Congratulations to My Winners!

Greetings!

I've been away for the last five days, but I'm happy to see that my guests have been keeping things interesting!

I have several winners to announce.

Andrea wins a free ebook for commenting during my guest-fest last week. Thanks,Andrea! And thanks to all of you who made my guests feel at home.

Meanwhile the lovely Jenna Byrnes was the only person to correctly guess which of my seven statements were true, in my Bald-faced Liar post. The correct answers were #4 and #6. Alas, I've never been in a long-term polyamorous relationship, though I have been fortunate enough to participate in several ménages a trois. (Want to know more? Drop by Oh Get a Grip! next Sunday!)

I can't tell you who the Pulitzer Prize-winning author is, for fear of revealing my true identity. However, I can share the fact that the miniskirt was hot pink (my favorite color at the time) and so were my cheeks when I was hauled into the school office. On the other hand, it was the sleazy principal who was ultimately embarrassed, when he looked up my records and discovered that I was the top student in my class. I'm sure that he was thinking I was some cheap, stupid bimbo whom he could intimidate. I've always thought that dress codes were unutterably dumb, just a way to regiment kids and suppress their individuality.

It was actually quite difficult to come up with plausible lies. I'm basically pretty honest. Also, I've shared quite a bit about my life experiences here and there on the 'Net. I didn't want to use any facts that I'd already revealed!

So here's a challenge for you readers. What's the most unbelievable truth about yourself? Leave me a comment and tell me something that nobody would ever believe -- but which is true nevertheless. I'll randomly pick one commenter, and give away yet another prize!

Bald Face Liar--I mean, "Creative Writer"--Contest

My good friend and fellow author, the lovely and prolific Jenna Byrnes, tagged me to participate in this harmless liar’s game. I figured why the hell not? ;^) I’ll post seven items about me, only TWO of which are true. The others are “little white lies”. Try to figure out which two are true, and leave a comment. Correct guesses will be tossed into a random drawing for a free ebook. Winner will be chosen at noon on Wednesday March 10 (I'm going to be away this weekend--so I'll give you extra time).

1. When I was growing up, I had an imaginary playmate named Layla who told me she was an exiled princess.

2. My first kiss took place on the ferris wheel at a local carnival.

3. My first international travel, other than to Canada, was to France.

4. In high school, I was sent to the principal's office because my miniskirt violated the dress code.

5. I nearly died in a car accident when I was sixteen.

6. I am related by marriage to a Pulitzer prize winning author.

7. I spent three years in a polyamorous relationship with two men.

I now hereby pass on the Liar’s Torch to these writers ( in no particular order!). Keep the liar’s game going. Visit their sites and see if you can guess which of their statements are little white lies:
