and then blog or twitter about this contest that would be terrific.
This is about having fun.
Pull out your detective hats and your magnifying glass and get ready for Monday!
